Vaccination Rollout Phase 2

Hairqueen March News

As I began to write this update I hardly knew what to write or where to start because there seems to be something new to share almost everyday!

First, we are almost at the one year mark of our first COVID-19 shut-down and secondly, we are in the midst of the vaccine rollout.  

The salon industry and all personal care services are currently in the “other” category listed on MyTurn and other vaccine sites.  

For most of the personal care industry that means having to wait weeks or possibly months for a vaccine.  

Although, with the recent introduction of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine hopefully appointments will be made available for the personal care industry soon.

In the meantime I have contacted the Alameda County Health Department, MyTurn, and my doctor to advocate for the Personal Care Industry to be included in the COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout Plan.  

We would like to be included along with bars and restaurants which are eligible to receive the vaccine at this time.

I have also signed and donated to this petition, please click on the link, sign and share if you are willing?

Thank you!




Nurse M. receiving her first dose of the vaccine !


I am delighted that many of you have received your first and some of you your second dose of the vaccine. 

And then just as I was beginning to write this update, I received a text and a chance to sign up for the vaccine!  

It seems everyday is a test in patience, faith, perseverance and luck. 

All of these have contributed to me and Swans Studios surviving this past year and I could not have done it without you.



Spring is here it's time to think about a Spring haircut or color and that is how I would like to be spending my time moving forward. 




Scissor, comb, create


Masked and ready to go




Thank you for reading this blog and I will see you soon :)

Retirement Life

HairQueen News On October 1 2022 after 40 plus years of working full-time I stepped way-back from the salon chair and way-into retirement life.   As the date grew closer, I was and still am all over the place with so many feelings and uncertainties about how to navigate this next stage. To mark the occasion of my retirement I had a wonderful party, please see the previous blog, Endings and Beginnings.  Next, I went on a celebratory trip which included a week sailing the Atlantic Ocean on the Queen Mary 2.  So exciting! Crossing the Atlantic Ocean Gala Time Upon my return I am turning my attention to what it means to be an older, wiser, experienced, master of my trade.  As space in my life opens up I will take the opportunity to grow Swans Studios, to mentor, coach and consult within and beyond the salon industry. With more free time I will enjoy my granddaughters, my family, friends and hobbies. I know from many of you that the retired life is a busy life and I am grateful t

My holiday season was festive and especially fun with a one year old and a three and half year old, (granddaughters are the best.)
