Happy Holidays

HairQueen News


Last December, salons were closed. Then came 2021 and all it entailed. 



I'm so grateful the salon is open now!

We got our vaccines, stylists continued to work masked, clients stayed masked. Professionally, my love for hair and you, my clients, got me through.


What a relief to be fully vaccinated!


On the personal side, I became a Glamma again! 


Isla, her new little sister, Pali Lu, plus my family and friends got me through the rest of it all.


Isla and Pali Lu

What helped you get through this past year?


Is it the booster, the chance to gather with friends and family, the opportunity to begin to travel again, or maybe just the ability to breathe a little easier? All of these are true for me.  


Swans Studios News

I am still looking for a new person to join Swans Studios. I made the decision that Swans Studios is a vaccine-only environment, this is why the space is open. It has been many years since I have had an opening. Before Covid, people were clamoring to join us. Post Covid is a different reality. 


If you know any hair stylists, barbers or estheticians ready for their next step in the salon world, please send them my way; they must be vaccinated. I look forward to meeting them.

Endings and Beginnings

HairQueen News: I celebrated a big milestone, forty years of being a hairstylist and 25 years as a business owner. I was planning to completely retire but then I decided to keep the “tip of my scissors” in for a while longer. This decision means I am free to step into a new phase of life as I gradually let go of my wonderful salon career. We had a party — it was fantastic! I loved every minute. My heart overflowed as my clients, colleagues, and family helped me mark this major career milestone.                                                                                                                                              ...
