2022 News

Hairqueen News

It's 2022! I am now in my 40th and last year of hairstyling! I went to Cosmetology School in 1982 and I will be retiring this September. 



This is the current plan, although if we have learned anything since March 2020, it's that anything can derail the best laid plans.

What does this mean for you? It means we have until September to keep you looking fabulous and, after September, we’ll find you someone great to keep you coiffed.  

In other news, I am now in my 25th year of salon ownership! Swans Studios will be nine in August and I owned Topps Salon Day Spa for sixteen years before Swans. 


Cheers for 25 years!

Some of you have been my clients since the 1980s and some of you became clients more recently. Thank you all for your continued patronage and support, particularly during this pandemic time we're living through. 


Swans Studios News

Thank you especially for all your help and encouragement regarding the current vacancy at Swans Studios. Many of you have told me that you are grateful Swans Studios is a vaccine-only environment and some of you have helped pass on the word about our opening. Thank you so much. I have interviewed a stylist or two, but so far the next best Swans Studios Suite Owner has yet to join our crew.



If you know someone interested in applying, my cell is 510-545-2955 or they can email me at suzanne@suzannevanhouten.com

As always, for future appointments call 510-545-2955, email me at suzanne@suzannevanhouten.com or click here to book online.
