Yahoo! the salon remodel is almost complete

The salon is almost complete, the only thing left to finish is the bathroom,  hopefully the next couple of days (fingers crossed). I would like to thank all of you for putting up with the construction mess.  I was up to my eyeballs in dust and clutter, so thanks for your patience.  I think it turned out great, the setup is much improved and accommodating.  I love the extra room it now provides. 

I would like to take this time to thank all of those who helped out with remodel.  My husband provided numerous hours of  back breaking work and never complained once.  He did a great job and I appreciate his patience with me ( I was a bear at times).  I would also like to thank my dad for his help and for offering up his talents for the cause.  He constructed the hair stations that exceeded my expectations.  Last of all I would like to thank my strapping brother-in-laws for donated time to the cause as well.  Thanks to everyone who helped out in one way or the other to transform the new look of the salon. Please come check it out, I know you will enjoy the new salon experience.

As many of you know in addition to the remodeled salon I have brought in an apprentice to help me out.  Mindy is getting close to achieving enough hours to start accepting clients.  She is extremely artistic and talented. She is a great addition to the salon and will be needing lots of practice heads to complete her training.  She is way ahead of the curve and will be able to provide professional cuts at beauty college prices.  So quite sending your kids and husbands to dollar cuts and take advantage of this opportunity by making appointments for them.  She is not yet ready, so I will let you know when she is ready. 

Thanks again for your patience and please come enjoy the newly remodeled salon. 

What have I been up to, and what is to come?... if anyone cares (: !

   Hello my friends I hope that by now you have gotten used to using this new website, it has made my life so much easier! I hope that you are loving the fact that you don't have to wait on me anymore to call you back! If you need to call me please do I will get back to you faster now because I don't have as many phone calls!!

   As for me I am studying to take my state board to become a certified instructor because I am going to apprentice a friend. We are going to be doing some remodeling in the salon to make room for her also. So please bare with us this summer as we do this!

  Since it is summer I am going to be workinga few more hours I am available during the day on Tues and Fri now also!

  Last but not least I became certified in eyelash extensions and I am now taking clients. Since I am still learning I am doing them for less so I can get more practice. Most salons charge a minimum of $125.00 for a full set. I am going to charge $75.00 with a free 1-2 week touch up. So please start booking they are so great just think how nice it would be to go camping and swimming and not worry about Mascara!

Thanks for trying out the website and being so great

Chlorine and Your Hair: The Best Tips for Keeping Hair Healthy

Well it is coming up on that time of year I am hoping that this will help some of you and your kids not end up with green hair!

Some of the best times of the summer are spent next to the pool. For those women and men who want to take advantage of the cooling waters of the pool, the best bet for keeping hair healthy is to wear a bathing cap. Unfortunately, these caps are some of the silliest looking things in the world, so how do you keep your hair safe when it will be dipped into chlorinated water over and over again? Follow these tips and swim to your heart’s content.

• Water log your hair. Before heading out to the pool, trying soaking your hair in warm water for a few minutes. The more water logged your hair is before getting into the pool, the less chlorinated water will soak into those strands.

• Wash your hair immediately. Immediately after leaving the pool water, you will want to wash your hair. If the chlorine is allowed to dry in the hair, the damage could be more severe. There are certain shampoos that are made with ingredients to absorb chlorine. If you are wondering whether or not your shampoo is specifically designed for chlorine absorption, try looking for sodium thinosulfate on the ingredient label.


• Use a great leave in conditioner. Spraying your hair with a leave in conditioner before taking that first dive can help the hair to fend off the damage of chlorine. The conditioner acts like a shield for the hair and keeps the hair from absorbing as much chlorine as unprotected hair.

The summer months are supposed to be full of summer parties by the pool. Instead of donning that silly bathing cap, try protecting your hair and treating your hair before and after the swim. These tips will help to keep your hair beautiful and shiny all summer long no matter how many hours you spend in the chlorine.
