As the Chair Turns - November 2018

The days are getting shorter so that means winter is right around the corner.   Daylight Savings Time ends the first Sunday of November at 2:00am. (that's this coming Sunday) so remember clocks “fall back” an hour, so in theory we’ll be gaining an extra hour sleep.  

Even though we don’t have the typical “4 Seasons” in the San Francisco Bay Area, many of you will be traveling to colder parts this winter.  With colder weather knit caps go on and heaters get cranked up.  These colder temperatures can wreck havoc on your hair.   I have a few articles for you this month with helpful tips on winterizing your hair (and beard).   

Did you know Fall and Winter tends to be a time when we shed more hair?   Oh GREAT!

I love having each and everyone one of you in my chair and NONE of the things on this list “Are You Driving Your Barber/Stylist Crazy?” pertain to you.  No, really, they don’t.   BUT, it is never a bad time to go over a few things just to make sure you and everyone else in the salon have a great experience.  

I always have my eyes and ears open for what’s trending with hair (just in case any of you might be ready for a change).  Men’s hair is still trending a little longer and Women’s hair, even though it’s getting cooler out, is trending shoulder length or shorter.   I will always ask if you’re wanting to try something a little different.  Even so, please, don’t be shy in letting me know if you are ready for a change or want to try something different.  Depending on the style, we may need to put a plan together to help you reach that goal.   Just like the seasons, hair (long or short) will continue to change and, yes, it will grow.

Start thinking about your “Best of 2018”.   It’s early, I know, but the Holidays are upon us and pretty soon you’ll be asking yourself where did the year go.   

As with every month, I hope you find something in this issue that grabs your attention.    Please share with your loved ones and friends (there's a forward button near the bottom).  You never know, they might find something interesting in here as well.

Oh yeah, VOTE…!!!
