As the Chair Turns - May 2022

                                                   Hello.  Hello.  Hello.

I know I say this pretty much every month, but I truly hope you are doing well.  And those of you who are “re-entering” the work space (or have already), I hope it’s going smoothly.  A new routine (even though it’s really not) takes time getting used to.  Please be patient with yourself and those around you.  You got this!

We had a couple workshops in the salon last month.  One on a new haircolor line and the other on the Davines products we carry in the salon.  Davines is an amazing company that prides their self on beauty and sustainability.  The line has a haircare product for all the hair and scalp concerns you might have.  It is treatment based for specific needs as well as focusing on your everyday haircare needs. I will never “push” products on you, but I also want you to be using  the right products for your haircare needs.  That’s the purpose of my newsletter, too.  To help, educate, and answer any questions you might have.

The news of the day (of the world) certainly hasn’t let up at all, that’s for sure.  I know we (I) need to be paying attention but I also know we (I) need to make sure we’re (I’m) finding and making time to shut it off and take a break.  Watching our local sports teams (Go Warriors!) is just one of the ways I “escape” from the draining news. I’m way behind on movies but just recently binged “Heartstopper” on Netflix.  And Oh My, what a great series. I can’t recommend it enough.  Podcasts are a great “escape”, too.  I have one for you below a client recommended that is full of "spies, secrets, soviets, and leather pants".  It’s a timely listen, too, considering what’s happening in the Ukraine right now.

We are mask free in the salon so I am leaving it to you on whether or not you want to wear a face mask for your appointment.  I’m triple vaxed so I probably will not be wearing a mask.  I did have my first client last month who shared with me, well into their appointment, that they were not vaccinated. They wore their mask during their appointment, but it was a reminder there still are individual who are not vaccinated.  If you have not received your vaccination(s), you must wear a mask during your appointment. Please also let me know right away so I can take any necessary precautions, which means I may need to also wear a mask.

I've mentioned this before and it’s worth repeating.  If you hear that a friend or co-worker’s stylist has moved or is no longer doing hair, please feel free to pass along my information.  Here’s my digital business card and a QRCode you can share.

                                                        ***************
