As the Chair Turns - February 2021

HOPE
Hold. On. Pain. Ends.
​
Hello. Hello. Hello.  
It feels so great to be back!
AND you can get your hair done now, too!

We made it to February.  Whew!  Not without a few “hiccups”, though.  But, we made it!

A client shared that they celebrated the Inauguration as the beginning of 2021.  Not January 1st, but January 20th.  Hearing that made complete sense.  The Inauguration really was a new beginning.  Last year was very difficult for so many of us and we really needed something to shift.  The COVID-19 Vaccine has also given many of us a hopeful outlook for the future that we haven’t had in quite a while.  There’s still a long road ahead, but at least there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Parting in sweet sorrow.  The time with my Mother was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.  I have not been able to spend that much time with her since I moved out West in 1985.  One of the blessings of a locked-down world.  We accomplished all we set out to do, and boy was there a list.  We went through the house from top to bottom and nothing was left untouched.  There are a few things I need to help list and sell (a couple cameras, an inversion rack, and a turkey fryer), but that’s really all.  I know Mom will confirm this, there was a real sense of accomplishment.  It wasn't all work.  We went for a couple drives, grabbed a few meals out (take-out, that is), sat on the front stoop and soaked in the morning sun, and even watched a small heard of deer one morning just beyond the back fence. Now, that was special. I’ll be going back again in the Summer for a couple weeks.  In the mean time, we’re continuing our twice a day phone calls.  

As always, I’ve put together some articles I hope you’ll find helpful and interesting.  I have articles for you on silicones in hair products, messy buns, apple cider vinegar, how to get the haircut you'll love, beards, mullets, and more.

Like said above, it is really great to be back at work.  I am really, really, really looking forward to seeing you!
 
As always, I am available by email, text or phone if you have any questions or concerns.
 
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Be well. Take Hair! AND #MaskUp 😷
