As the Chair Turns - June 2021

How about that, we survived!

What a time it’s been, right. We’ve laughed. We’ve cried. We’ve grown (hopefully) as a person. We sure aren’t the same person (people) we were nearly a year and a half ago. There are a lot of unknowns ahead, but that’s kind of always been the case, hasn’t it. Right now it just seems different, even a little overwhelming at times. Most of us have never had our world, THE World, come to such a screeching stop like we’ve just experienced. It might not always seem like it, but we are united. Even with all the detractors, the majority of us have been and continue to be resilient. Now we just have to trust and find our own comfort in dipping our toe back in the water. I can do it. You can do it. WE can do this.

On June 15th, California will be opening back up. I will continue to keep you up to date on what that means for you and for your visit to the salon. Whether or not you are fully vaccinated will determine if you need to continue wearing a face mask inside the salon.

Just a reminder I will be taking a few days off the beginning of July, July 1st through the 10th to be exact. I'm heading to Colorado to see my Mom. Look at your calendars and plan out your upcoming appointments.

I also want to let you know I will have a slight increase in my prices beginning July 1st. It’s been a couple years (and a pandemic) since I’ve had an increase. Your continued support allows me to invest in my education to stay current with the industry and continue setting the bar high.

Survey Says…
Men are willing to change up their hairstyle. AND would not be opposed to bringing back the mullet. SAY WHAT? Granted, the “modern” mullet isn’t what it was back in the day. If done with a sense of style (and not too much “business in the front / party in the back”) it’s a style most guys could actually pull off.

Cruella is hitting the theaters. I stumbled across a nice article with the stylist who created the new “revamped” looks for the film.

I’ve had a few of you ask about bar shampoo so I wanted to pass along an article I found on some to the better bar shampoos for your hair type. It also includes a quick “How to” on using bar shampoo.

Bed head doesn’t have to be a bad thing. You just need to know how to “rock” it. Check out some of the tips in the article below so you don’t look like you’ve given up on life.

With the unknown and uncertainty in the near future I was reminded of a little book introduced to me back when I worked in the corporate world. It’s called “Who Moved My Cheese”. It’s a perfect read (and listen, because I found an audio archive) for unexpected changes that may lie ahead.

That’s just some of what I have for you this month.

Listen to my "Gettin' Through" playlist while you're reading this.

I know I've said this before: I really do appreciate 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!
