Happy New Year!!!!!

   The Holidays have come and gone and the New Year is upon us. It lies in front of us like a book full of blank pages waiting to be filled with our hopes, our dreams, our desires. I, like many of you, reflecting on the year just passed, have made promises to myself that I intend to keep, losing weight, excercising, eating better, quitting smoking...... the list goes on and on. But the most important promise I've made is to devote myself to those that I serve and to continue my commitment to excellence. I would like to thank everyone of our Guests for making us what we are.

   We would like to welcome Katie Hayes as the newest member of our staff. Katie is new to our industry and brings with her new, fresh ideas that she would like to share with you.As soon as I can pin her down for a few minutes, her bio will be posted along with the rest of ours.With all of this weight loss, excercise and changes for the better, don't forget to schedule an appointment for a new look for the New Year.

Fall marches on !

   It's been awhile since my last post. I've been busy painting, remodeling and sprucing up the Salon for the Holidays and I needed a little time to refresh and renew my spirits. Speaking of spirits, I thought I would share with you some of the hi-lights of this years Downtown Merchants Trick or Treat. We have such a good time with it every year, watching the children run around in their costumes in an agitated state of excitment brought on by the magic of the day and the sugar buzz that we're happy to help provide them with.

Happy Labor Day!

   I hope that eveyone has a great time celebrating the last "Hoorah" of the season. This is our last chance to wear our summer clothes before we put them away. Next week it's time to break out the Fall wardrobe, wich is also a great time to think about changing your hairstyle. We're starting to see some movement in hair again, long, loose curls and a little more volume for those of you with longer locks. For shorter hair, choppy, unstructured movement still seems to be a good choice but we are moving away from the unblended looks that have been popular for the last couple of years. Classic taylored looks are starting to make their appearance as well.
   It's also a good time to have your color adjusted for the season. Summer hi-lights and sun bleached colors will leave you looking washed out when your tan has faded. A trick I use for my blonde guests during the late Fall/Winter is to weave fine ribbons of red thru their color. You don't really see it but it warms up their skin tones making them look more vibrant and alive. This is a great time of year for brunettes and red heads and there are a lot of little tricks that we use at the Salon to enhance the natural beauty of their hair as well. Fine weaves of reds, golds, maybe some low-lights, the possibilities are as endless as your imagination. So, celebrate the colors of the season and treat yourself to a new look today.

For styling versatility.....

   One of my favorite styling products from KENRA, Styling Creme! This product is perfect for any style, texture and length of hair. Provides the hair with shine, thermal protection and light conditioning in a touchable, medium hold formulation to define and maintain your style.Perfect for cocktailing with other KENRA products to create signature formulations to meet your individual needs. Also great for men.

Summer goes by much too quickly

   Now that the Fair has come and gone it seems like Summer is coming to an end. In a couple of weeks school will be back in session wich means we'll be busy getting everyone ready to greet their peers. Already the teachers are starting to trickle in, getting coifed and colored and ready to meet a new group of students as a new year begins. Football games and Fall sweaters, warm, sunny afternoons and enough chill in the evenings to let you know that you're alive, that you exist. Harvest festivals and falling leaves amidst a season set ablaze with color, the splendor of the upper midlands in all of its glory.
   I know you don't want to think of it but the inevitable shall soon be upon us. While we wait, my prayer for all of you is that you enjoy the season while it lasts and take from it all of the pleasure it has to offer you.  Live, laugh and love like tomorrow may not come, for soon the seasons offerings shall abate and the dream of summer will be just that, a dream that we once had.
