Happy Memorial Day!

   Wow, it's hard to believe that the year is almost half gone and Summer is just around the corner. We've been as busy as ever getting everyone coifed and colored in anticipation of the season. I hope that you have a fantastic weekend and that you are safe in your travels. Please take a few minutes during the fun and festivities to give thanks to and  remember those who have served us so that we can enjoy the freedoms that we have. With that said, it's time to lock up the doors, go home and fire up the grill and pour off a long cool one.

I love making a difference and seeing the happiness and confidence I inspire in my guests with the looks I create for them.

The End is near.....

   The end of the week, that is, and what a splendid week we've had.  We're happy about our new association with ValpoLife. I hope that you take the time to explore some of our fellow businesses in  downtown Valparaiso on your next visit to our Salon.There are truly treasures to be found in our community.
  Amanda will be doing hair for the stage production of  Chicago put on by the talented people at the Memorial Opera House. We're proud of her and hope that you can make it out to see her talent presented on stage. There are few things in our industry that are any more fun than doing hair for a theatrical production, the smell of the grease paint, the roar of the crowds, all experienced from chaotic world of life behind the stage.
  As far as the end of the world is concerned, if it truly comes today, I take great pleasure in knowing that I will go out while doing what I love the most, surrounded by the people that mean the most to me: My Wife, my Staff and all of our fabulous guests. I hope everyone enjoys the weekend.

End of the Week

   A chilly, damp May morning. We're busy today with wedding parties and prom styles. I hope that the weather improves for everyone's special occasions.They say that it is good luck if it rains on your wedding day but I can't help wondering wether this saying was coined to calm the nerves of some ancient bride long ago. It's interesting where our traditions come from such as the wedding bouquet and carrying the bride over the threshhold. I may expose some of these traditions in the future if anyone is interested but for now it's time to get back behind my chair with a handfull of pins, and twirl my curling iron for the sake of our Brides and young girls fancies. Best wishes for the weekend for everyone!
