With Gratitude

Hairqueen News:  

The holidays are quickly approaching! I have been working hard on my Inner City Capital Connections, ICCC presentation and I am getting ready to go to New York to attend the ICCC National Conference from November 16 to 17.  I plan mostly to attend the conference in New York and hope to squeeze in a little sightseeing around the Big Apple.

Now that we have our new tenant at Swans Studios and my ICCC course is about to be completed, I can start to focus on the busy holiday season.  I am so grateful that my salon books are full with you, my wonderful clients. If you have not booked yet for the holidays, don't fret as I can add you to my waiting list and or refer you to my new associate Ginger. Please shoot me an email and we can make happy hair happen.

This year I am hosting Thanksgiving. My sister and her family will join us as well as my daughter, her in-laws, a neighbor and some dear friends.  We will have a full house and I am so excited.  With all that has been going on in the world time with family and friends is more poignant than ever. 

One of the gifts and privileges of being a long time hairstylist is the joy of witnessing my clients lives as they unfold and change with the seasons. As well as sharing my life's journey and changes with you.

Change is the one thing we can count on in the merry-go-round of life.  I am grateful to have you along on the ride with me.

Thankful for family! This was at my daughter's wedding
