A Week of Many Specialties!

| Shikote

Wow what a great week!  I just can’t say enough about how much I love the challenges that come into this salon!!  I am so thankful to have so many special talents as a hair stylist.  These are some of the fun people I got to work with this week.

Veronica’s dreads have got to be nearing a year. They look great!!

If you cut the loose hairs from the tips of your dreads, your dreads will unravel a little and become shorter. Someone trimmed her ends, so we made a special appointment to give her hair some of it’s length back.
She knew she had curls but had been flat ironing because it was easier.

I gave her hair some deep conditioning and a cut for curly hair!! She can still straighten it, but I bet she wont want to!

Jenny came in for just a trim. She’s got interesting hair texture.

I cleaned up her cut and gave it some shape without thinning it since it was already very texturized. I like her hair left thicker, and the new shape is really nice!!

Skateboarders next door. They showed up just as I was having a break! Perfect timing guys!!

Self Portrait “Working”

The salon is getting busier, and I’m looking for an assistant.  If anyone finds this type of hair interesting and would like to learn, please contact me!!

On another note…  I’ve hired a professional graphic designer who is working on a few things including the signs for the salon!!  I apologize that there is no sign yet!!  It’s my (very realistic) goal to have an awning and two signs up by the end of Fetbruary.  Thanks for being patient!!
