Happy May Day!! What great weather, and strange weather we are having, I guess it is spring!!Many of you will have a very busy month with mother's day and graduations, plus the end of school. Remember a gift cert. for that certain someone plus this months coupon is with every gift cert. bought get a $5.00 off coupon for any hair service.
New this month is a product called Morroccan Oil. Check out there web site www.morranoil.com for more info. This month all the products in this line will be 15% off. I have tried the oil and the curly hair lotion, both a great product.
Also coming in the OPI line is Shriek Colors and this summer there will be a line of summer colors, I think 4-5 different colors.
I haven't decided on the organic color line yet, I have tried there perms and they are great. The only thing is it all ships from Florida, that is what is holding me up. Plus the price will go up. Something to think about. If you have any feed back let me know.
One more thing I am getting a new sink!! I am excited, the old one works for me but not for alot of my customers, tend to get a wet neck. So hopefully in the next couple of weekends my carpenter (Rich) will get it in!!
See ya soon.

Here it is April already. I think we are all ready for some warm weather!! This months coupon special is $5.00 off of a perm. I think everyone is ready for a new and brighter look for spring. Just by adding a few highlights or low lights around the face will make a big change and they are only $1.oo a foil!
I am looking at an organic haircolor product, I have tried there perms and I love them-they are on the pricey side so if I decide to carry them it will be optional and the price would be alittle higher.
They also have an organic hair care line which sounds good, I have been trying some other products out from other companies, so far maybe I have found a good shampoo and conditioner, but they are not totally organic. So I will keep looking. If you have any feed backs let me know. See you soon.

Happy March, it's almost the first day of spring!! Hopefully we are on our way to warmer weather. I'm sure this month will go as fast as last month. Will be alot of outdoors work to do this spring!
The coupon for this month is 1 FREE haircut for the month of March. Remember you can't print it so just mention it at time of payment. Thanks!

Happy February!! Where did January go, even though it was rotten weather wise. I wanted to let you all know that I got my tanning bed SOLD. So no more tanning, I have been thinking about it for awhile.
New OPI polishes are on there way should be here this week HONG KONG. Some different bold colors. Check out the Alice in Wonderland colors that arrived in Jan.
Went to a hair class yesterday at IWCC. Learned a couple of tech. to lift the hair without making the layers shorter. A foil technique, which is simpler and doesn't require many foils, an easy, and resonable way to add afew colors.
Lets hope all of the bad weather is over for awhile. Have a great Valentine's Day!! Hope to see you soon.

Can you believe it's already the 17th! And the weather is rotten, enough of this fog! I would like to tell you tanners that I have sold my tanning bed. I have been thinking about it and decided it was time for a change. From what I'm hearing the new health bill is taxing an extra tax on them, and I decided that I didn't want to mess with it. So out it went. Thank you for all of the tanning support over the last 12 years.
The new Alice and Wonderland polish is hear, I thought it was The wizard of oz, wrong show. There are 4 polishes in this set. Coming in early Feb. the Hong Kong set will be here.
That's about all of the new items right now.
Don't forget about the monthly coupons, which I did something to the site and you can't print it so just tell me. Thanks.

For some reason I am having problems getting the coupon page to work, so just mention that you were on the blog and saw the coupon or write it down on a piece of paper. Sorry. Lu
