Baby, Bitcoin and other random thoughts

5/29/2016

It’s Sunday morning and I’m working? Yup.  I have a new client coming in soon  …Color correction… Ouch! She used a supermarket hair color. Good for me I guess.
I came in early to set up and I have some spare time. So here are some random thoughts about my life as a stylist, mother and I am proud to say ….. I recently became a grandmother!

I may work a Sunday or two but Mondays I babysit my grandson all day. His name is Chance and at six months of life he is so adorable. I look forward to my Monday's with him so much. I treasure the time knowing he won’t be so small for very long.

What else?....Oh...

My husband says to me that “we” should “retire” to Mexico and set up a “nice little salon next to the beach”…..Excuse me? Let me get this straight, He gets to retire next to the beach and I keep working? 

My son is graduating high school this week and wants to join the Navy. I’m happy but sad at the same time. How the time has flown…

I’m reading my website data from Google. Yes, this is a homemade website. It's not a professional layout but I am getting better. Google analytics claims 68% of the people that hit my site are mobile users. WOW…I don’t know what the national average is but that sure seems high. 

Many that visit my studio that come from the website ask about Bitcoin because they notice the Bitcoin icon on the bottom of each page. I’m one of the few in this industry that accept Bitcoin as payment. I’m not really into the cryptocurrency thing but it is fascinating to me to participate in its growth.  Most clients that pay me in Bitcoin are tourists visiting Vegas. They come in and they talk about it.... I listen lol….I really should learn more about it. I understand the basics, the blockchain (the digital assets network that host bitcoin) and I’m getting to be a pro at currency exchange. I also keep some just to monitor the wild volatility swings. Like the internet itself, It is definitely a disruptive technology. Is it the future of money? I don’t know but it is cool that there are no transaction fees, none, zero. only a small 1% conversion rate. Much less expensive than credit card and banking fees and I don't have to wait 3-4 days unlike conventional digital currency transactions.

Back to work. My client is here and I gotta run. Work work work..... I'll pretend I'm working on a beach in Mexico lol

Razor cutting your hair

5/23/2016

 
Using a razor helps to enable more swing and movement in hair styles; a modern, jagged, disheveled line; the ability to redefine the texture of the hair; thinning out thicker textures; short, messy, and undone hair styles; and beautiful soft-shaped layers. When curly hair is cut short, the cuts should be made with the natural curl rather than against it.

.For me, razor cuts versus scissor cuts means different cutting techniques. The hair is held differently and cut using different motions. These techniques require practice to master. The razor can be used for the entire cut, or simply to soften and texturize the hair once it has been initially cut using scissors.
 
For you, the results are the biggest difference between the two cutting methods. The hairstyles achieved with razor cuts tend to be smoother and ​softer looking. In many ways the look is more organic, without clearly defined layering or weight lines.

Why not add some asymmetry to your hair?

5/13/2016

 
This technique of cutting gives diverse shapes as well as off balance to your haircut. It is growing to become one of the most asked for looks for 2016 so far. Don’t miss out on this trend that will give your cut that little bit of edge to set  you apart from the rest.

Why a hair consultation?

5/4/2016

 
Having a consultation is a very important step when visiting any salon, especially when it’s for a DRASTIC cut or complete color change!  Here, I list the reasons why I suggest you have a consultation and what you can expect.....

1. It is important for me to look at your hair in its natural state. This will help me see the texture of your hair, if it is dry, oily, fine etc. 

2. Speak up! When I ask you about your lifestyle, make sure you speak up and provide me with as much information as possible. It is important that you explain any medication you are taking, if you have any illnesses that affect your hair and if you are allergic to any hair treatments or products.

3. During your consultation, I may suggest a patch test. A patch test is only necessary for color treatments. A patch test is important to ensure your skin does not react with the brand of color I may use on you. A patch test needs to be carried out at least 24-48hrs before your color appointment.

4. Bring along pictures of hairstyles and colors that you like and dislike, this will give me an idea of the type of look you desire.

5.  If I have concerns about the condition of your hair or recommend products that will improve your hair…take my advice! My main concern is the health of your hair! Cuts and or color look much better with healthy hair. 

A proper consultation is an integral part of getting to know you, your wants and most importantly, your expectations. Call me during the day or text me anytime to set up a free one-on-one consultation.  ​
