Self-care Matters

1/20/2021

Even though our days seem short, minutes of daylight have been steadily increasing since Winter Solstice in December (the shortest day of the year).

What makes me feel better as the days promise to grow longer?

Lighting my candle! This is a simple action that always makes me feel cozy and warm especially when it's cold outside!

Also, taking care of myself is important. I'm hydrating daily--up to 80 ounces of water!--and I'm making sure to relax each day, especially after standing at the shop.

Having your hair done offers a great boost as well! Schedule your appointment for a trim or to add a bit of shine to your look.

You mean so much to me!

1/11/2021

First of all, thank you for patronizing me the entire year! I appreciate your choosing me for your hair services all year long. I enjoy each and every one of you, and I'm looking forward to bigger and better times this year. Let's share at least two positive things during each of our visits!

Second, thank you so much for showering me with an abundance of gifts this year at Christmas time! I went shopping with my gift cards and have some new pieces of clothing form Macy's Target, Fabletics, and Talbots!! I have more coffees to get at Starbucks and extra dollars in my pocket. The goodies shared were all of my favorites as you all know me so well!

Thank you! Thank you! And thank you!

Good health is worth the cost

11/1/2020

This unit has kept my salon clean. This will be my third winter, and I’m glad to report no sinus infections, no colds, no flu. I think it may also help eliminate COVID in my workspace.

If you're interested, please use my link for your purchase. Expensive but it works! And good health is worth the cost!

Happy Fall from Darlene

10/15/2020

My husband and I been spending our free time on weekends driving around
enjoying the beauty of the area.
The color in the leaves are becoming more and more beautiful.

I encourage all of you to drive through
the backroads of Woodford Country and
see the beautiful countryside.
Maybe stop at Wallace Station,
grab a sandwich, and sit outside on a picnic table.

Send me a text and a picture. I'd love for you to share what you see!

A couple of reminders

9/25/2020

Please wear a disposable mask when
receiving hair coloring treatment.

Make sure your mask is well fitting,
completely covering your mouth and nose.
If you find your mask slipping a bit over your nose,
please try a piece of tape to secure in place.

Is it time for a cool change?

9/22/2020

Since fall is just around the corner,
why not tweak your hair cut or
get a few shiny color pieces?

Let's get your appointment on the books
as my fall schedule is filling up fast.

Updates from Darlene

9/3/2020

As many of you may know, I have intentionally not increased the prices for my salon services for several years.

Now, however, with upholding the increased demands in supplies and sanitation measures required by Covid as well as a result of an increase in supply costs from my distributors, I wanted to give you a heads-up that you will notice a slight increase in salon services.

What remains the same is the high quality of service and professionalism that you have grown to expect and love.

Prices have now been fully updated on my website and will go into effect September 15. I look forward to seeing you at your next appointment soon!

Have you tried the flex wet brush?

8/29/2020

I have these awesome brushes back in stock.

Pick yours up at your next visit.

Privacy & Safety in the Salon

8/16/2020

Visiting Darlene at the salon is a safe and private experience.

As we continue our safety standards,
you can rest assured our salon is cleaned between visits.
Each individual guest will have
sterilized supplies used for them only.

All of this to make sure your visit
to the salon is comfortable, safe, and pleasant for you.

Hair feeling dry? Brittle?

It's that time of the year when most of us struggle

5/28/2020

Thank you so much for following the procedures for your salon visit.

Just a few reminders to make sure we're both on the same page:

THE DAY BEFORE:

You should expect a text from me the day before your scheduled appointment.
If you do NOT hear from me, please contact me to confirm your appointment and to avoid any confusion.

AS YOU ARRIVE:

Please stay in your car upon arrival.
Text me (no calls please) to let me know you've arrived.
I will then text you to come in or I'll wave you in at the door.

ENTERING THE SALON:

Please make sure you are wearing your mask as you enter.
Walk directly back to the bathroom to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before entering my private room.
Your mask should be comfortable, and you should wear it for the duration of your visit.
The best mask fit is behind your ears.

I cannot wait to finally see you!

Need hair & skin products?

5/18/2020

If your inventory is running low on your hair and skin products,
