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.

Facial Hair Removal Services

At this time in the salon, I am only comfortable shaping eyebrows.

I am currently booked so far in advance that
I am not taking any new clients at this time.

For my regular guests, I am booking the week of June 21 and onward.

If you have any questions, please text me.

I'm looking forward to seeing you!

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,
please let me know in advance of your scheduled appointment.

Checking in on You

4/21/2020

I want to encourage you to stay in touch!

Please email me, call, or text if you have
any personal questions about your hair care.

I'm right here. Miss you!

Oh, how I miss you!

4/6/2020

I miss working with my friends and seeing all of your smiling faces and listening to your stories as we share life together. What a treasure you are to me personally and professionally.

While I’m away from work, I'm also counting my blessings and staying busy. I love spending quality time with my family. My husband Chuck and I have used our time to unpack boxes from our move, sort, and prioritize items. We are ever so grateful that Chuck continues to work remotely as this relieves considerable stress from our lack of salon income.

Each day, we are enjoying our farm and have found delight in living a bit away from the hustle and bustle of "town." Everything is coming to life out here. Surprises in the yard are erupting everywhere. It's a treat for my soul!

I’m thankful and I pray for healing of our country. I lift up our leaders to continue to make good and sound decisions for all of us. I pray for our good health. I trust that blessings will come out of this for each and every one on of us.

We’ll certainly be very busy in the salon when we get our doors open. Please stay in touch until then. Drop me a text or an email. I'd love to hear from you!

How to Wash & Condition Your Hair

3/27/2020

Something so simple, I took for granted! These 2 easy steps are not always known, so let's go!

Step 1 CLEANSE
Wet your hair. Place about a quarter-sized dollop of shampoo onto your hands, rubbing together. Massage into your scalp only. Let water rinse the shampoo through the rest of your hair rinsing it all clean.

Step 2 CONDITION
Gently squeeze the water from your hair or use a hand towel to dry for best effect. Using just a small amount of conditioner (about the size of a dime), gently glide hair repeatedly through "praying" hands applying the conditioner to your hair from your ears down. Work through your hair with a Flex Brush. Leave on for 4-5 minutes. Rinse with cool water.

And that's it!

Although my salon is currently closed per state mandate, please stay in touch!

Important Update from Darlene at South Hill Salon

all salons will be closed.

to keep you looking your best while salons are closed,

God's blessings to you and your families!

A Letter from Darlene at South Hill Salon

3/16/2020

Dear Clients,

I wanted to touch base with you to let you know that I am well, and I am taking extra precautions daily at the salon in the areas of cleanliness and sanitation. My doors are open if you are well and would like to get a new appointment on the books or plan to keep your already scheduled appointment.

On the other hand, if you are sick or have been around someone sick, if you are coughing with upper respiratory illness, flu-like symptoms, fever, or anything shareable, please postpone your visit to South Hill Salon.

And no worries! Just give me a call or send me a text, and we can easily move your appointment time forward to a few weeks down the road.

Many blessings to you and your families during this time, and I look forward to serving you soon!
