Remembering Freshair Boutique staff from 20 years ago! 😂😘

20 years ago I was just finishing up hair school and was consumed with becoming a full time hair stylist like my colleagues. It was like being a ‘full time stylist’ was what everyone (that was serious) wanted to become.

As soon as you were out of hair school you would apply at a salon to do your apprenticeship. After 2 years of gruelling and mundane tasks, you get through and are now on the step of becoming a ‘full time stylist’! Making your own schedule and deciding on your pricing, were only some of the perks included with becoming a ‘full time stylist’. 20 years ago.

During the month of November I was challenged with how Remembrance Day gets glazed over. As veterans die, their history and traditions die as well. Remembering and memory, in my opinion, are beautiful luxuries that depend on our own history. I love reminiscing and I do my best to do it often. These photos of each of us at the salon are gentle reminders of where we were 20 years ago.

I really like to take this month to look back and see all the things that have transpired for the good and or the bad. Eventually some of us won’t have the ability to reminisce or recall a memory.

2020 will be the year where we can all share the same memory. We met and were devastated by your friend and mine (drum roll please) brrrrrrrruuuuuup! CORONA VIRUS!! (roaring applause). Please. We all hate her. We will all remember what corona did to us and did for us.

During this second lockdown, and as November comes to an end, I would like to say thank you to all of our clients and friends and family that have supported us so much. Thank you to everyone that shops online, you will not be forgotten. We really appreciate you all!

When we are back up and running, we can talk about all the things that happened to us and all the things that changed us and all the things that forged memories for us. Just think about what memories we can share when corona is behind us.

So in another 20 years from this day, remember to be kind to one another and be positive to humans when you see them. Encounters might not happen for a while.

Lastly, remember when we didn’t know what the word social distancing meant? 😏

We are into November now guys! Whoa! So what’s new with us? Well, I’m here to tell you. We have new art on the walls (about time!), our renovations are now complete (woot-woot!), the Eco-Boutique is up and running with our very own branded lotion and body wash! You need to come down and check out all the new changes!

With our city still moving in the area of uncertainty, we have decided to offer all our clients shopping times to utilize during your holiday shopping. As you know, supporting small shops like ours is a really sweet way to help out during the pandemic. Thank you in advance! We offer these times just to assure proper covid-19 protocol so please feel free to book a shopping time (you can do it online as well!). We have something for everyone!

nice art people!

So if you are coming in this month we are offering a rebooking promotion. What is that you may ask? Well, it’s a contest that you can enter to win free shampoo and conditioner for a year! All you need to do is book two appointments in January 2021 and you’re all set!

November also brings Cassy! She’s our new front desk gal and will be the one you chat with when you call. She just finished her hairstylist training in October and is looking forward to developing more of her skills here at our shop. Welcome her the next time you’re in and she’s in!

Cassy!

Before I dip out, let’s not forget to remember the ones before us that made all the things we enjoy today possible. A big thank you to all our Veterans and anyone who has served, we love you!
