Long, longer, longest... We are now offering Hotheads extensions at the shop now folks!  Extensions are a fun way to change-up your look!  The specific brand we are promoting right now is ultra gentle, easy to take in and out, and won't keep you at the shop for 6 hours!

Listen to this!  From now, till the end of the year, we will take up to $100 off the service so you can have a try.  The hair comes in 4 different lengths and is 100% Human Remy hair.  You can use them for up to a year and they come in pretty much every possible color.  There is an option for us ladies that have course thick hair as well.

One of our stylists had them in for two weeks because she wanted super long hair for a wedding she was in.  They looked great and held curl better than her own hair.  That's another benefit to extensions.  They can hold a curl better than the hair that grows out of your head for the most part.  They are a bit of an investment up front, but because they last a year, you can use them again and again.

We would love for any of you to try them.  What you need to do is to book a consult first so that we can pick a shade that is best suited to you.  On the day of the consult, we would book your appointment, it's a quick installation (under 3 hours) and boom!  Your hairs are longer!  This is a great deal for anyone who is curious or interested in trying something a little longer.  Book a consult and see if Hotheads could work for you!  Just ask to see Olivia, she's the lady with the goods!  That's the fresh perspective...

Winter is coming We're almost there folks.  Almost submerged in the freezer-like winter.  What have you done to prepare yourself for this?  Did you pull out all your winter clothes?  Did you dig out that toque?  I have just purchased some waterproof winter gloves.  This is different for me  because I'm a leather glove kinda lady.  Apart from being a leather glove kinda lady, I also loathe the cold.  The leather, simply isn't cutting it anymore.  It isn't warm enough and they stiffen in the extreme cold.

While we are all going to be thinking of ways to keep our bodies warm while looking stylish in a parka, let us not forget about our hair, skin, and nails.  The temperatures we're about to face can be really damaging to our hair, skin, and nails trio.  Are you prepared?  Got your cuticle oil already? How about a hair treatment to do every two weeks while the snow falls?  Maybe a once a month scrub down with a body scrub?  Don't forget about our trio being exposed to the temperatures and winds.  Prepare yourself.  Get ready.  That's the fresh perspective...

The fresh perspective is now going to be  a place where I can get on my soapbox a little bit and tell you all how I really feel.  Is this a good idea?  I am very passionate about a lot of things.   If I feel like sounding off about how much 'stuff' we consume, or how I think that face tattoos are a joke, I may offend some people.

I do not mean to offend.  I realize that my opinions are my own and I'm very aware that they may not be popular.  I will say, I find it hard to dispute that any person with a face tattoo CANNOT be taken seriously.**  I'm a little old school and prefer paper cards over e-cards, and I think hair is meant to be changed (it grows back so no worries right).

In light of all the changes we've been going through, I'd like to change things up. TFP started out as a review thing, then a 'favorites' thing, and now it's a soapbox?  Here we go!  That's the fresh perspective...

**If your face is tatted.... I'm sorry.

A poem for your thoughts

If

If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and not make dreams your master; If you can think---and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same:. If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings---nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much: If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!

Rudyard Kipling

Middle times Are you in a hair rut?  Same cut, same color, same/same/same?  The time is now to make some changes to your lovely locks.  November is here.  The cold is looming.  Maybe a few good inches off your length will take care of the dry bits you ombréd all summer.  That length you've been dragging around for months may need a pick me up coming into the winter season.

A hot length this winter is the mid-length.  Kinda long, kinda thick and kinda blunt.  This middle length is good for scarves and will perk up any winter hat.  Think about it.  You wanna try it, you know who you are.  That's the fresh perspective...

**Be sure to stock up on leave-ins and treatments this month.  Start protecting your hair now, before it's too frigid.**

The Freshest Ladies The salon has went through, and is going through, changes.  We have expanded, I had a baby, we'll be hiring for two positions... It's been a while since I had posted anything and it's funny how much I missed writing.

There was so much that I thought I would want to say for this first entry back, but I think I just want to thank the ladies I work with.  They have all played a very important role in their own ways during the past two months.

I'm grateful that I work with women who understand the type of business I want to run and they do what they can to enhance the experience for all the clients.  I appreciate each and every one of these ladies and I know that all the goodness and changes that Freshair Boutique has went through wouldn't have been possible without these 7 ladies.

Christie, **Chloe, Amy, **Heather, Andrée, **Tessa and **Olivia, thanks girls!  That's the fresh perspective...
