Here's a note.  Short and sweet. Hi,

Don't forget to take some time for yourself right now.  Life is real crazy and sometimes we forget to take time.  It doesn't matter what you do or how you do it, just do it.

Hot Holidays! Are you setting off to a warmer climate this winter season?  Are you prepared for the changes that the heat will do to your hair and skin?  As you pack up your bikinis and sunscreen, make sure not to forget the products that protect your hair, skin and nails.  Leaving an extremely cold climate to an extreme warm one is lovely for your hair/skin/nails when you're on your way, but as you return??

Try a deep conditioner on the last few days of your hot holiday.  This will help prepare your hair for the impending cold.  Even your skin and nails could benefit from a moisture overhaul just before you board your plane back home.  Most hair products are available in travel size, and a bottle of cuticle oil can be brought along in your carry on!  The flight is great time to use cuticle oil, put in on and relax while you fly.  Make sure you pop in to the shop to pick up some products before you head out!  That's the fresh perspective...

WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE 2015 is here!  Resolutions, begin!  I'm amazed at how fast last year came and went.  What a trip!  I delivered a baby in 2014 and we expanded the shop in 2014.  I d-jayed (I dunno how to spell Dee-jay. Sorry) in a night club and took a train for the first time.  What's 2015 going to bring?  I do have a few tricks up my sleeve...  For me, 2015 will be the year of my big chop (again).

For all of the hairstyles I have tried, this one is new.  I'd like to be bald for just once in my life and 2015 will be the year I do so.  What are you going to try?  You get another year to do it all again.  Anything you regretted last year?  Anything you would like to try again?  2015 is new and fresh and just waiting for you to leave your mark on her.  Do you have what it takes?

Family Ties

Now that the holidays are pretty much here (my last day is the 23rd) family members and loved ones start to stream into the city in a steady trickle.  I'm sure there are many people headed to the airport this weekend.  Maybe you're picking up a family member, or getting away for the 25th, the airport is a buzz.  The city is alive and you can feel the energy in the atmosphere change.

Christmas is around the corner and my family and I enjoy it with a good dose of basketball.  I know it's bizarre but our family tradition does include a good dose of sports.  As 2014 comes to an end, I'm again reminded about how important my relatives are to me. We expanded our family by one this summer as well!  To be able to just unwind, rest, and love all these people makes me feel complete.   I'm excited, I'm grateful and I'm very happy.  Happy holidays to all of you from all of us!

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...
