Them: how is retirement from hair going?
Me:

Hi 👋🏼

In case you're worried about me being bored, rest assured you don't need to worry 💕 I just wanted to tell you I've been to the Sango salon every single day except Wednesday this week for various reasons and Warfield twice. I haven't even had a chance to watch this week's episode of Dancing With The Stars yet. I did, however, get to see the release of The Life of a Showgirl, so not all is lost. I was also working on a video for you, but I also accidentally drowned my phone this week. So stay tuned to see if I'm able to recover it.

The content y'all really want 😏

This may be too niche but IYKYK 🧡

Since y'all apparently don't want any more hair content from me... Is this better??

Dawn McCloud Fields brought me gifts to her appointment today 🥹 I have the best clients... sorry about the abandonment thing

The hair I never posted, part 1 😆

A few edited, but most not. If I took pictures of your hair and didn't post them, it's most likely because the lighting wasn't cooperating. Or I just never got around to editing. Or I just wasn't posting at all because I was fully booked. But I need to clear up some space in my phone and I cannot be bothered to edit so many photos 🤣

Check out my stories over the next few weeks as I post any last minute availability. I can get in one color or cut tomorrow, Tuesday 8/19! Message to book 🥰

I have some bittersweet news to share. I'm just going to rip the bandaid off:

September 27 will be my last day doing hair.

If this seems abrupt, it's because it kind of is. Although, to be fair, I did tell most of my clients that opening the Warfield salon was my retirement plan... 🤣

My plan for quite a while has been to drop down to 2 days per week. But recently, I've really just been wanting to be done entirely, and I feel so much relief with this decision.

It's no secret that I don't exactly love doing hair 😅 But it's even more so the physical difficulties that have pushed me to this decision. I've had tendonitis in both of my wrists for several years now. I think I have also developed it in my left elbow and left knee. Not to mention the issues I've had with my hips for over a decade and the back pain I now have regularly. My body is telling me it's time to walk away, and I'm going to listen. These problems will continue to worsen if I keep going. Appreciate your hairstylists, because I promise you they are in pain 😅

I do still have some openings in August and September. My online booking is turned off, so you'll have to message me if you'd like to book. But please be patient and give me some time to reply!

Thank you for everything 🩷 For supporting me as your hairstylist for the past four years (or for some of you, even way back before then!), for referrals, for following me through a few salon moves, for the gifts and treats you have brought to me, and for being a friend. A coworker once asked me how I found so many high quality clients. I have the best clientele, and I appreciate you all! I'll miss seeing you as often as I do now!

I would love to refer you to your next stylist! I have a whole crew these days 😉 I have several talented stylists between two salon suite locations who would love to take care of you. They all have different specialities, and I'd be more than happy to recommend one who I think would be the best fit for you. And don't worry- I'll send very detailed notes about what I do with your hair. 🩷

Every once in a while I am impressed at how things turn out 🤭

2.5 hours from start to finish & no bleach used 🪄

We were just aiming to remove the old peachy color from her ends and tone her blonde to get it ready for her other hairstylist to add some dimension back to it later! We share the love at Pamper Salon & Spa Suites - Sango 🥰
