Hello everyone,
It seems to me that, with all the big industry lay-offs, that a lot of folks are looking to reinvent themselves. I think that is great news. I am hoping that people want to become hairstylists, makeup artists, manicurists and estheticians. The “makeover” shows have done a lot to promote our industry, a very good thing indeed, considering that we sometimes feel demoralized (more on that later on).
Hi, Voula Here:
Coloring your hair can be a big step, particularly if you’ll be lightening or darkening your hair more than a shade or two. While hair coloring can be done successfully at home, it carries with it a certain degree of stress and headache. There are so many factors to consider from selecting the proper shade, selecting the right products, to using them effectively. Sometimes you need the help of a professional hair colorist to get the results you want without falling victim to a “bad dye job.” If you need professional consultation before taking the big step, here’s how to find the right hair colorist:
Hello everyone,
Hair loss is a big problem with our clients in the salon nowadays. Most complain about how thin their hair seems to be. Lifeless hair, no body, lack of shine and of course, male pattern baldness. I freely give advice when asked, I tell most of my clients to up their water intake to about 3 liters a day, get on a vitamin/supplement regime, sleep more and exercise. Just that little bit of advice can stimulate the hair follicle and can regenerate the hair and scalp. But lets face some hard facts: environmental pollutants take a toll on our bodies, our air and food is often times toxic, genetics also plays a leading role in hair loss, and lets not forget our diet: rich in saturated fats and preservatives thanks to the greedy food industry that tries hard to brainwash us into eating more and more garbage. All those and more are factors of hair loss and thinning hair. Please don’t get me started on what STRESS can do to your hair and system over all.
Hello everyone,
The town is anxiously awaiting the inauguration of a new president ,the visitors are due to arrive any minute(4 million of them), and the economy is still in shambles. We need a………miracle. As i watched the footage of that airplane crashing into the Hudson River yesterday,as the passengers were saved and accounted for,I prayed that God will save our country and our economy as he saved those passengers on the plane.
DO YOU THINK OUR NEW PRESIDENT CAN BE LIKE THAT BRAVE PILOT ON THAT PLANE ?
Can our new president help us? Can he steer our country into safety? Is it fair to expect so much from him? Do you think that it was the pilots training that saved those passengers or was it the steering hand of God? I dont have the answers,but I am so glad for the outcome. I want to be saved ,its in my hard drive as a woman.Tired of being afraid,exhausted at keeping on top of my game,sad at hearing my friends and clients losing jobs and homes.The only thing , other than HOPE, that keeps me from breaking down is that:CHILDREN ARE WATCHING.
Thats right,our children are watching us.Very closely.They know something is wrong.My son ,until a few months ago ,thought the word:HOBO was funny.Not any more.He heard a little girl cry at school because her parents were being evicted.He looked up HOMELESS in the dictionary and that took care of the hobo word not being funny anymore. I sure hope this new president can save the day,its wrong to expect so much from him but……
MR PRESIDENT:DO SOMETHING SOON,THE CHILDREN ARE WATCHING.
That is all I have to say.Its so cold outside and Iam grateful to be inside and warm,kinda like those other survivors:GRATEFUL and waiting for a MIRACLE.

Prepare For a Night On the Town
What an exciting time to live in Washington, D.C. Everyone is buzzing about the Inauguration. How much traffic will there be? What bridges and highways are closed? Is Oprah really having a star-studded event at the Kennedy Center? Will I be able to get into work that week with the millions of people coming into town?
The Inaugural parties are the best part of the evening. You get to dress up in your beautiful party dresses and head into the city to celebrate one of the most historic moments in history. For those of you lucky enough to have a ticket to a ball, it’s all about the hairstyles to compliment the dress!
Miracles will be open and ready to take care of your Inaugural needs.

Hi, Voula Here:
It’s time to roll out the blue carpet ladies and gentlemen. An inaugural season is to Washington what the Oscars are to Hollywood and Fashion week to New York City—except that an inauguration happens once every four years.
It’s a fabulous time to be out and about with all the great events and festivities around town. Don’t sit at home and watch history happen. Go out and do something and be APART OF HISTORY. Here is a great place to start looking for interesting things to do in January in honor of the Inauguration.
Hi, Voula Here:
This seasons clothing styles for women are sophisticated and come in elegant jewel tones. Shades of gray are also popular and of course, black is always fashionable. The trends of today are a nod toward yesterday, inspired by classic feminine looks. It’s all about the waist this season. Think about belts and ways to elongate the torso (a better bra, lower cut pants, separates).
