A Heartfelt Farewell


Retirement Notice for June 2nd, 2025


Dear Valued Clients and Friends,

After more than five decades of doing what I love…including the past 13 years here in North Carolina…I’ve made the decision to retire on my upcoming 78th birthday.  While my passion for hairstyling and connecting with all of you remains as strong as ever, I’m listening to my body’s wisdom that it’s time for a new chapter in my life.

Throughout the years, you’ve been so much more than clients; you’ve become dear friends who have shared your lives, families, joys, and challenges with me. I’ve had the privilege of being part of your special moments…from weddings and proms to new beginnings and celebrations. Each of you has contributed to making my career not just a profession, but a true calling.

The memories we’ve created; the laughter (and sometimes tears) we've shared, in this salon will forever hold a special place in my heart. Your trust in my skills, the wonderful conversations, and your loyal support have meant the world to me. While I’m not entirely sure what the future holds, I’m excited to embrace this new phase of life with the same enthusiasm I’ve brought to my work each day.

My lease says I must be out of the studio by May 31st, which means not only moved out, but the place put back as I found it 10 years ago. That means my last day of being your stylist must be on May 24th (10 more weeks)!!! Lots of work ahead...

I'm hoping you will allow me to introduce you to a stylist that I have checked out and am confident she can deliver for both my female and male clientele. Maybe this connection will take a little stress off of finding another who could deliver the standard you have become so accustomed to. She may even surpass it. ✨ 

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for allowing me to be your stylist and for enriching my life in countless ways. I will miss you all.

With deep gratitude and appreciation,

 

Mary

P.S.
Be watching for some deep savings on all retail…starting April 15th. I won’t be ordering any more retail, so grab what you currently use to stock up!

Fall's Hair Care Guide

Too much summer fun takes a toll on chemically treated hair. Heading into the “dry” season, it’s time to call in the big guns! Read below for tips on how to get your hair back to shining and building strength! Autumn brings cold, dry air that can make your hair brittle, frizzy, and hard to manage. But no need to worry, I got you! Below are seven hair care tips for fall weather that will ensure your hair remains healthy and beautiful all through the season. 1) Schedule a hot oil treatment and a hair cut. Summer repair time! You’ve had fun in the sun, now it’s time to get cozy with indoor time, where humidity is at an all time low.

We’ll cap the hair to protect and advance the prescription, then grab the roller ball dryer and position you under it. Once it’s done it’s job, out you come to let the hair cool down for 5-10 minutes, rinse, then proceed...

FIVE THINGS YOU SHOULD DISCUSS WITH YOUR HAIRSTYLIST I get it! It can be just a bit scary when you finally decide on that new hair stylist. You’ve stopped people in the street, in the department stores, at church, at work, basically anywhere you’ve noticed a great look on someone, and asked them, “Who does your hair?” Still, your mind wanders as your adrenaline races up and down your body, playing tag with the neurons in your brain.Will the new guy (or gal) understand what you are wanting? Will they really listen? Let’s just head on over to the reason you are reading this post. Here are 5 things you should discuss in a consultation with any stylist about to put their hands in your hair. 1) Because we are artistic by nature, we often times seem to speak a different language. A good stylist will always explain anything you don’t quite understand. Don’t be afraid to ask. It would be helpful if you knew the differences between balayage and baby lights, but you shouldn’t have to. Again, a g...

Naturally Thinning Hair

Image
It has become the biggest topic in my salon, with female age ranges from 35 years to 60 years. There are so many reasons hair becomes thinner than what it was in our teen years, and even in our 20’s. If you feel something else is happening besides aging, speak with your family doctor. But the main cause is simply age. And here is why… Just like the aging process in the rest of our body, our hair begins a decline in reproduction. We lose approximately 150-200 hairs per day. Yikes! I know that’s a pretty scary number, but if one only knew just how many hairs were actually coming out of the scalp, one would be amazed. Sorry, ladies and gents. It’s simply the truth of the matter. And I’m pretty sure you already know this. But just for the sake of making it obvious, let’s examine what happens as the years of becoming mature, do to our hair. To our reproductive cycle in the scalp. 1) Since the hair follicles are structures in the scalp and skin that help hair grow, as we age, the hair follic...
