Amara's The Election Day Cut

This is Amara, who saw our offer of a free Election Day Cut.  She came in with her I Voted sticker and she made an appointment for her cut.  She was up for anything that I wanted to do (ahhh, love it).  She mentioned asymmetrical and that's what we did, short on one side and long on the other.  Amara works at the South Florida Museum in Bradenton, which is a wonderful place to visit and learn about the history of the Gulf Coast of Florida.  To see all that the museum offers go to www.southfloridamuseum.org.

Jan's New Perm

Jan just had a perm!  After I gave Jan her perm, I cut it and diffused it and she was good to go.  For hair that is fine and straight, a perm is the best solution.  At the little salon, we offer a very gentle perm by Organic Systems.  Of course a perm can not be completely organic, but Organic Systems makes one that is as close as you can get.  The curls always come out soft and natural looking, but firm enough to last until the hair grows out.  The unpleasant oder that a perm once had has also changed to one that is mild and non offensive.  

Film Night at the little salon

Film Night was a great success.  We had no less than 100 people in our parking lot in the back of the salon.  Thank you to everyone that came to support the creative efforts of stylist/film maker, Brian J Boyd.  We sent out an invitation via our "Cut of the Month" newsletter.  If you did not receive one we are very sorry, either we do not have your e-mail or if we have it, it is incorrect.  If you would like to receive the "Cut of the Month", call us, the number is 955.4691 or send an email to renee@thelittlesalon.com.

Put RoseMary Rising on your calendars.  It will be December 4th this year, from 5 to 9pm.  We look forward to seeing you here for a fun and wonderful kick off to RoseMary's Holiday Season!  There will be vendors, food, crafts and all of our shops will be open with specials on hand.

Models from our Training Workshop

These cuts were done by Alia and Kristin.  Alia is currently a student of cosmetology in Sarasota, as well as, part time receptionist/assistant here at the little salon.  Kristin is a color specialist in the salon and now, after many years of creating beautiful hair color, has the desire to cut hair.  I think the bug hit her after seeing all of the wonderful cuts that leave the little salon.  It is also very rewarding to create both the cut and color that work together for a client.  Once a month we hold a cutting workshop for our staff and other stylists in the area.  The workshops are taught by Melvyn Ainger, former creative director of Vidal Sassoon.  It will be a few months before both Alia and Kristin go on the floor as cutters, but by then they will both be extremely skilled entry level hair cutters.

Rachel

Rachel is a new client to the little salon.  She actually has very curly hair.  This cut can be worn either straight or curly.  We straightened Rachel's hair in this picture with a dryer and flatiron; it is temporary.  The cut is layered to encourage the curl on those day's that Rachel feels like she would like a different look.  Lucky girl to have the best of both worlds.

Sarah's Wedding Day

This is Sarah from Seattle.  She came all the way to sunny Sarasota to get married on the beach.   Her mom, Barbara,  lives here, so that was another reason to travel to Sarasota for her wedding day.  She was having a 60's style wedding, so the "flower in her hair" was a must.  She new just where she wanted it placed and we did it just that way!  We aim to please!  Small, small world we live in...in talking to Sarah....only two weeks earlier she had been a customer where my daughter works in Seattle and Lauren (my daughter) had waited on her.

Sarah's make up was done by Gabrielle at the little salon.

Amanda

Amanda has gone slightly shorter over the past few years, with a bit more layering.  I have also added low lights to her color, along with the blonde.  The lowlights are warm with a bit of dark copper to give the overall color depth.  Every time that Amanda comes in for her color and cut, about every 6 weeks, her daughter Harriet gets to go to a local salon and also have her hair cut.  Next time I have a feeling we will be seeing Harriet for her cut at the little salon.  Look for an upcoming photo of mom and daughter together. 

Amanda is a member of the Bradentucky Bombers.  For more information and a schedule go to www.bradentuckybombers.com.
