Hey y’all! I am officially back behind the chair in my babe cave, and honestly it’s weird, it’s hot 😅 it’s uncomfortable. I have smacked myself in my shield a million times trying to get hair off my face lol!! Our regulations and guidelines are 13 pages of anxiety. I am doing all I can right now and trying to accommodate as many of you as I can. My assistant and I are working like crazy to assist all of our 2020 brides becoming 2021, welcoming 2021 brides for the first time, trying to support our 2020 gals who are holding on to hope they will have their special day! Our hearts are heavy. As of now July 3rd we are not legally allowed to perform makeup services which is horrific for us and our brides. We are patiently awaiting guidance and answers from NY. But realistically until masks are no longer needed we don’t see how we can offer these services. Thank you to all our brides and clients who have been so kind and supporting during this time. Thank you for sending All your new paperwork so quickly. Thank you for choosing us. Thank you for trusting us. We are so very grateful for you all. Please be kind and patient 🥰 I promise you we are doing everything as fast as possible. Hoping to be in bridal suites full of smiling unmasked faces celebrating you all soon ❤️

Today marks the 10 year anniversary of Salon 52, never did I think I would be celebrating at home, but I am! I am celebrating all the incredible people who have come through the doors, sat in my chair and given me a purpose. The incredible stylists who have created magic here over the years. Salon 52 has given me a place to be myself,create, love and receive love. Taught me lessons and filled me with strength. I’ve been able to help people in dark days and celebrate with them in light. I find myself celebrating what’s to come because it will...cheers to you salon 52 and cheers to the future you will have - let the hairspray fly ❤️ to all my people thank you from the bottom of my heart. We are still unsure of an open date, I know brides that are holding on to 2020 wedding dates need trials, I know 2021 brides wanna meet us before booking, I know your roots are terrible and you are desperate please know I think of you all every day, I miss your stories in my chair I miss your love. I can’t wait to be back with you all again and catch up! In such uncertain times be kind, spread love I’ll be here when it’s time with an open chair and heart❤️
During this uneasy time! I’m keeping busy chasing my babies around all day and I must say I’m really loving this time home with them! But also trying to be work productive the best I can! Being a mom and running a business is the most difficult balance for me! 🙈 I’ve taken a few hours each day to earn another certification im feeling quite grateful to get the time to take these courses ❤️ Missing you all and counting down the seconds I can get back to curling cutting and coloring 🤸♂️🙌Ohhhhh how my heart explodes looking back at this experience. Having the opportunity to attend Senadas master class was such a blessing! 💕 She is my Bridal idol, unbelievable at her craft, creative, innovative and purely inspiring. First off I got to have this experience with my best gal and favorite partner to do hair with Lindsay Baxter. As working moms who are so busy we don’t know what day it is, we were pumped to spend a night snuggling snacking and laughing! We had the best time getting ready for the class and walked downstairs of the convention center and who do we find the lovely brittany Weiss! Here we all stood 3 of the top bridal artists in the hudson valley ready to take our 8 hour course! The doors open and we couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by the incredible setup and presentation Senada and her team put together. We sat in awe watching,taking notes asking questions -front row! Number one fans! Glued to her every word. This was Extremely validating as a stylist business owner. I felt reassured my techniques and methods were on point with the best in the industry. Something I love most about Senada is that her sister is a makeup artist and they work hand and hand just like heather and I. Senadas high glam styles are simply breath taking. We got the best swag bags and got to shop goodies @kangaco had the best tool belt I’ve ever got my hands on (yes I bought 2) 👏 Having this Experience with Lindsay And brittany was so amazing and I feel truly blessed to have these women to support me and cheer me on! Coming home feeling refreshed and ready for the new season!
