Sunday. The staff all traveled together to Bellevue to attend "Undressed; Creativity Exposed." Sponsored by Maly's, this all-day exhibition by the top names in the salon industry focused on the power of inspiration. As usual, our staff was clearly the most interactive group in attendance, as well as the last to leave. They are all excited about their new knowledge and extremely anxious to apply it.

A photo shoot is scheduled for Thursday, 20 August. The exact time is yet to be determined, but it will likely be in the early afternoon. All photos will be composed by Julie Watts, an incredible photographer and artist. View a sample of Julie's work by clicking here.
The Stylists will be asking many of their clients to support their salon by volunteering their modeling skills.
The photos will be used to improve this web site by letting people see exactly what is possible at this amazing small-town salon.

It happened on Monday - their day off. The entire staff attended an in-salon Advanced Color Techniques class taught by Redken educator Mandy McCullough.
As always, the stylists are all very excited about increasing their skill level and efficiency in order to better serve their clients.
Special thanks to Mandy for her "professionalism with fun" approach to education.

Lynn received her all-important letter from Redken. She is now a Redken Certified Haircolorist (and is also much easier to live with).
Harbor Hair Design may have just become the only salon in Washington State with TWO Redken Certified Haircolorists on-site. The time that Lynn and Sue invested in this program not only allowed them to attain this prestigious title; it also allows them to better serve their clients.
The art and science of Hair Coloring is all about predictable results, and the stylists at Harbor Hair Design have proven to be much better than the average salon in this area. They routinely perform color correction on clients who had recently received a less than acceptable coloring at far more "distinguished" salons within the Seattle metropolitan area.
Put quite simply: Hair coloring at Harbor Hair Design is as good as it gets.

Lynn returned from another trip to the Redken Exchange in NYC. This time, she has a high degree of confidence that she scored very well on her exam. Lynn will be officially notified of her results for another 8 weeks. Harbor Hair Design will likely soon have two Redken Certified Haircolorists.

Lynn has just returned from the Redken Symposium in Las Vegas. The occasion was heralded as: “The industry's most exciting, inspiring, award-winning educational event!” This year’s Symposium was held at the Mandalay Bay Resort.
While there, Lynn’s schedule was extremely full. During the two busy days, she attended advanced classes in Color correction, Custom Color, Blonding Techniques, Expanding the Creative Comfort Zone, Space Utilization and Elevating Customer Service.
Lynn came back with a renewed exuberance for her profession and with a wealth of information, which she will be very actively sharing with all of her fellow stylists.
Many thanks to Redken for providing such a high quality educational experience, and also for its continuing superior support of the independent salon industry.

Lynn and Dave lost Beamer, one of their two precious Airedale Terriers, to cancer. Beamer served as the salon mascot during his early puppy training. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Ridgetop Animal Hospital and our many friends for helping us through this difficult time, View Beamer's obituary by clicking here.

Lynn's new web site goes live with her husband, Dave, as the author/editor and administrator. Many thanks to Jeremy Moff at Moff Interactive for putting this all together and making the site so easy to edit and maintain. The whole experience was very enjoyable Future plans include the addition of a Frequently Asked Questions page to assist you in making the best decisions for maintaining your healthy hair.
2008
2008 was a great year. Sue became Kitsap Peninsula's first Redken Certified Haircolorist. Lynn will complete her certification in March of 2009. Through very active sharing of information, all of our stylists are now highly trained on the entire Redken product line. Lynn has made the decision to concentrate mainly on one line in order to enable the most predictable outcomes. Redken provides Lynn with high quality education and excellent support.
Lynn also made the decision to concentrate solely on what she knows best... your hair! She will not be offering nail services in the future. Her esthetician room has been forever converted into a lunch/break room for all of the deserving stylists. Basic facial waxing services are still being offered for your convenience.
