Giving Back is ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA!

Giving back, is as simple as it sounds, can be easy as volunteering your time and talents or donating to a cause.  Crazy thing is we find that by giving back we always gain more than we give!  

Our Salon has been selected to be an affiliate salon for Hello Gorgeous, a non-profit organization providing red-carpet makeovers to help restore the beauty cancer steals.  Today was our training day and tomorrow will be our first makeover.  I am so excited and humbled to be a part of such an amazing organization.  The stories I’ve read and heard about these Gorgeous Strong Women are life changing!  

Top 6 reasons you should Give Back!

  1. Make a Difference!  The cool thing about volunteering your time is that you get to choose where and how you make an impact.  Find a cause near and dear to your heart and find a way to help- you will love seeing your direct impact.
  2. Use your Expertise!  In the beauty biz we have so much to share- what better way than to volunteer in our community.  It is amazing the power helping someone feel better about themselves can do.  We are licensed to touch and help people feel and look beautiful.  Share your gift!
  3. Strengthen your Team/Community!   There is no better way to bond than to help someone in need.  Also, helping your community means a safer, higher quality of life for those around you.
  4. Improves your Health!  Yes!  Studies have shown volunteering is actually good for you.  It helps you feel better physically and lowers stress!
  5. Opens new Doors!  When you volunteer you can’t help but meet new people and grow your social network.  You never know who’s path you might cross or where this may lead you!  
  6. Feels Good!  Obvi!  But we thought it was worth mentioning!

Festive holiday makeup

Does your salon offer airbrush makeup? We just introduced it to our list of services and have been loving it!

Being a stylist for over 12 years has presented me with amazing opportunities I never imagined, which got me thinking... what else can I do in this industry!? Starting Flourish was definitely one of those bucket list items for me! Finding a way to connect with other stylists and share knowledge has been wonderful. However ther,e are a few more career goals on my current bucket list. Growing Flourish, increasing my success behind the chair, and taking classes from stylists I admire are just a few of those. So... what is on your career bucket list? Below are a few ideas to get you started: - Work on a TV/movie set - Have your work published in a magazine or online - Travel to do...
