Life as a Daymaker

I was in New Orleans a few weeks ago and had the opportunity to hear an amazing speaker, David Wagner. He is the author of "Life as a Daymaker" -how to change the world simply by making someone's day.

The definition of a Daymaker is a person who performs acts of kindness with the intention of making the world a better place.

His book inspires us to help make a difference in the world by being kinder to people. Whether we know them or not. Making other people feel cared for is the greatest power we have. Throughout his book he explains and gives examples of how to be a daymaker to your mate, your family, your friends, a stranger, and in the workplace. He does state that in order to make someone's day, you must make your own first.

David leads a revolution of inspired people who see the opportunity to change the world with this movement. While some lament the state of the world and fear what the future will bring, he sees a planet on the brink of transformation. He believes that the world has more good than bad and that each of us has the ability to make the good bigger, while shrinking the bad. Kindness can inspire others, diffuse anger, bring hope, heal pain, and change the world.

I personally believe and live this theory and have for a long time. I highly recommend this book.

Make someone's day today!

2010

New Years is my all time favorite holiday. It is a time of reflection and projection. And although I am not a fan of "resolutions", I do take the time to set annual goals.

Reflecting back on 2010, I am amazed at all the accomplishments that happened at the salon. 2010 was a giant year for education. More in-salon classes and opportunities took place than any other year. Industry icons like Elan Sassoon and Geno Stampora requested to visit Brown and DeLine. Our nail department learned and perfected the Shellac manicure (which is the all-time greatest service since pay-at-the pump gas). Our estheticians launched our new mineral make-up by Jane Iredale, which has been a great success. They also received advanced education with Glymed, our premier skin line. If you haven't experienced these products, you should. It's a miracle in a bottle.

In hair designing, we now offer Keratin Smoothing Treatments. This protein based treatment is a girls best friend! It eliminates frizz and creates ease in styling. 2010 also brought us back a few hair designers that had went on "sabbatical". I was elated when they returned.

Our front desk staff is more professional and committed than ever. Sara Ringer took our beauty on the outside theme to the all-time highest level ever! She tattooed the longitude and latitude of the salon on her arm! Talk about lifetime commitment! Love that!

Our theme for 2010 was beauty, health, and wellness inside and out. Our "go big or go home" mantra embraced this like no other! We held seminars on several nutrition topics taught by dietician and Joust Fitness owner Melissa Gerharter. Jodi facilitated a weight loss contest. Vikki and Kelli lost a tremendous amount of weight and are more fit than ever. Several 5Ks were run, and even a triathlon. Kat, who is half the size she once was, continues to inspire us with her low-fat cooking tips often posted on her facebook.

And now with the end of the year only two weeks away, we received the news that Brown and DeLine Salon is being honored and awarded at the Salon Today 200 awards. This prestigious award recognizes top salons for best business practices and growth. We will travel to Chicago in March for the event. What a great year!

We will be celebrating our year at Weber's Inn on January 15th at 8pm. Come celebrate with us!

Make it a Great Day!

Cathy.

It is not OK!

I find it very disturbing that in the year 2010 people feel it is OK to use racial slurs-always following with the statement "I didn't mean anything by it'.

Well, what exactly DID you mean? Why does it roll off your tongue so freely? Who taught you this? Why as an adult do you think it is OK?

It is NOT OK!

I feel sorry for these shallow and non-thinking people. So ignorant and classless.

Please help stop discrimination of all kinds.

The Perfect Dress

Finding the perfect dress makes or breaks any occasion. I think every girl will agree that when you have an important event on your calendar, the first question is "What am I going to wear?"

As a desperate dress seeker, I have driven hours to the nearest and farthest malls. I have searched the internet fiercely, even enrolling the help of Jessi and Sara, dying to find that one dress.

This perfect dress will totally set the stage for the night. It determines a girl's confidence, pride, happiness... it's the difference of feeling like a Queen, or not.

And yes, we must have the perfect accessories to go with. It all matters, hair, make-up, manicure, shoes, purse, jewelery. The pressure we put ourselves under!

But when we finally arrive at that one euphoric moment. The moment we put on that perfect dress, the moment we know "THIS IS THE ONE!"

It is that moment that makes girls and women of all ages twirl like Princess's!

Make it a Great Day!

Elan Sassoon Visits Brown and DeLine

On October 12, Brown and Deline staff had the opportunity to meet Elan Sassoon. During the informal yet entertaining hour, Elan spoke to the staff about his life growing up with his dad, Vidal Sassoon, his most recent venture of opening a cosmetology school in Boston and his current road tour promoting his new product line-Sojourn.

He spoke passionately about the history of the beauty industry. His goal is to see young career professionals graduate from school with more knowledge and respect of our predecesors and beautiful hard copy portfolios to show furture employers.

His charm and enthusiasm was revealed during his final words to the group. When asked what advice he would give new talent in order to be sucessful, he answered, "The designers who make the most money are the ones who are the most social'.

At the end of our visit, Elan shared with me what I could tell was his proudest accomplishment-his two children, a boy and a girl.

We look forward to his next visit.

Make it a great day!
