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!

Dreams
On Oct 3rd Brown and DeLine Salon attended Dreams, a benefit for the American Cancer Society. This event features the Tiffany Hairdresser of the Year Awards.
This event is often described as the ‘Oscars’ for the local beauty industry.
It was an exciting night kicking off with a cocktail reception. Then the grand opening performance with loud pounding music as we watched our own Jackie Gallinat and Victoria Benham showcase their model collections. They were phenomenal!
Next came Larry Gaynor, President and CEO of TNG Worldwide, the producer of the show. He announced all the finalists and the winners in each category. It was a proud moment when he announced Becky Blaha- Avant Garde finalist, Victoria Benham-Avant Garde finalist and Jackie Gallinat-Color finalist. The photos of their work projected on stage were magnificent! It was amazing.
The venue was Andiamo’s restaurant in Warren, Michigan. There were about 500 salon professionals attending. Andiamo’s did a great job hosting the event. Dinner was sensational.
The best part of the night was when our Brown and DeLine Team was recognized and awarded in the salon team segment of the competition. We had worked hard on our collection. Even though only Kristy Williams, Vikki Benham and my names were listed as the creators, it took the whole team collectively to win!
Our technical and creative skills combined with our motivation and commitment to excellence truly paid off that night!
At the end of the evening, we headed back to Ann Arbor, happy with our successes and appreciative that we had a driver. We celebrated and collaborated about next year’s event.
I believe everyone who competes in any contest is a winner!
