Strands Hair Studio by Shirley G.


COIF MODE: Strands News Brief Issue 4 *Message from Shirley G.* Hello Everyone! Wow, 2014 is moving by quickly. I do hope that all of you had a great start to this new year and that all is going well. This winter has been "showing off" -- with all the snow we have been getting. I do believe I am ready for Spring. How about you? FYI, we have made some changes to the layout/format of our newsletter. I hope you find it exciting and interesting. It will still cover similar topics, and of course it will still include Strands Specials. While my schedule is sometimes very hectic, I deeply care about keeping you informed and updated. In addition to this newsletter, please remember to frequently checkout our website: www.strandsstudios.com. Our website is updated weekly and has a lot of great news, pics, care tips, and a link to my Blog. Also, feel free to call the salon and speak to Linda if you have any questions and/or concerns. She will be delighted to assist you. Lastly, I wanted to share my beauty aspirations. My goal is to enhance your natural beauty, and my passion for beauty extends far beyond styling hair. I aim to inspire women of all ages and color to embrace their overall beauty, and I believe this starts with their "inner beauty". After all, it is the inside components that must shine outwardly to achieve true beauty. Have a beautiful & blessed day.

Best Beauty Advice From Women Over 40 Shirley Gordon gives her tips, advice and must-have products with Refinery 29 Editor Holly Thomas. Tell us a little about your beauty routine. “Morning and night, I cleanse and use a tonic lotion. Then I use an eye cream and a moisturizer. Right now, I’m loving this brand out of Switzerland called Cellcosmet. That’s what I’ve been using for the last couple years. I usually put on a Tom Ford primer every morning before I put on my makeup.” What do you do when you first wake up in the morning? How do you get to this amazing finished look? “When I first wake up in the morning, it doesn’t look like this! I cleanse, and use my Clarisonic — I can’t live without that because it really helps with the dryness on my forehead. Then I’ll use the tonic lotion, then eye cream, and moisturizer.” Read Full Article
