Hi! My name is Amy Tanner and I am a self-employed cosmetologist. I have been in the hair industry for almost 15 years. I work in a small setting with a dear friend, we met in hair school. We were the two of the oldest students that were enrolled at the time. Amazing how when you go back to school, many years after high school, your grades and determination to be top of the class are your focus! Any who, I have learned so much outside of the classroom and love what I do.

My clients are not just friends and family, but they are FAMILY! They have been with me thru thick and thin. In December, 2017 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My clients were amazing! They were patient with my appointment changes, schedule changes and my time off. In April 2018, I had surgery number 2. Four months later, I had surgery number 3. I ended up having a surgery every 4 months through October 2019. Nine procedures later, my clients stuck with me. I cannot tell you how amazing that is. The stress of surgeries and wondering if I would lose client, was a heavy burden. But thankfully the hung on and waited. Just as things were getting back to normal, COVID struck and I was shut down for almost 9 weeks. Again, my clients were patient and understanding with all the changes with the closure. So to say I have a cool customer story, I have a cool story about ALL of my customers!

I am excited to be a part of this group. I have enjoyed being a part of a couple groups and adding this one is a bonus! 😁

Welcome to the group, @hairbyamy, and thank you for sharing that with us. The fact that your clients are so loyal speaks volumes about you as a business owner and, more importantly, a person. Glad to have you here! I hope that things are going much better for you. ❤️

Hi! I'm a mobile hairstylist in Ontario, Canada. I go to my clients' homes to do cuts, colours, perms, etc. Most of my clientelle is seniors with mobility issues and moms with kids at home, so they can send the kids to the next room while they wait for their turn for a haircut. It's a lot of equipment to bring with me all the time, so I'm not sure how long I'll physically be able to do this, but I feel so good about helping people that couldn't otherwise have their hair done at all.

Welcome to the group and to Square! 😁👋

Re: Welcome to the Beauty and Wellness Group!

AdamB — Sun, 25 Jul 2021 16:28:07 GMT

I bet people love being able to get their hair done at home! I imagine that does involve bringing quite a lot around with you. Maybe you could make a new post to the group, describe your current mobile setup, and for thoughts on how to streamline it or make it more mobile-friendly?

Hello from ROLWAIHC

rolwa1 — Sun, 25 Jul 2021 17:23:55 GMT

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Sherene and the owner of Rivers of Living Water Acupuncture and Integrative Health Center. I specialize in homeopathic remedies, the auricular therapy (aka ear seeds) and acupuncture, just to name a few! Feel free to drop me a line and would love to hear from you and to get to know the members in the Beauty and Wellness hub!!

Re: Hello from ROLWAIHC

AdamB — Sun, 25 Jul 2021 17:41:45 GMT

Welcome to the group and thank you for introducing yourself, @rolwa1!

I hadn't heard of auricular therapy before, so I just checked - super interesting that ear stimulation was shown in one study to release endorphins. The human body is a truly fascinating system. 🧠👂

Re: Hello from ROLWAIHC

rolwa1 — Sun, 25 Jul 2021 17:52:35 GMT

Yes, it is amazing!! Who would have thought that one of the smallest member of the body could produce great effects in the every area of the body. Yes, I agree the human body is fascinating.

Hi everyone! My name is Jess and I have a hair studio (Jess Poynter Style) just north of Seattle, WA.
I had a VERY roundabout way of getting into the beauty industry, but now I can't imagine my life any other way! I just recently (Mar 2020) moved my life from CA to WA, and what a transition it was! But, once again, it just feels so right up here!

I have to say, I can't really talk about one cool client because I truthfully love ALL of the clients I've gained up here. It really feels like I'm just hanging out with friends all day at work. However, I think one of the things I love about this industry is our ability to connect with people through various phases of life. I'm still getting notes from my former clients back in CA! Love this industry!

In terms of awesome service or product, I have to say I love my Goldwell color! I'm a self-proclaimed hair nerd and the amount of science and technology that Goldwell puts into their color and lighteners is fascinating. The fact that now, though, I have clients telling me their hair has never felt better makes this career all the more exciting!

I can't wait to connect with more of you on here, especially you estheticians! I'm fascinated by skincare and new procedures!
