The Mane Attraction

Star Bunny Studio 2013


It is something every human has in common. Hair. 
Be it long, short, thin, or thick we all have a unique relationship with our locks. 
What is it that makes our hair such a BIG deal? 
There is an undeniable psychology to hair. It is a non verbal indicator that can tell 
a lot about the health, personality, and lifestyle of a person.

 Confession time - I am going to get personal with you.
I have not cut my hair in YEARS. I had a bad experience getting a "Trim" at a cheap hair 
cutting place in a strip mall and ever since, I have been afraid to mess with my mane.
I learned to french braid and that was my way of dealing with these long locks. 
However, my hair was taking over. 
After yet another summer in the sun my head was full of split ends and broken pieces.
No amount of fancy hair product or conditioner could fix my frizzed mane.
 Worse yet, I felt like cousin-it from the Adams family!

My hair was around 19 inches long. Long hair works well with tall people - but, I am not tall.
I am 5' 4" and my hair length was disproportionate to the rest of my body.
I had to do something to tame the mane.

I had about half a foot of hair was cut off! 
I was a little sad looking at all my old locks on the salon floor. 
After my hair was blown dry and styled I was thankful I found Amber

After moving from the DC area to the little town of Front Royal, Virginia 
I was hesitant to try something new. However, a "Hair Spa" was just what I needed.

The first thing I noticed as I entered the was how clean everything was. 
I was greeted with a nice welcome and offered a choice of beverages to sip on while I waited.

I received a large mug of hot coffee and looked through a few pages of a 
current fashion magazine, while I sat on a comfy couch near a large bay window.

My haircut started with a consultation. Then my hair was given a shampoo. 
While the conditioner soaked into my hair I received a relaxing head massage. 
This was a great treat! The massage really helped to relieved any underlaying anxiety. 
After my hair was cut and blown dry I was feeling and looking like a beauty queen. 

I was also impressed that there was not any high pressure add-on product sales.
I was informed of the product used on my hair and was told they are available, if I wanted.

After this experience I am now looking at getting a haircut as more of a treat, 
and less like an ordeal.

Fading Into Fall

Star Bunny Studio 2013

This is the best time of year.
The seasons are beginning to transition from summer into fall.
Everyday you see more gradual changes taking place in nature.
The longer nights and cool morning temperatures are comforting 
changes from the long, hot, and humid summer days.

Take time to enjoy this brief transition as fall takes over, and summer
 becomes a distant memory. It will not last for long!

The Last Of Summer

Star Bunny Studio 2013

The last official weekend of summer has now passed us by.
 It has been a great summer full of adventures and outdoor fun.
It is hard to believe it is all coming to an end.

I hope you take an opportunity for one last summer adventure,
before the cool weather of fall arrives.
