Hey guys! I have cell service again! If you sent a text and don't hear back from me today, please re-send your message.

I had a handful come through, but I know some have not (my mom sent a couple, and I haven't gotten those).

So again, if you don't hear back from me, please re-send your message, and I'll get back to you!!

💗I appreciate you💗

🍹🌴Hey guys! I am going to be out of the salon next week, the 23rd - 27th! I will not be able to receive texts or phone calls, and last time, I got locked out of Facebook (it was glorious... ha!) and couldn't get messages through there either. So if you send a message and I don't reply, I will get back to you when I have service again!🌴🍹

🎄🦃Also, holiday appts are starting to fill in! If you want to get on my books for when I get back and/or for the holidays, let me know!🦃🎄

Hey guys!

So lane closures have shifted right outside the salon! Going south on State Street goes down to 1 lane right before HyVee, which is just across from the salon entrance. It is sure to be backed up. Please keep this in mind, especially if you have a late afternoon/early evening appt.

🩷Thank you, I appreciate you🩷

Friendly reminder for Wednesday clients! Please plan for a little extra time getting to your appointment Wednesday! I appreciate you!

For July 26, we've had a lot of questions about Des Moines metro roads that will be closed for RAGBRAI. Here's a little better idea of ways to avoid the main RAGBRAI route in the area. Please note that the only way to cross U.S. 69 from SE Magazine Rd to University is via I-80 from about 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Hey guys! It's construction season 🎉😫

Please, please, PLEASE keep this in mind for your appt. I appreciate you and your planning ahead 🩷

As we all know, our location is at one of the busiest intersections in Ankeny, and it's our turn. This will be amazing when it's finished, but it's going to be slow going until then!

Thank you!!

You guys!!

Ten years ago I left a job with PTO, health insurance and a 401K 😳 to spend more time with my family and be my own boss! I can't believe it has been 10 YEARS!

I can't thank all of you enough for your support, loyalty, friendship and for choosing me to take care of you. I cherish every minute we're together and am so thankful for you. We have shared so many laughs and some tears, and I wouldn't change any of it 💗

🥂cheers to another 10 years and beyond! And the best support system I could ask for🥂
