April Showers

Grant Tatum
Salon Coordinator

April showers bring May flowers - and lots of other positive changes as well. That is, now that the plant world has stopped trying to kill us with pollen.

Arrivals:
We're all very happy here to have Rachelle returning to cut, color and style - and we're sure you will be too! As owner, Rae has worked many hard hours over the years to making sure the service Blue Velvet delivers to you is exceptional. After spending some time devoted to herself, some home remodeling and taking care of her dog, Goblin, she's ready to spend a little time back here.

Her schedule is open on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Appointment times are limited, so give us a call to reserve your time now. 879.2080

Departures:
Senior Stylist, Jenny Pittman has been a part of the Blue Velvet team for many years. Apart from BV, Jenny has volunteered often at homeless shelters and service organizations in Birmingham, giving a lot of herself back to the community. After the January 2010 earthquake which devastated Haiti, Jenny found another opportunity to make a difference, this time, a little more globally. She has moved to Haiti to help in the recovery efforts. We anticipate her being gone for at least 6 months, perhaps longer. As she readied herself to go, Jenny asked us to express to her clients her deeply felt thanks for your years of loyalty and friendship.

While Jenny is sad to be leaving us, she also wants to make sure you know that you are left with a very capable team stylists who are ready to take care of your hair style needs. And having your color and haircare history at hand, we are able to us make that transition more comfortable for you. Just give Grant or Michael a call at the salon and we'll be glad to make a stylist recommendation and set up your next appointment. 879.2080

Other Travel Arrangements:
We're certain this warm Spring weather has stirred a little something in you too. Ready to start your own adventure? Maybe a trip to the beach, or just out to the pool? The sun, salt water and pool chlorine can all do a number on your hair. Ask your stylist how to best keep your hair healthy this Spring and Summer. And if you want to give Mother Nature a little assist with those sun-kissed highlights, this is the perfect time to schedule a trip BV.
