Newsletter: The BIG NEWS! And Goodbye 2021!
Happy Holidays and Exciting News
Hello Beautiful Clients!
I hope that you are well, your family is well and all safe. This is year has been a hard one on everyone and in all different forms. I remember being a hairstylist during the economic crash in 2008. Then I was going through a divorce and losing a home. It was devastating, but not like this. This is different, but I’m hoping and praying that 2021 will be a better year.
One thing that I’ve realized like many others during this time is re-evaluating your life and direction. It’s interesting. There are people moving to different jobs, actually moving and even starting new businesses. I’ve talked about owning my own salon, but with the kiddos being so little it just not possible right now, but … here’s the BIG NEWS…
Moving to NW21 Salon!
Starting Saturday January 2nd!
This is absolutely nuts, but NW21 Salon is located on the same street where I first started leasing seven years ago. The salon is located between NW Johnson St. and NW Kearney off of NW 21st in the Alphabet District, 822 NW 21st. Not far from 77. You’ll also find coffee shops like Sterling Coffee Roasters and Coffee Time close by who are still up and running. There are also several restaurants who are still in business and would love your support by ordering take-out. And Trader Joe’s and Elephant’s is just up the street. Boutique style in a half-basement with bright lighting, white styling chairs and white furniture NW21 Salon has a super chill, but high-end vibe when entering. NW21 Salon is a five-chair salon which I like a lot. Currently it’ll only be me and the owner, Chelsie. Chelsie has been in the industry for over thirteen years first starting her career at Urbaca for 10 years, then moving to Grace Salon for the last two. Her vision was to have her own salon and I’m so excited to be working along-side her and help her grow her business as well as mine. The salon is also Covid Compliant with proper sanitation equipment and procedures and the ability to maintain six feet social distancing from each other. I did tell her my own goals of one-day owning my own salon and she is totally cool with it. What’s also cool is she has two kiddos of her own the youngest one five and in school. So I can pick her mama brain!
I didn’t take this move lightly. I’ve been with 77 Salon for over five years and it’s absolutely been the best salon that I’ve ever worked at. I remember my friend Janelle every so often mentioning I come over to the salon. Then I was working at Ward Stroud’s Salon. Timid that it was so big I met up with April and made the decision. I feel very honored to have had the opportunity to work alongside April. She’s very open and trusting and I have a lot of respect for her. She’s also has given me several opportunities, understood what I was going through after having the twins and has been a solid person. She’s opened another location in Hillsdale which is really cool and exciting and I wish her the best as well as the 77 Salon stylists.
At NW21 Salon we’ll be carrying RandCo. which I’m excited to play with and learn more. I know a lot of you are using Oribe and/or Kevin Murphy which unfortunately we will not be carrying so please consider purchasing through April’s Salon and not online through Amazon or another vendor. Every business need’s support right now.
Square Booking!
At the end of December I will no long be using Vagaro and will be using square booking only. It’s very easy to navigate and book. You can find the link on my IG @portlandhairstylist or website www.emilymazour.com.
It’s really exciting and nerve-racking to do a move like this, but I know in my heart it’s what I need and I feel you all will absolutely love. I feel also that I have not been my best self as a hairstylists serving you. Maybe a little negative, low-energy or not on my A-Game and for that I apologize. You are the reason I have this career and love what I do. And I feel very honored to have you as a my client.
Thank you so much for all of your support and coming along this hair journey of mine and yours too! I really enjoy seeing each and every-one of you and I look forward to pampering you up at NW21 Salon. WooHoo 2021!
