PRE SUMMER BREAK WITH ENTERTAINMENT

During my leave of absence recuperating from my surgery, I received prayers, lovely cards, flowers, fresh fruit cup and basket along with a beautiful glass tea pot. I appreciated all these items and especially the prayers that help me heal comfortably. I missed my clients and the daily swimming I would do, however I did start walking the track again that help me build up my strength. I was happy that the doctor released me in July before the Sisterlocks Homecoming.
I attended the Sisterlocks Homecoming on July 17-20, 2008. This was my second year attending. The agenda was full, the networking was good and the vendors were there with great products. Below are a few shots taken at the Sisterlocks Homecoming.

My most exciting time at the 08 Sisterlocks Homecoming is meeting Calla Johnson and being her model at the hair cutting session. I haven't really had a hair cut in 3 years and I was ready.

ROBIN'S LOCKS HAVEN

I created the name Robin’s Locks Haven for my Sisterlocks/Brotherlocks Business. I had an image in mind to create a relaxing and entertaining environment for my clients to get away and have their Sisterlocks/Brotherlocks created and maintenance in comfort. My family worked with me to create this comfort zone for my clients. I have had positive responses from my clients who have been with me over a year and the response from the new clients is what I was hoping for. Also, when my clients arrive, one of the most important elements in a business is safe parking for my clients which I have plenty. I will continue to make Robin’s Locks Haven stand up to its name…a Haven for Sisterlocks/Brothers to have one on one treatment in a comfortable, entertaining environment.

One Year Later!!!!!!


December 2007...Sisters with Sisterlocks


My 2007 winter holidays were great! My Big, Little Sister visited during the 2007 Christmas Holiday from Syracuse, NY. We started a plan back in September to transition her from relaxed hair to Sisterlocks. I have been working on her to get Sisterlocks as far back as 2003. Well, mission accomplished! We installed her Sisterlocks with two inches of regrowth on Friday, December 28-29, 2007. As her Sisterlocks grow, we will trim away that relaxed hair. She should be fully Sisterlocks with no relaxed ends by August 2008. Our next plan is to have her take the Sisterlocks Consultant Training in Phildelphia, PA, September 2008 and work toward her Sisterlocks Certification in Syracuse New York. My sister Denise is a wonderful seamstress and hat maker…she has always like working with hair too. I love that we are on this journey together. Below are pictures before and after her Sisterlocks Session.

Happy New Year 2008


Happy New Year...I will be taking out time to share information on my blog more often in 2008. I have been blessed with a wonderful, loving family and my Sisterlocks Consultant business has been flourishing. I have opened Robin's Locks Haven and the facilities are warm, entertaining and inviting. I have gotten wonderful and inspiring comments from my clients who feel the environment is very comfortable.

Sisterlocks/Family Gatherings All in One

My family is from Syracuse, New York. We checked around for Sisterlocks Consultants but there are none in that area active. My cousin who lives in Syracuse expressed her desire to get Sisterlocks. This is the first grandchild in my family and also my first cousin. My cousin let me put her first perm in her hair…nothing to brag about now, however I can now brag with pride that she let me start and join her on her Sisterlocks Journey this weekend. I’m very familiar with her hair and knew that her hair would love to be Sisterlocks. This was the perfect weekend for her and my Big Sister to drive from Syracuse and join our immediate family for a Father’s Day Cookout. They arrived Friday morning. After her and my Sister relaxed from the ride, we started around 3:00 PM … we decided to pace ourselves over the three day weekend since they were not leaving until Monday morning. My Sister is interested in learning the Sisterlocks technique so she observed the entire session to see if she would be interested in taking the class. I am truly trying to persuade her because we need all the Consultants we can get and especially since we didn’t find any upstate in the Syracuse surroundings. We really enjoyed ourselves during this Sisterlocks Session because my Sister and another cousin who lives in the area cooked and served us along with watching lots of Chick DVDs. As for her maintenance, we have committed to visiting each other more often and since we have a big family, there’s no problem with her getting in her car for 6 hours to spend the weekend with family. Her follow up will be the second weekend in July when my family and I visit Syracuse for the Nieces and Nephew Family Gathering given by my Aunt who is a Great-Great-Great Aunt. We have also scheduled her 1st Retightening for September. As a treat to herself and my youngest Aunt, they will be taking a train ride to Virginia…neither of them have never traveled by train.
