Productive Thursday!

The salon in Solana Beach, Vanity, where I sold some of my hair accessories today... Check them out if you are on 101

Thank you to everyone for the words of encouragement with regards to my new blog :-) It makes it so much more fun when I know there may be a couple of peeps tuning in!

Today was a productive day. I was invited in to showcase my creations at a salon in Solana Beach, Vanity. They don't have a website or I would link you to them. If you don't have a salon or stylist that you are fully committed to I suggest you check it out - everyone that works there is extremely talented. I have been getting my hair done here by Amber since they opened... the place is amazing! You totally feel at home right when you walk through the beautifully hand-crafted doors. The place is decorated with an eclectic-Asian inspired theme. They always have coffee house tunes playing as background noise just below the chattering of people and blow-dryers. The best part about the place is probably the fact that they serve vino and beer ;-) I think this is the part that sold my boyfriend, Dylan, on it!

Anyways... I got a very positive response with my head bands and clips. It is always so nerve racking to me to show people my accessories for the first time... I know I should be more confident but it is always difficult when you handmake an item - you obviously put thought and effort into each thing so you want everyone to like them as much as you do. The salon purchased a few of each... and even a couple of the stylists bought a couple things as well as a client that was in getting her hair done! So I obviously left the salon with a good feeling inside...

I also gained a few more contacts to boutiques in the San Diego area thanks to my good friend, Krystal! Hopefully those will unfold into sales as well... I will keep you posted!
