Then on SUNDAY MARCH 7TH from 2-5pm you can come celebrate Canopy Studio’s birthday, play on the trapeze, eat birthday cake, and watch Jo perform on the trapeze! It’s free!

Spring is almost here, and we can’t wait!

Durn! That is cute!

February 9, 2010 · Leave a Comment

I have been dreaming of cutting Jessica’s hair like this for so long. She has curly curly curly hair on top and more like wavy underneath. So this shape is perfect for her. We begun her haircut same as always (a cute graduated bob) then she got up the nerve to go for it! I am so glad we did! 

I hope you’re still loving it, Jessica. You looked unbelievably cute! So cute that we’re all still talking about it…

The Pixie Plunge

January 27, 2010 · 1 Comment

Miss Nina learned all about taking the Pixie Plunge last Saturday! She’d been wearing a sweet little bob for about a year and a half; and her mama, Sue, was ready for a change. We wanted some hair gone, and the little pink-lovin’ lady still wanted to look like a girl. Nina is not one to shy away from risky business in the fashion department, and I’m not one to shy away from a messy pixie, soooooooo… VOILA!

And she was even kind enough to ham it up for us afterwards! Thank you, ladies!

A random picture from our "Honey's goes to the beach" trip. Yes, that's LoLo with a shaved head and a pork rind.

 

I don’t know how I missed it but January is already almost done. The New Year has been very good to us, and I hope you all can say the same thing!

January 12th we added a new bee to the hive.  Liz Doerr comes to us with 5 years of experience from another Athens salon. She and is a local girl with a heart of gold and I ‘m so glad to know her. Liz’s place in the salon is already so important to our day to day that I hope we can hold on to her forever!

January 29th will be our two year anniversary. I simply cannot explain how grateful I am to have met so many amazing people and to have gone on this incredible journey. I hope there are many years to come. WE’LL BE DOING IT UP AT LITTL KINGS SHUFFLE CLUB STARTING AT 6! IT’S KARAOKE NIGHT!

Thanks so much for standing by the hive. For believing in little businesses, and little business women.

Jumping on the Food 2 Kids Bandwagon!

November 24, 2009 · 1 Comment

This holiday season, we gals at the hive will be doing a fundraiser for Food 2 Kids, which is a project of the Junior League of Athens and a branch of the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia. The program provides food to children who are at risk of going hungry on the weekends. They are sent home on Fridays with a 5-7 pound sack of foods like fruit, peanut butter, cereal, pop-can soups and ravioli, and crackers. All things an unattended child could prepare for themselves. Clarke County has a 32% poverty rate and 61% of Clarke County School District’s children receive free or reduced. The need for assistance is clearly there, therefore, so is the need for further funding.

We are so excited to raise money for this program and be a part of helping to spread the word. 

And now for the fun part! We have put up the tree and will be decking it out this week. To raise funds for Food 2 Kids, we will be “selling” ornaments off the tree and presents from under the tree. Each ornament has a number that corresponds to a super awesome gift! You won’t know what you’re getting until you get it, but I can tell you you’re gonna love it! They include things from: Stylized Portraiture, Studio Mod Glass, Balance Pilates, White Tiger Gourmet, Missy Kulik, Red Eye Coffee, 1000 Faces Coffee, ACC Recycling, Terrapin Brewery, and Honey’s. You won’t be disappointed! The ornaments and presents range from $5 to $30 and are an easy way for you to knock off an item from your shopping list or give yourself a holiday season boost. Just come by during December with either cash or a check ready to be mad out to the NEG Food Bank and walk out with a fabulous gift!

If you, kind readers out there, own a business or provide goods or services that you would like to throw in to the mix, please email us at honeyssalon@gmail.com  We’d love to have more. At this point we are set to raise over $400, and more donations would raise more money!

Thanks so so much in advance!

Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S. You’re correct, the llama has nothing to do with any of this. But isn’t he cute?!

Isn’t Ms. Shauna the most beautiful creature! We did it up real nice with some PM Shines in a new block color pattern with customized color formulas just for her! Coppers and red wine tones with beautiful new layers to match. Not to toot my own horn, but check out that beautiful blow out!

We sent Shauna out the door to go to band practice looking ultra fabulous. I insisted she play with a fan blowing her beautiful new hair in the wind! Movie star, Rock star, my pretty star. Let’s hang out again soon Shauna!

You can hear Shauna here and here!

Toot! Jo

Doesn’t he look handsome?

It was Sam’s first visit to the Hive but not his first time in my chair. Sam has great natural texture that lends itself well to this “lived in” shape. As a student at UGA, he doesn’t have the time to come in every 4 weeks so “lived in” gets to grow out nicely. I love that he leaves not looking like he’s freshly trimmed. It’s like he just appears one day looking this fabulous! 

Welcome to Honey’s!

Viki is such a doll! Look at her, ain’t she cute?

For the longest time she wore a graduated bob, and the last couple of times she has come in it has gotten shorter and shorter. I’m loving it. I can’t wait until she comes back in and I get to see it with her natural curl!

Lindsay is a beautiful, super talented, and outrageously sweet gal who’s been very patient with her hair.  

We’ve been working on this cut for a while. She’s been long and short and now a little bit of both. Growing out certain sections to cultivate the perfect curls takes some time, and I think her patience has really begun to pay off. This cut is full of surprises that I have really enjoyed pulling together. Thanks for putting your pretty pretty curls into my hands Lindsay!
