Good News and Bad News
First, the good news:
Alter Ego Salon is growing! We have two new stylists joining us at the salon this month! First up, is Lah Stanton. Lah is a meticulous braider who is just as serious about her timeliness as I am. You can check out her work and book with her HERE.
Next is Bobby Black. Bobby is a new stylist/barber, with the passion and desire to perfect his craft. He has put himself in a position to learn from some excellent stylists and wants to continue to grow at Alter Ego. Silk presses, French braid styles, boys' hair cuts, and everything in between. Book him HERE.
Now for the bad news:
As some of you may already know, one of my CLOSEST friends, lost her son in a tragic and senseless situation this past weekend down in Tampa, FL. In an effort to be there for her as best I can, I may have to either, cancel some upcoming appointments or take an additional week off in August to be there with her. You all know I only cancel appointments when absolutely necessary and this is one of those moments. That said, should any of you "randomly" receive a notification of a canceled appointment, know that this is why. Thank you to those who have already reach out with your condolences, sympathies and prayers.
Other news:
Masks are at your discretion. Whatever you are comfortable with is welcomed. There will always be some here and available to you for free if you want/need. Please continue to be respectful of others and their space. If you are feeling ill in any way please reschedule out of precaution and consideration for everyone visiting the salon.
As always I appreciate your understanding and apologize in advance for any inconvenience!
Thank you always,
Lea
P.S. Remember I am available to answer any of your real estate questions as well. 😉

BIG NEWS!!!
I have some pretty major announcements to share that will take place over the next few months. Hold on to your edges, there's a lot of info coming your way!! 😂😅 #LongPostAlert
1. Like everything in the world, the cost of products and maintenance at the salon (and home) have gone up significantly and while I've tried to hold out as long as I could, I am forced to implement a [minimal] price increase. Beginning April 4th all services will increase by approx 15% (in most cases that's about $5-$7). Even though my pricing is well below "market value" it is always hard for me to increase on y'all because so many of you have been so loyal for so long, but it is necessary for me to maintain.
2. If you have a appointment but get to the salon and the curtains are closed, COME IN!! 😄 I've been keeping the curtains closed to block out the gray skies we've had so many of. It's been helping keep me in a better mood.
3. Schedule changes. For the time being I have closed the appointments for dates beginning in May (April is still open). You all know that these children of mine are pretty active over the summer and fall. Over the next few weeks some of you may receive messages of appointment cancelations. Pay close attention to the dates please, a lot of times people are confused which appointments were changed/canceled and show up for the wrong ones or don't show up for the right ones. 🤦🏾♀️😆 I will come back and post when the books are back open for booking so that you are able to go in a reschedule as needed.
4. (The BIGGEST ONE 😬) I did a thing.....a BIG thing.....you got your edges secured?? 👀 YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST:
I took the class, passed the test, got approved to be licensed and I'm officially A LICENSED REAL ESTATE AGENT!!
🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉
I am SO excited to share this with y'all! Most of you have been with me thru so many things throughout my career, so it's only fair I share it with you first!
4a. Now, this doesn't mean I'm quitting hair.......yet. 😬 I have a ways to go before that happens. While this IS the first step in making that transition, I don't forsee that in the near future.... but we all know who's in control.🙌🏾
4b. This will also effect my schedule which is another reason I have TEMPORARILY closed booking. I am working on figuring out the best schedule to do both. This may, unfortunately, effect those of you with standing appointments but I will discuss that once things are figured out.
4c. I am working on getting settled in with my realty brokerage and will let you know when I am ready to take on realtor clients. So tell yo cousins get their affairs in order... Ima be ready to help them buy/sell a house REAL SOON!!
Stay tuned for all the follow-up info to come!!

Hello ladies!
This year as flown past, the holidays are upon us and a new year is near! I hope this message finds you all well.
Below you will find a few changes I will be putting in place.
+ I will be restoring a group on Facebook (Alter Ego Salon Community) where you all can communicate with me and each other about anything salon related: product questions/suggestions, hair/scalp questions/suggestions; I also have seen in another group where clients will post if they are canceling an appointment to make others aware that an opening may be available, and I will do the same. This will probably be the quickest way to be notified of additional openings that may come available. Here is the link to join the group if you are not already a member: https://fb.me/g/dQAtmicpl/tGsi9zdn
+ I will no longer be making ANY appointments via text or call on my personal cell phone. Please book your appointments either online, in salon at your appointment or by calling the salon 414-937-2311. I need to remove this task from my plate, it has become overwhelming. If you have questions or details you want to share about an upcoming appointment you are able to leave it in the comment section when booking your appointment and I will contact you if necessary or can call the salon. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment it can also be done through the booking site or link that is sent to your phone. Please be sure that your email is on file, I will NOT be spamming you, if I have to cancel for any reason, the details don’t show on your text notification but can be found in your email. NO SHOW FEES WILL APPLY TO EVERYONE. Canceling less than 24 hours in advance is considered a no-show
+ All Saturday morning standing appointments will be pushed back 1 hour
+ At this time because appointments have been so limited, I will not be accepting new clients for a while
+ Appointments can be made up to 60 days in advance, so book early. It is better to have an appointment and be able to cancel than not have one when you need it.
+ Masks are still required in the salon
+ Additional appointments for December will be made available by end of Monday, Dec. 13
Ladies, I have officially been doing this for 18 years! There are few of you who have been with me for that long but even the ladies who have been with me for just one year (or less) are GREATLY appreciated, you have no idea!
Thank for your continued support, understanding and cooperation,
Lea
