Face Charts - are they useful to you?

Face charts are something a makeup counter does to help you remember what was talked about and used on you during your consultation.  It is yours to bring home, products are written down and often colors are in the spaces for eyes, lips and cheeks to jog your memory.  The face chart serves two purposes: 1. For your reference and 2. For the Makeup Artist turned Salesperson to also "refresh" your memory and entice you to buy.  

I honestly don't use them on a regular basis when I work in store, unless I feel it will really help the person I am working with.

Bottom line:  are the face charts helpful to you or are they just a bothersome clutter you have to take home after your visit to a makeup counter? 

A cut every 6-8 weeks? I think so!

Your hair grows 1/4 inches a month - on average.  It also grows at different rates all over your head and you typically will develop split ends (yes it happens to everyone).

I have talked to woman after woman who has hair on the longer side that don't get their hair cut very often.  One of the guest's hair I cut this weekend had really, supper long hair.  It took me about 30 minutes to untangle and brush through her hair.  I ended up taking about 4 inches off - she hadn't had a cut in over 4 months and was completely overwhelmed by her own hair, which she liked to wear down and couldn't manage very well.  Well, we also ended up cutting some long bangs on her - she was super excited about that because it made her feel like she had an instant change that she could see, beyond the super long hair that she chose to keep.  Since it was such a change for her, I scheduled a time to see her next week to check on her new bangs to make sure they are still working and to see if she wanted to go shorter.


She went home with some detangling spray (I'm so glad) and an appointment set for 8 weeks from now to revisit the idea of making even more of a change.  This is setting my guest up for a routine of maintenance, feeling like she has a plan for her hair and ultimately success when she looks in the mirror.

Julianne Moore probably gets her hair cut often, but still maintains her length.

My cut used to be VERY inverted and precise.  If I let my cut grow out beyond 6-8 weeks, you can really see it!

Front View of Posh's famous inverted bob.

Observing Posh's famous inverted bob, to maintain the percision, you can assume that her hair is cut very frequently. 

This would also be true for many men - they get their hair cut every 4-6 weeks, you can really see it if they don't!  It's great - this is one of the things that most men really get when it comes to their appearance and general maintenance.

The women I see coming in have generally waited soooo long to get it cut, colored or highlighted that it feels like a heavy burden after they have waited so long, rather than a complete pampering joy they could experience more often.  There are few things better than a precise cut and a great blow out! 

Children in the "Salon"

I saw this on a site for hairdressers and it made me want to clarify my point of difference when it comes to your services: This isn't how I roll: my clients would hate me!  

If you know anything about my services - you know that children are always welcomed in the environment - more time and money saved for you - mom! 

Here's What People Are Saying: Services with Arica

Here is what people are saying: 

Arica not only provided very convenient haircuts for me and my daughter but also amazing quality. She was quick and efficient while providing very stylish haircuts. I would highly recommend her personal and attentive services and I will definitely be using her again!

Services: Haircuts for entire family and feather extensions for the girls

Karina Tinsley

Arica did such a professional job of cut and color in my home! It was convenient and relaxed, and saved me time and money that traveling to a salon would have cost. She provides such an invaluable service to busy moms!!

Services: Haircut (for Heidi and daughter), Highlights, Feather Extension (for daughter)

Heidi Bleeker

I just wanted to share that I had Arica Kildea come to my home for a haircut and she did such a great job! It had honestly been a year and a half since my last cut, it had been so hard to find the time to make an appointment and find childcare that I had given up and started cutting it myself!

What a blessing it was to have someone come to my home and cut my hair during nap time! She was very professional and listened well to hear exactly what I wanted. She spent over 2 hours with me and even took the time to straighten my hair (something I would have have to pay for in a separate appointment in a salon)! I think her salon that comes to you is so awesome I just wanted to share!

Services: Haircut and Flat Iron

Jenni Vander Ploeg 

Having two young kids has made it almost impossible to get out of the house to get my hair done. A friend recommended Arica and I couldn't be happier. The first time she came to my house to cut and highlight my hair I felt like I was hanging out with an old friend. She did a fantastic job!

Services: 2 Haircuts and Highlights

Jaime Green

Arica came out to my house and had all the tools she would have had in a salon, I didn't need to provide anything.  She cut my hair and my daughter's perfectly - we were both very happy with the cuts which is not something we had experienced with others in the past. And - she even cleaned up afterwards!  All said and done, it was a great experience and we'll be having Arica over again!

Services: Color and 2 Cuts

My goal is to save you time and money with a first class service that comes to your door. 

No need to provide anything (such as towels), clean up anything (such as hair, foils or bleach), I bring it all and leave your house the way I found it!
