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

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)

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

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

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

An unexpected perk: the kids

As I travel from home to home creating beautiful hair, my primary clientele is Moms with kiddos.  One of the things I have really come to enjoy is the warm welcome I now receive.   Especially with 3, 4 and 5 year olds...

Last week I gave services to the entire family and the sweet little girl kept saying that she liked me because I was there to do hair and had red hair.

Apparently my red hair ups the fun factor.  

On Friday, I went into a family's condo - they buzzed me in and I had to walk down a long hall to get into their home, so they knew I was there.  As I was walking down the hall, two kids were yelling "ARICCCAAAA!!!" Immediately they had me.

Today, I went to my friend's house to cut her daughter's hair and we were going to test out feathers as well (oh!  fun!).  As I come to the door, I hear "She's here!  She's Here!  Arica!"  With just a little bit of screaming.  Their Dad quickly moved aside to let me by!

That's just the last week - it just keeps getting better.  I love my mommies and their kiddos!

 

Hairdresser Mom

Oh no Justin Beiber.  Oh no Zack Effron.  Move on over, 'cause my "almost" tween might be setting a new hair trend.

D has been growing his hair out now for months.  It has been driving me crazy.  Tonight we sat down to  Google and searched for pictures of men's cuts to get an idea of the look he is going for.  I really wanted to crawl inside his mind and see the vision he has for himself.

Here is what he identified with:

As with any client, I had to ask questions about what he liked about this picture and why it defined his look.  He thought that it was "a nice picture of someone with longer hair in the back and shorter in the front" - which is exactly what he wants.  

Our evening did end up with a small trim in the back and I was able to comb through his hair.  Tonight, this mama hairdresser considers that a success. 

We'll see how the overall plan goes...
