1st Annual (unofficial) Holiday Client Appreciation Gifts!

I know it has been awhile since posting (or tweeting). I have been very busy and in a "funk" because of certain past clients trying to break my spirits. However, THEY WILL NOT GET ME DOWN! I just don't understand why people take my kindness for weakness. In lieu of those situations I am going to be putting together gifts for my best clients!

The gifts will include:
  • Liquid Black Soap
  • Whipped Hair Creme
  • 1 pair of earrings
  • Thank you Card
I really appreciate you because you are the reason why I have not stop doing this. I would like to have all of this done by Christmas however, that may not happen more like December 31st/ January 2nd. When I make the first batch I will take a photo of the complete package.

The gifts will not be delivered through the mail. An email will be sent to those clients selected for pick up.

Until next time!
Thanks for reading!

Vent: let it off ya chest!

This topic will come up from time to time when I need to get something off my chest. Just decided that I need to vent regarding some situations that have come my way these past few days. Please bear with me if I start to ramble:

:::Sidebar::: now I try to be easy going, kind, and courteous to all of those around me. Maybe these are characteristics that screams to ill-hearted people as "let's mess with you!" :::Sidebar:::

Issue #1: Flakes...oh where do I start? I did this person's hair before (once mind you) but total appointments made: um maybe 7! Now, I do not have a problem if things come up and you cancel. My problem is the no-call/no-show "cancellations". This person has done this to me about 3 times. Now, I know what your thinking "why are you still dealing with him?"
Well, it's because I have online appointment making and that's how he gets by me. Then he doesn't make appointments frequently. This last time was the last straw!

Updates going on the work site.

Hey there,

So much has gone on since the last post and I do apologize for not getting my newsletter out on the 1st. Expect to receive it by tomorrow or the 4th (depending on the time).

Anyway, I have figured out how to fully code my website to show my designs. You may not know this but, I'm a geek as well!
The www.loveofhair.com site has some updates as of now: the new Style Of The Month is up and I have changed the client review page.

I can't wait until I get some time to create my site's new design in Photoshop and then code it so, you can see the new Zanai's Love Of Hair website.

Until then I will keep you updated with screenshots and whatnots...

Thanks for reading!

Seeking Tree Braid Models


I hope your Thanksgiving was family and fun filled. My brothers came up from LA and we are having a ball.

The end of another month is coming upon us, meaning the new Style Of The Month is here: Nubi Nubi Twists (see the posting below for that style).

Anyway, this is about Tree Braids. A few posts back I did a client's hair in that style and it was my first time. Now, I'm looking for 4 more ladies whom are willing to try this style out. This will help, giving me more practice time to perfect the style and lessen the time of completion.

I am only able to do this style with curly or wavy textured hair (for now). The hair used on the model is: Batik synthetic braiding hair in bulk form. This type of hair is of great quality close to human hair. 4 packs were used to complete the style. The hair comes in 18" length only (that I know of).

I will post later the website so you can see the different textures. The better brands of synthetic hair are Batik, Bonne, and some of the curly FreeTress (only for the textures they produce).
*UPDATED the website is: http://store.goldenmartbeautysupply.com/sybrha.html for Batik, Bonne, and FreeTress synthetic hair*

Please let me know if you are interested by emailing me: loveofhair@gmail.com.

Hope to hear from you soon!
Akiya
