Happy Anniversary HHDS! KW’s 1st Eco Friendly Salon Spa and Energy Space!

happy anniversary

Happy 6th Anniversary Hybrid Hair And Detox Spa!

WOW WOW WOW!  6 YEARS!

I am so Proud of us!  I must say I believe a lot of my personal strength was support in part by Elena Muscalu my ‘Green Family Mama’ and Facial Queen and of course my Husband, Chris Kiers for his unwaivering support mentally, emotionally and with hammer and saw with every reno I tortured him with!  My kids understanding and my sisters supportive passion have subsidized me when my own was low.

I will not lie, there have been tough times I didn’t think I could make it through.  But when I could look to no other for supplementary support what pushed me through was my Love for Mother Earth.  My commitment to my children, and their children’s future.  My passion for helping others and my commitment to bettering myself so I could prove to others that they too could persevere.

I am so grateful now for every adversity every learning curve every challenge because it made me realize every time I got back up that it really was my passion and my purpose in life to help the evolution of the industry and humanity.

I love what we do!  Our continued commitment to the environment and learning and growing in collaboration with others.  I don’t feel like I’m working when I do what I love!  Having added on the opportunity to educate more extensively through my new business The Institute For Harmonious Living, (http://instituteforharmoniousliving.com/)  I have found a way to create greater awareness to the self care cause that connects us to all other things including the planet and all of its inhabitants.  As we evolve this year my focus is on greater self care acceptance by both sexes most specifically men and assisting them with embracing the importance and art of self nurturing experiences like facials, massages, manicures, pedicures and energy treatments, without judgment and or apology.  This perception should be embraced equally for men AND women.  I am excited yet again to unveil new safer and more local Canadian Made products this year as well!

Of course it wouldn’t be complete without celebrating our amazingly unique clientele!  I am so proud to have watched, against many advisers cautionary appeals about transitioning to our eco friendly concept, that our clientele is bigger, stronger and more diverse then ever.  Nothing gives me greater joy then to introduce someone to our unique space with our tour dedicated to our concept and commitment to the planet and safer experiences for the whole family. Or hearing a like minded new client showing unlimited gratitude for our very existence, Or introducing a client to a new energy, self care service or workshop experience to empower them and their loved ones.

I giggled a little when I realized I had passed our legitimate anniversary date of Jan 1st (opened Jan 1st 2010), but I realized I was lost in what I loved, which was planning the upcoming year, hiring new inspiring family members, meeting with my ‘Green Family’ (Staff) setting goals and celebrating successes,  while growing my other company IHL and enjoying last but certainly not least my family!  What better way to honor an anniversary then participating fully in what created it in the first place.

There are no words to fully capture my gratitude for this amazing experience, or for each one of you reading this blog..

But here goes,

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

ReAcquaint Yourself with our ‘Green” Family and check out some of their latest work!

 

Many of you know the lovely Elena, who has been with me since before the birth of HHDS!  She partnered with me and my Daughter Morgan Minnick who has begun training to become a licenced stylist for our latest photo shoot! Some may recognize Morgan as the Original ‘Face’ of HHDS, but this time she was behind the camera, it looks like my Daughter Emma has taken her place in front of the camera!  LOL!  We showcase their work here…

Was it fun?  HELL YA!  We love what we do, and it shows!  We do these Photo Shoots To remind everyone that GREEN IS SEXY!  Also many people claim that Eco Products don’t work as well, well, we have proven that statement wrong as well!  We get outstanding Colour, Ammonia Free, amazing hold, with 70%-80% Aloe Vera first Hair cleansing and styling products, gorgeous glossy Polish shades and Shellacs that last!

I want to thank all of our models who participated and braved the chilly air to get these shots, you were outstanding and it was worth the discomfort to get such amazing Fall Colors as our natural back drop!  Watch for more fun Eco-Shoots coming again soon!
