Guys, how many COVID-19 Coronavirus emails do you think you’ve gotten by now? I know I’ve been getting updates from companies I didn’t even know had my email address! I guess it’s better to be safe than sorry right?

This is not something I EVER imagined having to deal with in life, or in business ~ but here we are. So, I want to give you peace of mind about visiting The Studio over the next few weeks. I don’t want to come to you as just another business bombarding your inbox, but as your Stylist - who you spend hours with on a regular basis, who cares about you, your health and your family.

---

I’ve been googling like a man woman - frequenting sites like State of Nevada, Washoe County Health Department, NV State Board of Cosmetology, City of Sparks, the CDC and have been in direct contact with the Sierra Salon Suites building owner to get the most current information about keeping us both safe during this uncharted time.

None of these departments have recommended nor mandated the closure of beauty salons, 1:1 Client & Service Provider appointments, or Private Business. Now, more than ever I feel SO blessed that our time together in The Studio is one on one and we aren’t in a Public space.

In addition to current industry standard level of cleaning & sanitization on all equipment + surfaces using hospital grade disinfectant before / after each appointment; I am taking additional precautions to sanitize door handles, light switches, salon chairs, stations, phones for checking out, and frequently touched surfaces before and after your appointment.

The Sierra Salon Suites building has increased the amount of times the cleaning staff is coming in to sanitize and clean the common areas like the lobby and restrooms.

The Nevada State Board of Cosmetology will continue making its rounds, as usual, ensuring each Stylist is upholding all sanitization laws.

The Suites have recommended that all guests remain in your car until your appointment time - skip waiting in the lobby all together, and come on back to The Studio directly.

To ensure health and safety we must keep our appointments one on one. Please come to your appointment alone.

When you come into The Studio you’ll be greeted with the aroma of Lemon Scented Bleach disinfectant where we will promptly wash our hands, together - and sanitize our phones!

Complementary Food & Refreshments will be put on pause at this time as an EXTRA precaution.

---

In addition to being ever mindful the appointment cancellation fee will be waived if you have: a compromised immune system, are showing any symptoms of illness such as: runny nose, fever, cough, sore throat, or any flu/cold like symptoms, have been in contact with anyone having these symptoms, have traveled within 2 weeks of your appointment, or otherwise feel uncomfortable and choose to practice complete social distancing. If any of these apply to you, I’d be happy to accommodate you with a new appointment time for a later date - PLEASE reach out.

It is my commitment to stay current on this ever changing situation, and know that at any moment things may change. I vow to respond immediately & accordingly. I am healthy + happy and will remain open my during normal business hours . My hope is that this finds you in good spirits and good health as well! Health + Safety are the MAIN priority. It is my pleasure to continue serving you during this dynamic situation and hope that the Rose Golde Extension Studio can still be a place of peace, relaxation and a moment of self care for you.

Why so much Education?

We’ve talked before about my nerd level excitement and dedication to continued education over on this previous blog post so you already know a little bit about it, but I wanted to dive deeper since I’m about ready to head out again for another trip to Southern California.

On Wednesday I leave for an NBR Mastermind Event. It’s a 2 day event where we learn continued education in the NBR Method and also talk about the 3rd Quarter of business with other entrepreneurs  - basically a hair nerd convention geeking out over NBR transformations and personal growth. lol but for reals. 

These events are held every quarter, in addition to 2 NBR Hands on Intensive classes. -small group geeking out over learning MORE stuff. :P

---

All these classes are not mandatory for those us in Mastermind to go to, but they are provided and are tailored each time to match where we are in our education and are offered for everyone in the continuing education program.

This will be my 5th time this year that I fly out for Education. I’ve gone to both of my Hands on Intensive classes, and this will be my 3rd time going out for a Quarterly Event.

At one point in my mind - the thought of that seemed outrageous - in SO many ways.

Now, I am so beyond committed to offering the best Hand Tied Hair Extension service I possibly can, because I know the impact it is having on the way women feel about themselves! 

I want to master that color blend, for the stitching to be clean and neat, for the beadwork to be comfortable and for you to feel SO good that even you are excited for the camera to come out for after photos. 

---

So I go spend time and money to put my self in a room where I can learn from the creator of the method her lead trainer and their education team. 

I’m always impressed with the education that they offer - each time it gets tailored more and more to what we need as students. I’m beyond stoked that this event there are break out sessions and we get to go work with small groups and trainers on the areas we personally asked to learn more about. 

I MEAN COME ON! How rad is that? It’s not a “sit here and learn this” type event. It’s hands on training with small groups on the exact topics we are needing extra work in. 

I am dedicated to offering my clients the best service I can possibly provide. It’s in part because I want to offer my best work at all times as my own personal standard and love for the art, but right there with that I want you to know that when you invest in your self with hair extensions - you know that I am investing in my education and craft so you can have the BEST experience possible. 

I am a forever student and always willing to put my self in situations to continue my education in this industry so that you are always having an amazing experience! 

For you own hair transformation share you hair history with me here

Let's talk Luxury / At Home Hair Care Video Series

Video 5 is here! How To: Achieve a Smooth Flat Iron Finish for your NBR Hair Extensions 

If you’re on Video 5, then you know what you’re about to learn! Soooo…

---

Let’s go beyond the Heat Protectant and Styling Tools in this video, and talk about the reason I wanted to create a Video Series for my clients. 

I think it’s really important as your Extension Specialist - to show up for you! 

Maybe you just invested $1,500 - $2,200 into a luxury service, where we could talk about your top quality, voluntarily donated, less silicone, custom colored, hand tied hair extensions~ that blend with your fresh new lived in color and, installed with a minimal damage method. 

We could start talking about value there - but I think you already know that part by now. We’ve gone over it. 

We’re actually going to get outside of the In Salon Appointment and talk about when you’re at home and taking care of your extensions for the first time!

---

Incorporating ANYTHING into your lifestyle and routine can seem a little intimidating - so I wanted to eliminate that fear with education! 

That’s I decided to provided added value and create these At Home Care Videos, and it’s why you went home with all those products and tools!!

Not only do I want you to have an amazing In Salon Experience, I want you to feel REALLY confident taking care of your extensions and incorporating them into your every day life. 

My goal is to set you up for success with taking care of your extensions, so you can be obsessed with your transformation and that feeling radiates into all aspects of your life! 

I am proud to offer a 5 part video series alongside my NBR Extension Services, and I hope you enjoy the added value that comes when choosing Rose Golde.

I also share a lot of LIVE real time techniques and tricks on my blog and social media pages so make sure you’re staying current with me there!

How To: Blow Dry NBR Hair Extensions

I’m pretty excited because the 4th, How To Video is up and ready for you! 

I think it’s really important as your Stylist to set you up for success, not just at your appointment but most importantly when you’re at home on your own. After all - we spend more time apart then we do together.

Having extensions can often be a brand new experience for people, or some are OG extension wearers - but are new to the NBR method. So knowing how to incorporate them into your routine might be a little, well - NEW!

So, I thought I'd create 5 videos to explain - How To: Take Care of your NBR at Home, in order to set each of my guests up for an amazing NBR experience.

I want my clients to feel confident in knowing how to properly take care of their new hair!

I always send each new guest home with a printed list of instructions for at home care - “NBR 101”

But let’s be honest for a moment, a printed piece of paper often gets lost in the first 5 minutes OR get’s set aside with very good intentions of being “read later”…..amiright?!!

---

So, here is the 4th How To Video -  Blow Drying NBR Extensions.


Blow Drying hair isn't rocket science, but you're definitely going to need to know how to dry the base of your Rows to keep everything tangle free and smooth. 

PRO TIP: NEVER go to bed with WET EXTENSIONS - make sure they're dry and in a loose braid or ponytail before bed. 

1. Dry your extensions before going to bed.

2. Brush your hair before bed and braid it, or wear it in a ponytail.

3. Don’t go to bed with your hair wet, OR loose and down, or you will get matting. (lol - yes i’m trying to scare you into proper at home care!! - hope it’s working)

---

I hope you are enjoying your NBR Extensions and loving incorporating these simple new habits into your haircare routine. 

I also share a lot of LIVE real time techniques and tricks on my Instagram and Facebook so make sure you’re staying current with me there!

First Time with FabFitFun

I think I might be over monthly subscription boxes, BECAUSE I’ve upgraded to Quarterly Subscriptions. I’ve been getting NewBeauty TestTube box AND now, I’m on the FabFitFun train and I’m not upset about it.

I’ve seen FabFitFun around and it always caught my eye, but it wasn’t until I had several clients tell me that they were subscribed and basically told me I needed it in my life. One of my clients saw my Instagram Live about Subscription boxes and she sent me a DM saying she had a FFF Starter Box she could send me a coupon for. It was $5 dollars! seriously. So I said yes and got my Starter Box! Here’s that unboxing if you’re curious about getting your feet wet first!

I feel like I’m able to get higher quality items, less often - so I have time to fully use a product and decide how I like it. I also like that I am introduced to new brands that are at a higher value.

Every girl needs a little luxury in her life~

My Message to Women Right Now

My goal is always to show women how beautiful they are and to remind them of their inner confidence and power so they can go out and kick ass bringing their passions to life.

I choose to do this through the art of Lived in Color and NBR Extensions. I’m passionate about the mastering skillsets in these, and delivering an amazing experience. I’m even more passionate about women being on FIRE with purpose. A woman’s hair appointment (or nails, lashes, waxing, facials, spa day —- pick yours ) is technically a CONFIDENCE Appointment - it’s about the FEELING afterwards.

The extra pep in your step. That little BOOST you get when you leave. I know that YOU KNOW the EXACT feeling I’m talking about.

---

So many things are coming up in the world today about Women - rights, movements, powers - you name it…it’s being talked about on a very MACRO level.

I’ve realized my part in this is smaller, it’s on the micro level. It’s about showing an individual woman that she can have the confidence she needs to THEN go and tackle whatever is important to her.

I’m in it for the confidence of women, the feeling we get after one little appointment that reminds us we are capable of BIG shit!

---

I feel like when I’m scrolling online - I see all of these quotes. I know you see them too about women and empowerment and I SEE things. But I want to WITNESS more women lifting each other up in my actual day to day life. What do you do personally to lift up your fellow woman?

I want to be held accountable of this in my own life and my own passion for purpose. Let’s be women of ACTION that do what we say. Let’s not just talk about it.. Let’s DO things that lift up ourselves so we may lift up other women in return.

So when you come in for your guest experience and hair transformation with NBR, I want to know what your passions are. Share with me what you are DOING to encourage and empower the women around you - whether it be in a MACRO or mirco way.

Don’t forget we’re in this together babes! ~xo
