The Last Days Before the First Days.

Sarah and Sarah Jane have spent the last few days on Main Street removing any trace of our existence there. It's been strange... a bit sad and a bit exciting. We're definitely going to miss our original neighborhood, neighbors and space. We're just so glad that we have such a beautiful new salon to reveal to you all in a few days time, and an exciting new neighborhood to call home.

There is nothing like smashing a few things to help deal with feelings.

Bye, Main Street!
We've loved you and we'll smell you later.

xo SC + SJT.

We're in the final phases!

I don't know about you, but I find renovating both terribly exciting and punishingly exhausting!

We began moving furniture we could live without from current to new Beehive today!
The painting is a day away from being complete.
We have running water and working lights in the new space on Fraser...
... and only three days left of actual hair-doing at 4385 Main Street!

At the end of these long days, I sometimes like to use the internet to ruin what's left of my brain and remind myself of why life is funny and fascinating. You know... to motivate me or whatever.
Here's a few gems I've uncovered.

Sharing is caring.
Love, Sarah Jane

The Joys of Renovating

Neither Sarah nor I had ever actually been to the dump before.
For some reason we both had these notions that it would not be so bad...

When we realized that we had to bring the tile shrapnel there, we were both kind of excited to see what this mythical place would be like.

Well... it is DISGUSTING!
We went to Ikea afterwards to pick-up some small things for the space, and had dump-stink all over our shoes and totally stunk-up the place.

This is our public apology to all the Ikea Richmond staff and patrons!
We know better now.

(... In hindsight... the whole experience was kind of fun.)

Love, Sarah Jane

the reno continues...

Well, the framing of the new space is almost done! Things are starting to shape-up real nicely-like.

Oh... and all our hard work paid off. Look at what's left of those vinyl tiles we were ripping off!

More updates to come.

The renovations begin!!!!!!

While we're still open and doing business on Main Street until November, Sarah and Sarah Jane have begun the renovations to our new space on Fraser Street (opening Nov. 1)!!!!

Ripping up baseboards and tile... It's funner than it looks.

The next step is knocking down walls so that we can build new ones. We've called-in the pros to help. More photos and stories to come.
