we made the news!



As much as people like to say that "Fraser is the new Main", we prefer to think that "Fraser is the new Fraser".

The Globe and Mail interviewed Sarah about our recent decision to relocate.
Read on!

Love,

One more inspection to go...


We passed the plumbing inspection on Tuesday and the building inspection on Wednesday!

We're ready, they're not...


Hi folks,

Sorry to keep you waiting!
Despite us being so incredibly organized, there have been a few delays with the city, so we can't open on Wednesday at our new location on Fraser as planned. Don't worry! Everything's fine! We just need the inspectors to say so and we're on our way.

We'll let you know as soon as we do when we'll be opening the doors.

Thanks for your patience!
In the meantime, you can still call to make appointments.
Chenoa's number is available on our answering machine greeting. Simply call her and she will take very good care of you.

Love, Beehive.

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.

the salon that love built..
























... or is building anyway...

we are so lucky to have such amazing friends.







our volunteers have helped us tremendously to make this move happen.
we got most of our furniture and fixtures in today and the space is really shaping up.
we would be about a million years behind schedule to open on Fraser if it weren't for our friends.

we LOVE YOU!

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
