Halloween can be traced back to more than 2,000 years ago. Samhain (SAH-win), the day the Celtic people celebrated New Year’s Day, was on November 1. Demons and Spirits were said to walk the earth the day before, now known as Halloween. The Celts would dress up in costumes and perform acts for food and drink, in the streets. Jack o’ lanterns originated as turnips not pumpkins. They would hallow out the turnips and place candles in them to keep away the ghosts during Samhain.

Don't forget to bring your ghosts and goblins to the salon for trick or treating. I will be here until 7:00 pm.

 
I will be here from 9 am - 4:30 or 5:00 pm. Give me a call if you would like to get an appointment. I can make time or stay later. I am closed all weekend. Kevin and I will be diving in the Spokane River. The thought of it makes me shiver. Our instructor said the temp should be between 45 and 55 degrees. I am confident in my scuba skills and apprehensive about the cold water. Tropical diving sounds a lot more fun. Oh well, after this weekend, we will be certified for open water scuba diving. 
 
I am closing the salon an hour early tonight (3:00 pm). Kevin, my husband, and I are headed into Spokane for our last scuba class. We will take the book test tonight and than finish the evening in the pool. This weekend we are going on our dives. I think we have two on Saturday and two on Sunday. I hope it isn't too cold. Oh well, our Arizona and Hawaii dives should be warm. We have lots of fun dives planned in the next two months. It should be a great end of the year. 
 
NO.  Sui Generis Beauty Salon uses Goldwell hair color and products. Goldwell is gentle enough not to weaken your hair and will always leave it more shiny and manageable than before. Always consult with a stylist before adding color to your own hair. Mistakes made from supermarket box color can be very costly to correct in the salon. Consultation are always free.
 
I went to a class about website design in Newport yesterday. What a great class!!! I would like to thank the Newport Chamber for hosting the class. It was very informative and as you can see I have a website up and running in less than 24 hours.

Now let's talk hair...Did you know???
The average scalp has 100,000 hairs. Redheads have the least at 80,000; brown and black haired persons have about 100,000; and blondes have the most at 120,000. That is more than a thousand hairs in each square inch.

If you have any questions, let me know and I will find the answer.
