Divine Daze S21E03

The first quarter of 2019 is gone!! Just like that, I’m hoping that’s the end of our hot weather and we can start enjoying Cairns for the beautiful place it is. Easter is not far away, the salon will be closed from Friday the 19th and will reopen on Tuesday 23rd April, closing again on Thursday 25th April for Anzac day. The week before Easter we will be trading late on Wednesday the 17th April and closing at 5pm on Thursday before Good Friday. Caitlin will be having a few away trips in April, the 9th and 10th she will be in Melbourne attending a Men’s Cutting Course with Uros Mikic, a very talented hairdresser who holds countless international titles including 3-times Men’s Hairdresser of the year. Then from the 29th April until 1st May, she will be down in Sydney attending the first phase of the Wella Master Colour Expert Program!! So if you need to see her be sure to take note of these dates.

Becoming yogis…

We are turning into yogis!!! One of our amazing clients is like a “Yoga Master” and has been taking us through the movements on Wednesday mornings for the last few weeks. It’s amazing the habits we create in our bodies especially in hairdressing, once you start becoming aware you realise how out of alignment you’ve been for all those years. Just taking the time to notice how you breathe at different times of the day and how you scrunch up certain areas of the body and training yourself to change your habits has been really enlightening!! For us we definitely hold a lot of tension in our shoulders and upper back. So with our yoga team bonding practice finishing at 9am, the salon is now opening at 10 on Wednesdays. I thought I’d better let everyone know so you don’t think we’ve closed down.

Healthy hair…

At Divine we don’t just make your hair look good, we are very passionate about the health and growth of your hair too. Hair loss or thinning affects around 50% of men and women and is caused by so many things… genetics, stress, health reasons such as thyroid, pregnancy and menopause, pollutants in the air & environment, medication and nutrition and Diet. We see it a lot and know it can be a touchy subject. But we do have a solution, Nioxin and The Nioscope. The Nioscope is a camera that magnifies up to 2000x, we can see the condition of your scalp and hair follicle, how many hairs are growing out of each follicle, the diameter of each hair strand and cuticle condition. Once we gather these images they are saved in our Nioscope memory and we can then properly prescribe the correct Nioxin range for you. The shampoo, cleanser and leave in treatment are then to be used at home everyday for the first month. We then have you back to go under the Nioscope again to see the difference your new haircare regime has made to your scalp and hair. We have had the range for over 3 years seen amazing results with people hair coming back to life. we have now started documenting these results with some of our clients so that we have a portfolio to show everyone that this stuff actually does work. If you feel like you could be a candidate for this range please let us know!!

Finally I want to mention the Little Free Library in Edge Hill – take a book and bring a book to the little Library Box at 103 Woodward St. This cute little book box is doing great business with the neighbourhood readers. A distinctive paint job by Local Edge Hill Artist Hayley Gillespie adds to its charm. Please take the time to check it out.

That’s it from me I think, until next episode.
