being real, not trendy

Being Trendy

Trendy (noun):

Setting a trend or stylishly following the crowd. I hope no one ever calls our salon ‘trendy’.

Real people thrill me

I love the bubbly anticipation and quirkiness of young men and women. I love being with women who’re raising their own families and share their lives with me. I love the women who have experienced all of this long ago and now find themselves in completely new territory.
