This Blogger needs to be fired

Today, I won't bore you with why I haven't blogged in forever.... but the news you need to know now is that a) we have moved the store to 53 King Street west, Dundas... just up the street from the old place. This wee spot is only temporary, until we find te right place to house both our store and new curly hair salon. b) in the meantime, we are cutting curly (and any other kind) hair in my house weekly. Let me know if you need a haircut... more later. I PROMISE!!!!

One word

As you all know I am leaving our location at 41 King Street west in September due to the lease being up and the landlord choosing not to renew. Today after almost 2 months of back and forth negotiations and waiting our possible new landlord is coming with the lease for me to sign. 40 days until we have to leave here and when I see her today I still have to change one word in the lease she wants me to sign. The lease negotiations have been nerve wracking at best. ONE WORD. That's all I need changed to go ahead with this location and I can relax a little. Cross your fingers, toes and everything else you can for today to go well. If we do not get this location then we will have 40 days to find a new one(which will be almost impossible in that time frame) and we'll have to close the store for an undetermined amount of time... which in about 1000 ways will make life very difficult. ONE WORD!

Badgers are the best!

Check out the Badger Balm page! Lots of new products, lots of lower prices. As far as I can tell we have the best prices in town and onlne in Canada for all Badger products but especially the Outstanding Badger Sunscreen products! Check it out here.

create more, stir more, curl more... but wait!

So, things are complicated at this end of the ellënoire universe. It looks like in September we will be moving our store to a new location. No, this is not by choice. We do not own our building, and so we do not have a choice if the landlord wants us to leave. There is more to it than that, but I won't bore you with the details. So, here is the plan. Somewhere, within 15 minutes of my existing store we will be opening a new ellënoire store that will also include a curly hair salon. The salon will focus primarily on curly hair cutting and curly hair management but our stylists will all be fully trained to cut any type of hair. The salon will also offer hair colour, pintura (a special DevaCurl invention)highlighting all tailored to your hair type. We also plan to offer a selection of other services that you do not normally see in a salon. Yes, this will all be announced in due time. For now, you can wait with bated breath. The store will remain your best local resource for handmade bath, body & skin care filled with gorgeous natural ingredients and your choice of fragrances, or not. As always we will continue to offer our oft quirky blend of personal care products that compliment what we do. I will continue to create custom blended natural perfumes from essential oils and hopefully soon, we will have a new section of ready to wear fragrances developed by me. In the next few weeks we are launching a new bath, body, skin product line under our label. I will give you full details by the middle of May at the latest. Here are the things you need to look forward to with this new line: Simple, Affordable, clean ingredients, available for custom scenting, or unscented... but wait? Don't we already do this? Yes, but this will be different, better.... a perfect add on to a great collection of products. I can't wait to tell you more, so hold that thought. I have work to do!! P.S. Guest Hair Stylist David Lopez will be coming to cut hair again on May 14 for a few days... book your spot now!
