5 reasons we don't have gossip magazines in the salon!

As you may or may not know we don't have gossip magazines at Salon Boheme.

We also don't have Glamour or Cosmo or others like it.

Here is why:

1. Gossip breeds more gossip.

If someone is sitting in my chair and we say
"Oh did you hear -insert celebrities name here- are getting a divorce and she is pregnant by -insert another celebrity-"

The other people in the salon don't necessarily know we are talking about celebrities and not other clients.

Gossip is gossip regardless who it is about.

2. We have enough pressure on us.

I'll never forget the day I am at the grocery store and the cover of a magazine read
"how to please your guy in 10 seconds"

"lose 10 pounds by the weekend!"

Ok, so now I need to be a wife who is 10 pounds thinner and can please my husband in 10 seconds?

Um, no thanks.

I'm just trying to be the best wife and mom I can be for my family.

No more pressure needed, please.

3. There isn't a lot of positive inside.

We want you to leave the salon feeling as good on the inside as you look on the outside.

Full to the brim with all the good stuff.

Relaxed and not stressed.

4. We don't care

What they (celebrities) look like with and without make up

If they went to the grocery store

Sensationalizing these people and infringing on their privacy while they are pushing their kids on a swing at the park is absurd

It's no wonder sometimes they lose their cool and punch our a dude holding a camera.

5. Book are better.

We have a wide assortment of books for every age.

They are available to read in the salon or to take and bring back.

It's the honor system and has worked well for many years.

We do have magazines available too:

Haircut and hairstyle

Oprah

InStyle

Vogue

Cooking, canning and gardening varieties

and of course

Some for all the dudes in the salon

The options are always changing.

We also have an Etch A Sketch!

This is a very popular item.

Kids will even trade an electronic to play with it.

Adults pick it up and usually say

"I had one of these when I was a kid"

A lot of stairs have been drawn and some people can fashion their name on it.

It is fun to see peoples eyes light up when they pick it up.

Salons for the most part have this persona where you can get all the dirty gossip on everyone under the sun.

Well, not here.

We are raising the bar.

So, come, snuggle up on our sofa and get into a good book or try to twist your name on the Etch A Sketch while your color processes or you wait for your friend.
We will pour you a glass of wine, grab you a beer or make you a piping hot cup of joe to go with it.

You'll be glad you did

Peace and love, love, love

So, let's get started!

I wanted to begin by sharing with you how Salon Boheme was born.

I first shared this story over on my personal blog Blessed Is Me.

There have been a couple changes since the original post was made.

Tab has gone to spread her wings at her own salon and Amber has joined us! 

Amber has been a seamless fit into our salon family and we can't wait to meet her little bundle due in August.
