This Is Our Salon

I try very hard not to ever use the words
"my salon"
I know that I can't do this alone.
I know that Salon Boheme isn't what it is based on me alone.
I need every person who is on our team, every client and potential client.
 Salon Boheme belongs to all of us.

Every person who has walked through our door has brought a lesson.

We are the community we live in.

We strive to give back what is given to us and we can't do that without you.

We know that without you there would be no us.

Salon Boheme was built on the dream of a 6th grade girl that has evolved into a place bigger than my wildest dreams.

Thank you for:
supporting us
trusting us
sharing your celebrations with us
letting us try crazy new ideas on your hair
for delivering everytime we ask for food, school supplies, Christmas presents, shoes and everything in between.
telling your friends about us

You are what makes Salon Boheme what it is.




We don't take for granted that you have many choices for all your
salon and spa needs and can't thank you enough for choosing us.


Peace and love, love, love

Why Eufora?

"Why Eufora" has been a question that has been posed a lot in the last couple weeks.

So, here is why.

I have been in the biz for 19 years. 

I have owned a salon for almost 10 of those years.
I have used A LOT of brands of shampoo etc..

There are many good lines in pretty bottles with wondrous smells.

This is why Eufora is different.

Longevity

The people behind Eufora have been with the company a long time.

The woman who conducted our training has worked for the company for 14 years.

This is almost unheard of.

Turn over in this industry for sales reps is ridiculous!

Support

We had a 3 hour training with the products before we even placed an order.

They want us to know exactly what the products do and the purpose behind them.

We can even call the chemist if we want to!

Education

They want to see stylists and owners thrive!

Each quarter stylist will receive a cutting class FREE of charge!

There is a peer to peer networking group for owners and managers that helps us to make better decisions, achieve better results and become better leaders which is also FREE!

We already have 2 in salon classes scheduled in the coming months!

If you've spent any time with us you know we LOVE education!

Passion

Eufora isn't just about slinging another shampoo!

The founder of the company has owned a salon and worked behind the chair.

He knows what we need.

They want to be our partners making connections and meeting common goals and they are committed to providing tools and support to help us meet those goals.

They love this industry and the impact we can have on people.

Decisions are based on "what is in the best interest of the salon professional"

Quality

Eufora utilizes the BEST cutting-edge plant and science technology.

No detail is overlooked to ensure the highest performing products that also respect the health of people and the planet.

Over 100 plant and flower extracts, essential oils and vitamins are used.

All products are aloe vera based.

Aloe Vera is moisturizing, healing and soothing it is also antibacterial, antiviral and antiseptic.

These are all great benefits to hair, skin and scalp.

100% active ingredients ZERO fillers or added water!

Integrity

There hasn't been ONE word about other companies or other sales reps.

In the last few months I have had two sales reps bash their co-workers and other salons to me.

This always makes me wonder what they are saying about me and I don't do business that way.

Eufora is focused on Eufora and their partners.

I love that!

During our first training while our educator was talking I got emotional.

They have the passion and drive we want.

They have the education we thrive for.

They have products that are beyond compare and they are on fire for our industry!

Finally, we have found a company that is a perfect fit for our salon!

Peace and love, love, love

Kallie

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

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.
