The Hardest Part Is DONE!
Yesterday I completed the hardest part about our move to France: telling my clients! (For those who don’t know, I own a salon in Santa Monica.)
No, really, that was THE.HARDEST.PART for me! I’m a people pleaser to my core so the thought of my clients being upset with me for moving and “abandoning” them didn’t feel comfortable to me.
But now it’s done! And there hasn’t really been any negative backlash (I had feared that some clients wouldn’t want to continue with me knowing that I was going to be gone). I think the fact that I am going to be traveling back every 6 weeks to be in the salon for a week is helping. And we’re also adding a lot of people to our staff as we continue to grow but also accommodate my clients.
The rest is going to be a piece of cake!
The Trans-Atlantic Hairdresser! There will be waiting lists a mile long for an appointment on your Santa Monica weeks.
Hope you don’t put too much stress on yourself going backwards and forwards Frank, especially if you will be working in France too.
Frank,
Keep meaning to write you a comment. I am so happy for you with this move and congratulations for following your heart. I know you will be happy an love it. Interesting that you’ll be coming back every 6 weeks to work. WOW. Your clients will be so happy to see you.
Wishing you all the best. I’ve been “with” you since before Oliver and have enjoyed every minute.

Thanks Marcia! I appreciate that! (And maybe my clients being happy to see me will make up for the guilt from telling them I’m leaving!)
Man! I JUST moved to Los Angeles! LOL I have ‘known’ you for years thanks to sewing Mamas
I hope you guys have a terrific adventure!!! <3
All of your favorite clients can just call and schedule for your week in LA. So you’ll be swamped with work one week out of six. You’ll need to go home just so you can relax.
