The year 2008 in review

I have truly been busy this past year and what a year it has been. I have been busy answering your emails, taking your calls morning, noon and night, consoling those in need of help, answering questions from other consultants/trainess and clients, and I am still working 7 days a week and I love it.

My grandfather, Palmer Lee Talley Sr. passed and so did Archie's aunt, Alma Powell. We will truly miss them both and will never forget the lessons that they have taught us.

My twin sister got Sisterlockstm. Sorry, no pictures of my sister yet. She is blond and beautiful and she is a Sisterlocks trainee going to school to be a nurse. She sounds like me. Busy and doing what she loves


We donated to a very worth while charity during our holiday party. Alternatives for girls is a nonprofit organization located in southwest Detroit. It serves homeless and high-risk girls and young women with safte shelter, educational support, vocational guidance, mentoring (which is close to my heart) and counseling. Check them out at http://www.alternativesforgirls.org/


We started in what is fondly known as shop 1 with 3 chairs. Now we have settled into our new, 3000 sqft (yes, that is three thousand square feet) location providing all natural services with plenty of parking, 1 mile north of 696 freeway at 26125 Greenfield Rd, Southfield, MI 248 552 6288. There are 13 chairs, a spa pedicure chair, a private room (for those that require privacy) and a very nice bathroom. Also note that the bathroom has seat covers. (smile)

We welcomed truly international clients some from as far away as Brampton Ontario and Braunschweig Germany. Yes Germany. He flies first class every 9 weeks to get his hair done at Locks4Life. I know that sounds unbelieveable. So I have attached his picture.





What a difference a year makes. This was Ashlee and me after last years Christmas Party.

This year, Ashlee, my precious gift from above got Sisterlockstm. Yes, she did have to wait several weeks until our schedules corrdinated. It took 3 sessions because we had to squeeze her in between the paying clients. Robin and Atoya and myself all had a hand in helping. She wished she had done it sooner.

Now my whole family has locks and we can all finally ride in the car on a nice summer afternoon with the windows down.




Martina, one of my oldest clients who is truly a full circle client came back for some maintenance. She was one of my qualifying heads who stated her hair would never grow. That was 4 years ago.





Look at it now. Martina has since moved to Arizona and maintains her own hair. She comes back to Michigan about twice a year and she always stops by to see me/us. My family loves her.


















We are offering Threading Services for temporary hair removal and Henna Temporary Tattoos. Threading is gaining in popularity as it is neater, cleaner & lasts longer than waxing or plucking those unwanted hairs. There is no stubble or shadow or ingrown hairs. It is fast but I warn you. You do feel it. But as I have been told, beauty is pain. It hurts but just as you think you can't take any more, she is done.







These are the photos of the henna tattoo. She did it all free hand and it lasted about 2 weeks.







All that and more happened last year. You just can't stop Gods' plans. Stay tuned.
