April 2014

Spring is here ... and April is upon us. It is amazing how the months seem to fly by! Ugggh, it's almost tax time.

My wife and I agreed that we would NOT do anything too mischievous today ... we went to dance practice early, had a light breakfast out, and then a training session with our coach.

Be sure to check my schedule below ... I'll be out of the salon during the second half of May, and briefly in late June. I want to be sure everyone is properly coiffed.

Bill Rose Photography

As many of you know, photography is one of my great interests. I take tens of thousands of images every year ... portraits for my business website and social media; ballroom dance competitions; travel and family pictures; nature and landscapes.

It was time to create a website focusing specifically on my photography. Check out the wide variety of images, including the latest technique ... HDR. I am available for many types of photographic assignments ... give me a call.

The Latest from the Salon

... Two Long-Distance Clients

Jess ... returned to SoCal briefly, from her home in Phoenix, and I was able to capture some wonderful images of her latest cut and highlights. Although it still shows an "A-line" influence, it has a very classical feeling which suits Jess perfectly. I think this looks like a magazine cover!

Tiffany ... during her most recent trip from San Francisco, I took pictures

of her newest cut which I included in my February eBulletin.

One of the images inspired this terrific new website cover page. It is both classic and edgy!

Thanks to both Jess and Tiffany!

Call Salon

Best Way to ...

Contact Me

I love hearing from my clients, especially if there is an important question, or an idea to share. Here are the best options to use:

Call Salon ... The BEST method is to call the salon front desk and speak to one of the receptionists. They can give you immediate assistance. If you have a question, or are unsure of how to "book" an appointment, they will come to my station and ask. They can also give me a quick message if your timing is a factor, such as running behind schedule or traffic issues.

Text Message ... this method is GOOD if reaching me is not urgent. I typically keep my cell phone near while in the salon, but often the ambient sound level keeps me from hearing the notification when a message arrives. But I often check my cell phone frequently, so will see the message within a few hours ... worst case.

Voice Message ... this method is also GOOD, but the same challenge applies affecting my being aware of my cell phone ringing in the salon environment. But I will see messages when I check my phone.

Email ... GOOD method if an immediate reply is not required. Usually I receive my emails on my home computer when I get home from the salon. This method works great for asking questions or sharing ideas when a quick response is not important.

Facebook (Linkedin or other Social Media) ... POOREST method! I infrequently check these, so I may not see a message for days, or weeks. But this is great for comments about images I've posted "From the Salon"!

Thru July 2014 . . .

I will not be traveling further for USA Dance as my term as Senior Vice-President has ended. It was a hectic 6 years ... with many aspects which opened up wonderful opportunities. But ... there was also the tedious and difficult side, which I will not miss! It is now time to re-concentrate myself to my wife & family and of course my salon business.
