Happy New Years
New Years greetings to you all and here's hoping you all have had a great Christmas break, spending time with friends and family. Kat, Carmelita and I managed to take some time off over the month. After a busy lead up to Christmas, it was certainly well deserved.
The return of local businesses is the first sign of people/families returning from their holidays. We've had a very good month, particularly with our back to school promotion. Lots of families have taken advantage of it and because we've had such a great response will be running it till the 13th February.

Fairytale Hair Day by Carmelita
In December Kat and I (Carmelita) had the oppotunity to run the Salon for a day, which was an exciting venture. We decided to have a fun day offering all the girls hair braids based around well known fairy tale princesses, and called it the "Fairytale Hair Day''. We had to put our heads together to work out what hair styles we were going to offer on the day, and materials we would need to make it work and once we put our plan together we showed it to the big boss Ann, who then gave us a thumbs up to go ahead.
The Fairytale Hair Day was held on the same day as the Khandallah Village Fair 13th of December. Both Kat and I were nervous about our very first business venture but once the girls started coming in for their braids we relaxed and found that it was so much fun. We had pictures of braided styles for the girls to choose from and we also offered hair chalk and Feather bead extentions which were a huge hit with the girls.
The most popular hair style for the day were the Feather bead extentions which were inspired by Pocohontas. We had all sorts of colored feathers and beads for the girls to choose from which we attached to the end of small braids. The Waterfall hair braid and the Headband french braids were the next favourites inspired by Aerial the little mermaid and Anna from Frozen, many of the girls then added the Feather bead extentions as well for fun dual hairstyles.
The Fairytale hair day was awesome, Kat and I really enjoyed running the event and we look forward to the next time we do a similar day in the future.
