As I sit down to write this blog post, a wave of mixed emotions washes over me. It's with both a heavy heart & a sense of excitement that I announce the closure of Sheariously Salon, a place that has been my second home for the past 10 years & behind the chair for 17. Being the SHE-EO of this salon has been a true delight & I am forever grateful for the incredible journey it has taken me on.
The relationships I've formed with my clients over the years are priceless. Each time I stood behind the chair, it was not just about cutting, styling & colouring hair; it was about connecting with individuals, hearing their stories & being a part of their lives. The bond we created will forever be treasured & I am humbled by the trust you placed in me to bring out your best selves. I have came to realized I have attachment issues & has crushed my heart/soul in a ways I never experienced before.
One of the reasons I chose to operate my salon from home was to prioritize my role as a mother & provider for my family. It allowed me the flexibility to be present in my son's life & ensure his well-being. Sheariously Salon gave me the freedom to strike a balance between pursuing my passion for hair artistry & being there for my loved ones.
However, as life moves forward, so do our priorities & aspirations. Over the past two years, I have found myself gradually drifting away from the beauty industry. While it has been a tough decision, I have come to the realization that I no longer align with the direction & became resentful/complacent [That's a me thing] It is time for me to embark on a new path, one that promises both mental & financial security & allows me to prioritize my own personal growth & well-being.
Closing Sheariously Salon doesn't mean the end of my journey; rather, it marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. As I take this time off during the summer to recover & rejuvenate from surgery, I plan to set myself up for new job opportunities. I want to explore fresh avenues that align more closely with my evolving passions & values.
Change is never easy, especially when it involves bidding farewell to something as dear to my heart as Sheariously & Guest connections. But I firmly believe that in order to grow & thrive, we must be willing to embrace change & step out of our comfort zones. It is only by doing so that we can truly discover our full potential & find fulfillment in our lives.
To my incredible Guests, thank you from the bottom of my heart for entrusting me with your hair, your stories & your friendship. The memories we've created together will forever hold a special place in my heart. Although the physical doors of Sheariously will close, our connection remains unbroken. I am here for you & I hope you know that I cherish each & every one of you.
As I embark on this new journey, embracing change, & following new passions & prioritizing my well-being. I will continue to uplift & support one another, even as our paths diverge. Together, we can create a world where personal growth & happiness are paramount. MINDSET OVER MIRROR!
Thank you for being a part of my Sheariously story. Here's to new beginnings, endless possibilities & a future filled with joy, fulfillment & peace.
With love & gratitude,
Sin-Sheariously, Jami
