It’s been a major topic of conversation these days and you will read about in my emails. If you get a chance to log on as a new visitor on our new home page, you will get to experience the conversations all of us have been having wrapped around what really is professional? Behaviors, “the look”, the verbal skills, the manners especially have been an interesting back and forth amongst us older ones.

The basic manners have flown out of the window. How difficult is it to say “please” or “thank you” when you need something or when someone has done something nice for you? I find it a pleasure to work with my clients and to help them achieve their look. The crazy thing is amongst our newest crowd of professionals is this level of entitlement and lack of manners to say thank you for helping me. Thank you for teaching me this technique or here is a good statement that I would like to hear more often, “is there anything I can do for you?”

Remember that we are here to serve each other every day. If we make someone else’s life a little better by helping them or by helping their day be a little better because you are in it, then that is a gift. I believe that we get caught up in the hum drum of life and would like to blame others for their ho hum attitude. We make choices every day on whether we will be happy or NOT.

If you are grouchy at work or it all starts at home, your attitude will infect or affect others after you have left your haven. Notice the next time you go to work and see how others respond to you. Would this hurt your review at work by your behaviors? Maybe.

At Indulge Salon, we pride ourselves on being the best to serve others. We do get grouncy but we try not to show it. We try to show you that this is your haven away from home. A place of comfort and of knowing that you are safe to be yourself and we can help you discover who you are and who you want to be.

To your happy self!.

This is one of the newest looks provided by Loreal. We express ourselves at work with our hairstyle, makeup, and work attire. What message are you sending at work when you show up? Do you have skin showing inappropriately? Do coworkers make comments that you are ready for the bars after work? Well, I don’t really know if that is a compliment or maybe they might be trying to tell you something at work. I know that we certainly are tired of seeing all of that skin showing from clothes not fitting properly, no makeup, and hair that is not kept up as we would expect at a professional position. Over the years, I have seen the way women carry themselves this past year have gone south. Not in a good way. It appears that women seem tired, worn out from carrying the load of being a mom, provider, and coach to their children let alone trying to climb the business ladder to improve their performance at work. Whew, those are many roles to play with limited time for oneself. I often hear, your luck I made it here on time. This is a shame because we have beautiful women in York, PA that have let themselves go for the sake of others. I speak from experience with my own children growing up and I still have one at home. Either way, we have got to feel good about ourselves so that we can continue to give to others. Wearing makeup this year is very classic and is simple to do in the morning. Low maintenance yet striking for the day. We are trying to help our women in York, PA to look better so that they are paid better. There has been a study done that you can read about stating that women make more money when they appear more professional at work. I believe this and can see the results over the years. I also have noticed women that take better care of themselves along with their dress code have been treated better by coworkers and strangers that don’t even know them. Better customer service is given to the women that treat themselves better. Hairstyles are focused more on a bob such as the one you can see above with highlights, movement and texture. The longer the hair is showing with waves that lay over the shoulder. The image of the new professional is demonstrating tweed skirts, simple classic tops with heels again. The heels and boots are not to tall and yes you can still walk in them. Treatments have become available to help offset those stress wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. The harder you work, the later you stay up at night will temporarily age your skin. Think about going to be earlier and rewarding yourself with a facial peel or you could call them chemical peels that peel away the dead skin that has built up during the months of stress. If you feel totally out of control, perhaps you could try some meditation for peace and calm. Good luck with the new work look this season. Try some auburn burnished brown with a clear gloss over top to give you the shine and manageability you might be looking for which will eliminate the dry hair. All hair types need some type ofprotection over the winter months. Ask for cellophanes to help protect the skin. Call 717.846.4424 for more information on the new work look at Indulge Salon, York PA. We are located at the S George Street location..
