SHAWZAE NEW YEAR ON CUSTOM WIGS, EXTENSIONS, AND NATURAL HAIR

It has been a blast to be part of the beauty industry  and creating those beautiful custom wigs.  I want to thank those that supported me,  to help me stay creative.  The new trend that came out of 2016 was the 360 closure,  now I am on the slow bus for getting them in my boutique,  but they are on the way lol.  I will have a few 360 closure coming my way,  so you will see them soon in my Boutique.  I know why the ladies love them so much, you can part your hair any where, and wear your hair pulled up.  I love that.   Ladies it's not just about wearing extensions,  you can be apart of the billion dollar business.   I am looking forward to my natural hair course this year also,  because no matter what wigs, or extensions,  we need our natural hair to survive.   The new website will be up soon.  We want you to learn how to braid hair safety without damaging the clients hair.

SHAWZAE NOT JUST ABOUT HAIR WE HANDCRAFT JEWELRY

I love staying busy,  so when I am not working on making custom wigs,  I am back working on my handcrafted jewelry.  When I move to Florida,  I lost my clients and market for my handcrafted jewelry,  however,  I found the passion again to work on my handcrafted jewelry.  You will see special one of a kind jewelry pieces as I continue to grow my brand Shawzae   I am following my dreams as a designer,  and I like to think of myself as crafty so I get my hands in a lot of things,  especially hair, health and beauty products.  We also started a perfume collection as well,  so whatever it is you want to do,  find time,  make time and start doing it.    

HOW TO EDUCATE YOUR CLIENTS ON NATURAL HAIR CARE: SUBJECT VIXEN SEWIN OR VERTICAL SEWIN

We are so bless to have hair of every texture,  and I personally love our natural hair on all females,  so it's no wonder I want you to take care of it,  and I want to help you.  When clients come to you for a sewin, and they have no edges or thin edges, it is our responsibility to educate then on what works and don't work.   We want to take care of those edges,  by educating the client that the style may not be appropriate for her edges,  and you can suggest the vixen or vertical sewin that will elevate pressure on her edges.   The vixen or vertical sewin will allow you to leave hair out,  and doing so it takes the pressure off the weak area  and put it in the stronger area.  The vixen or vertical sewin look very natural,  and it will allow the clients to continue taking care of their edges.   You can suggest products to your clients such as the edge control to keep the edges flat so that your client will have a flawless look.   We will be teaching vixen sewin which is also known as the vertical sewin to our students at Shawzae.    This is a natural hair care tip to prevent more damages to thin edges or to protect someone with no edges.   Educating your clients is very important in the hair business,  and it's something that we all have to do to stop damaging natural hair.   Vixen or vertical sew in can be done on short hair as well.  Let's learn to love natural hair.

THE MAKING OF SENSUAL LADY BY SHAWZAE

This is an amazing time for Shawzae,  because we are not just in the hair business, we also create other crafty products such as health and beauty, cosmetic, jewelry and perfumes.  Perfumes are something new that we are trying out,  and the first perfume that was created was great.  We got some good responses from the ladies that have received this perfume as a free gift.   We gave away over twenty bottles to get some feedback as to the smell,  how long it last, so that we can produce more perfumes.  The feedback was great, the only problem we encounter was that the bottles leaked when they were in the handbags.  We used the roll on bottles,  and for some reason if you put the bottles in your purse, they leak,, so you will end up with one great smelling handbag.  Watch the video on how I made this great smelling perfume.

Shop with us at http//www.etsy.com/shop/shawzaeboutique.   We will be changing the bottles for the next bash of perfumes,  but you can still purchase some of the perfumes we have left.  This is an all natural perfume, smell great.

HOW TO CARE FOR BRAIDED HAIR WITH EXTENSIONS

The first thing to remember is not to leave braids in for more than 4-6 weeks,  secondly educate your clients that tighter is not better.  Braiding hair too tight and keeping braids in too long will damage your natural hair.  Now, let's talk about how to care for braids with extensions.   Most people do not want to wash their hair while they have braids because they believe that it will fizz up,  however, washing and conditioning your hair two weeks after you get your braids will help eliminate dryness and  help to keep your hair follicles strong.  If you are concern with hair frizzing,  wear a stocking cap or wig cap for thirty minutes to lay down the hair,  make sure the cap that you use is breathable.
Applying a small amount to the scalp daily will also help to keep hair follicles from looking dry, dull, and lifeless and will keep your hair from thinning when the braids are removed.  There are a lot of strong ladies coming out allowing you to see what happens when you don't take care of your hair. Letting someone braid your hair too tight because you want it to last for two months is definitely a no,  or just leaving your hair in braids for 2 or 3 months to save money is definitely a no.  Braids are beautiful so let keep them looking beautiful and healthy by washing, and conditioning our hair.  You may not know this but products are another key factor in taking care of your hair,  so put good in to get good out.  

Note:  Our hair braiding school will start in a couple of months,  and we are here to teach you how to braid hair to prevent hair loss.   There is a technique to safe braiding.  If you have any question leave me a comment or email me at emurray310@gmail.com    Hair braiding is in our future and has been in our past for generations,  so it's not going anywhere,  so building safe braiding habits and natural hair care is a most.  
                                             
                                              Look at this picture,  the hair is braided too tight,
                                              so lets not do this.

Natural Hair Care and Custom Wigs For The Fall Season

Fall and winter can be brutal to our natural hair,  creating dryness,  brittleness and thinning which will cause hair loss.   We also have some trending custom style wigs for the fall.   These custom wigs can help relieve tension on the natural hair.  I read a few days ago wigs are becoming the new extensions.  A lot of ladies are wearing wig now to relieve stress on their natural hair.  Here are some tips to caring for the natural hair,   because our skin gets so dry in the fall and winter,  the main thing to do with natural hair is to keep it clean and moist.   Jojoba oil is a powerful  remedy that has been used for hundreds of years, it has a powerful effect on hair growth.   Saw Palmetto is known to block  formation of dihydrotesterone which kills hormone that kill hair follicles.  Rosemary  with almond  or coconut oil is a great health provider for natural hair and scalp.  Eumi oil is another oil that is highly recommended  for the natural hair and scalp.   Remember the best way to take care of natural hair is to keep it clean and scalp moisturize.  For constant styles and color changes,  you may want to wear a custom wig to relieve the stress off the natural hair.

SHAWZAE ON CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RESOURCING YOUR HAIR

Customer service is one of the most important aspect of any business.   In business,  you will have problems occurring at time,  but it's what you do after the problem has occurred.  I was told once that it's not what happen,  but how you handle it afterwards  that matter to the customers.
Lets's talk about resourcing your hair,  I am a wig designer so I have to find the best quality hair that I can afford for my customers.   One of the things,  I discovered in this process is that some of the business owners do diminish the quality of hair for other business owners.   I make it my business to read review on other businesses to see what their customers are saying about their business and the quality of hair that they are getting from them.  I realized that no matter how much money you pay for custom wigs,  or regardless of how much people tend to market the products as the best,  sometime they fall short.   As a customer,  I am looking for quality hair for me, and my customers.  I want to pass onto them quality hair,  and affordability.   I personally will never pay over $250 for any type of hair no matter what the company say.   I will never charge my customer any more money than I would pay myself,  and I am going to tell you why.   One of the reasons are if you don't care for your hair it's going to go bad no matter how much money you paid.  Second reason is in the nape of your neck,  you going to sweat because you have the hair coming down your back,  which mean it's going to tangle.   Human hair gets tangle,  so if you are purchasing human hair,  then you should know that it's going to get tangle unless it is processed so that it doesn't which  mean that they have put something on the hair.   You should think of human hair as your own natural hair,  which get tangle and matted if not care for.   Third  reason is that company mislead you about human hair,  and the reasons that some hair don't work out for the customers is because the human hair it self may not be good quality hair,  even though  it's human hair.  A  business owner should know that these problems are going to occur,  and when it dose give the best customer service that is possible,  and don't overcharge for your products,  when you know that the products is not as you say,  or put down other business owners.   We should also remember that even when you do this there are some people that you just can't get through or help.

NEW MOBILE SERVICE AT SHAWZAE

I am so excited about this new mobile service.  My decision to do a mobile service is based on several clients that inspired me.  I want to give this service to the ladies whom can't travel out, and for those who want a boutique and personal service.    There are a lot of complaints about the salons, and there services, so this is a great time to make a move on a mobile service.  People want to get away from salons that are noisy  and unprofessional at least that's what I am told.  I would recommend this service to all salons,  because it's also a way to expand your brand and services to different counties in your area without the overhead,  it's the prefect solution.   There are a couple of things that you will want to resolve before you start the mobile service,  and that's the distant you will cover,  and payment for services.   I recommend that you get a percentage of the payment for the services while booking the appointment,  because it ensures the commitment on both parties.  I also suggest that you make sure you can cover the locations by getting  a address to each client to make sure they are not two far out.   I am really excited about this new chapter.   We will be offering the service in North Carolina and Virginia.
