Tips for Successful Hair Appointments
Andi Manuilow, Salon GW
With the holidays quickly approaching one thing is going to
be harder to get than this years hottest gift, a hair appoint-
ment. It’s the most wonderful (and photographed) time of
the year, so I wanted to share a few tips to make booking
your next salon visit easy!
1. Prebook in advance. This is so important! This is
such a busy time of year and we can get caught-up in the
hustle, but waiting to book your appointment until the last
minute could result in getting fit-in, and potentially not hav-
ing enough time to create the hair of your dreams.
2. Give details. Giving the person booking the appoint-
ment as much information as possible will help make the
most of your time by booking the service properly. Things
like hair thickness, density, length and health all matter
when booking. Is this a maintenance visit or a makeover? A
dramatic color change will take longer than a root retouch
and needs to be booked accordingly.
3. Book a consultation. I just wanted a few highlights,
why so many questions? Hair lingo can get confusing,
and it’s important to book the appropriate amount of time
needed. That new hair trend you’re seeing all over Pinterest
may actually take hours to achieve, or even multiple visits.
Not sure what you need? A quick, complimentary visit to
the salon can help you figure out what plan best suits your
unique needs. Ask your salon if they do virtual consultations
if visiting prior isn’t an option.
I hope this information is helpful to you when prebooking
your next visit. Have a happy and healthy holiday season!

Dunedin Times 11(Halloween Safety Continued from page 4) Some additional tips and ideas for celebrating safely based on your risk zone color, found on The Hershey Company’s Halloween website HersheyHappiness.com and also Hal- loween2020.org, include: Yellow zones Focus on trick-or-treat safety. A Halloween neighbor- hood parade is a good option for yellow zones. Organize a neighborhood costume parade where the route is predeter- mined and marked to maintain safe distances between par- ticipants. Stay safe by incorporating sanitization stations, yellow caution tape, 6-foot sidewalk stickers/tape and age group signs. Or, do the reverse and have kids decked out in their costumes in the front yard as neighbors walk or drive by and deliver candy from a safe distance. Orange zones For orange-zone communities, let the treats come to you. Trick-or-treat in reverse by having kids wear their cos- tumes in the front yard as neighbors walk or drive by and deliver candy. Another option is a trick-or-treat drive-by where you wear costumes and then drive to visit friends and family in costume and deliver some treats! Honk, text or shout upon arrival and deliver some treats or tricks in costume to your favorite folks! Red zones At-home celebrations are safest for red zones. Consider planning a Halloween movie night or a virtual costume party. You can also make this a special time with a scav- enger hunt throughout your home. Create different themed rooms throughout the house and send the kids on a scav- enger hunt for fun swag. Hide candy, toys and prizes or even make some gift certificates to stay up late, choose the movie or eat an extra piece of candy. Keep the big kids en- gaged with trickier clues and fun age-appropriate rewards. Even with the extra precautions and adjustments needed to ensure a safe celebration, Halloween 2020 still promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. In fact, a Halloween such as this won’t happen again for at least another 152 years. Not only does Halloween 2020 fall on a Saturday, it also happens to be a full moon and daylight saving time. Additionally, the day occurs during a blue moon this year, the second full moon of October. 12 Dunedin Times

Happy girl Mookie has been in a foster home for the

been doing great! Her foster family told us...
“She loves her two doggie foster brothers and doggie
foster sister. If she is not playing with Kira and Henry,
she is laying on the couch wither her older foster broth-
er Cap. She take queues from the other dogs and does
really well with each one so we strongly recommend
she have a dog friend in her forever home.
Mookie is fully potty trained. She still will not whine to
go out, but she will go lay by the door. She is a wonder-
ful medium sized dog who thinks every dog she meets
is her best friend. We think she would do okay in a
house with a cat, but the cat needs to let her know that
it’s in charge or the cat needs to be tolerant of Mook-
ie’s shenanigans. She would not do well with a cat that
does not want to be bothered.”
