Tis the Season of Thanks In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I wanted to sit down and write out a thank you note—dedicated to each and every one of you. Many of you have been with me from the beginning; from my days at Mitchell’s before my passion for hair extensions really took over my business. You all have stuck with me through countless changes over the years, from different locations, to the building of Garnish, to where we are now. Some of you are new to the Garnish family, and it’s never easy to experience transition within a business with…

Tis the Season of Giving Nominate-a-Family The holidays are upon us, and while it is a time of joy and celebration for many of us—for some in our community the holidays can be extra stressful.

He started working with Candice when she had her own studio, and in those days he not only answered the phone and booked appointments, but he became known as a shampoo god and assistant extraordinaire. Ray was with Candice throughout the entire process of building Garnish and opening the…

Back to School: The Mom Edition For most of us it probably feels like Summer just began, but every mom is wondering whether it’s August yet, and is counting down the hours to the First Day of School. If your kiddos are in year round school, they may have already begun (if so, congrats to you), but if you’re still on the traditional calendar Summer likely becomes consumed with trips to the pool, family vacations (never really a vacation for Mom), and finding ways to entertain the kids.
