After what seems like an enternity, the Hazelbrook road-works are finally complete. In true Blue Mountains fashion, we celebrated with a community party under the bridge. Local MP Phil Koperberg and the NSW Minister for Roads, Michael Daley, opened the underpass this Sunday past.

The local Rotarians were there doing a sausage sizzle and as an added bonus, there was free icecream and coffee. They wouldn’t let me on the jumping castle so I took a photo in front of the firetruck instead.

Just to let you know you still have a couple of days left to use the excuse “I’m late because of the road-works” as the underpass is not yet open to traffic.

Yesterday my sister in law dropped in for a visit (from London). I’m a bit bummed that she didn’t bring her husband (my brother) with her but not to worry, I’ll see him at christmas. So never one to miss an opportunity, I pulled out a couple of colours from my new De Lorenzo colour range and styled Claire up for a day out. Of course a small photo-shoot is a must, this is my favourite shot.

Andrew is getting pretty good with that camera so my next promotion is something really special. I’m offering a FREE small photo shoot with every full price hair colour till the end October ‘09. Some conditions do apply like booking times and a photo release so call me for more details.

See you soon, Belinda.

Its’s been a long time coming but they are finally here. I think my husband was more excited than me. He must have had some time on his hands because he took this artistic still-life photo of the delivery boxes. To me that’s slightly disturbing…

I bought the entire De Lorenzo colour range so whatever colour you want, I’m ready for it.

See you soon, Belinda.

Just enough time for a photo shoot after a hair colour. Hunter played up a little for the camera.

Drum roll please… after a year of 6am starts, cold winter mornings, stuffy train rides, hectic class schedules and a couple of bleeding fingers, I am proud to announce my completion of Cert III in hairdressing. I can honestly say that I have loved at least every second minute of my college days. Last week I said an emotional goodbye to my teachers, classmates and collected my gold embossed certificate – my husband refers to it as that expensive bit of paper (oh alright my husband has been my biggest supporter, he even insisted on coming with me to take a photo).

This is really an exciting time for me, I have pretty much completed what I set out to do a couple of years back – create my very own Beauty and Hair Salon close to home. I know that I still have a way to go before I’m chopping with the best of them but I know I’m off to a good start. But having said that, I think that my hair colouring skills are pretty darn good, I seam to have clicked with colouring and I really enjoy it. Who knows, I may become a colour specialist…

Last but not least, I would like to thank all my wonderful clients for being so patient with my rotating open times and for being so encouraging and supportive while I have been studying.

Back to normal hours, with a hairdressing emphasis on Tuesday/Wednesday. See you all soon for a Colour and Cut.
