My mother was a home maker, my father was a Coal Miner who later in his late 30's

 became employed at Pittsburgh Plate Glass in the Fiber Glass Department and is my hero.

As many daughters are, I was a daddies girl and with my own daughter

I can see she is her dad's daddies girl. She is my best friend. 

There are two children I have been blessed giving birth to, one son and one daughter.

They blessed us with four grandsons. One who we raised, my son's child, the oldest of the grandsons , Joshua. 

I am very family orientated and a Reborn Again Christian. God is so prevalent in my life that

I could build another website just about Him always being there for me. I am a member of the Bethany Methodist Church,  Rustburg, Virginia.

Strangely enough, I also can be considered a Baptist because the wonderful Rev. Glynn Coleman of the First Monroe

 Baptist Church Monroe, Virginia and he is my deliverer towards the step ladder to Jesus. As a child

I was taught about Jesus in a United Methodist Church, my teacher was Helen Engle who to this day

I acknowledge as introducing God to me. I have been asked about this very often. 

Please note that my acknowledgment of Jesus is not intended to be impervious or reflect on anyone's Spiritual beliefs.

I have been asked if this website is a hobby.

The answer to that is that I guess you could consider it to be in part.

I consider a hobby as something you enjoy doing outside of work that brings

 gratification and relaxation. However I very much regard and treat this website as as a dedicated business.

I have chosen to personally create my website for several reasons:

I felt that no one could put into my website the facts and feelings behind it that I wanted to do.

It may not be all that posh; but it is me.

Being independent, I am not a Franchise nor do I have multiple hair replacements mirror websites under different names.

I am honest, upfront, caring and sincere.

Dedicating my life to God I wanted Him to be part of my website as we are to show and share God's love with others.

I wanted my website personable, gracious and welcoming.

Why do I do this? Wow, what a strong question this has been. 

First of all I suppose I could say that I love people and truly desire to deliver

happiness and self-confidence for their well being, beautification and self-esteem.

This is like asking me why I became a hairstylist.  Devoting my given talent for the benefit of others.

Secondly, my mother was severely ill with Stomach Cancer that lead to her Pancreas and Liver.

 My sister and I stood beside our mother to the end and with all of her Chemo Treatments,

Radiation Treatments, side effects, and surgeries. We experienced all of the fears, questions and apprehensions by her side.

That was some time ago and it is so magnificent that the Medical Profession has progressed and advanced so much that

 people can now recover to the fullest. Be it Cancer, Heart or another Medical Condition.

The day she called telling me her hair was falling out, then later to tell me it had all fallen out is

a time I will never forget. My mother always loved to go to the hairdresser every week and

 her hair was always styled pretty. Through her;

I deeply understand how those who suffer from hair loss undergo such tender feelings.   

When I told her I would buy her a wig she told me no, that she would not wear it.

 I could never match her color or her hairstyle and it would not be like having her own hair.

 Well then, I said to her, that I would buy her one anyway and being a hairstylist

I had the ability to know how buy one just like her hair. I told her she did not have

to wear it but that I wanted her to have it "just in case".  I asked her to just try it

 on when she received it. (I lived out of town and (back then) it took approximately 3 weeks delivery )

She wore it to the end and  I put it on her when we said good-bye.

Upon receiving her wig she telephoned me and the excitement in her voice

of having hair again consoled me as having done the right thing for her.

So, I later established a hair replacement business within my salon since I had experienced very

special cares and feelings from someone very close to me. I wanted to help others in the same way.

About two years before closing my salon

 I decided to branch out and provide my services, experiences

and products over a website. Now this was a challenge!! Hairstylists of my generation were not taught computers.

I owe the beginning of this computer knowledge to my daughter who

INSISTED that our salon become computerized. She then taught me,

 against my will (smile) how to use a computer.

 Now it is comical, then it was NOT!

After the many hours of learning and being so persevering the computer was messing up,,,,THAT IT WAS NOT ME!

 I taught myself word perfect, letter writing. Whew!

Later the salon hired a receptionist who knew how to do all of these neat designs and creations

by the way of salon brochures, inserting pictures and all that fun stuff.

When something catches my interest and curiosity I am the type that says "hey, I can do that".

Then I had to "convince" myself that I could. Well I did accomplish some things and it was the coolest kind of pride.

I then began all of my own salon advertising creations for the news papers, colleges and such.

THEN I really did it and purchased my own computer.

It is the balm! After having to do total restores on my computer 4 times due to my own computer illiteracy,

and the fine support that Compaq (my first computer) gave I learned my computer inside and out.

Then came the in home business website goal.  Whew...Whew. Self taught.

A lot of reading, studying and fowl ups, redoing and deleting and hours and hours of work.  But I did it and here we are now.

I was hopeful but sincerely never really thought that in this big world of websites that

my own would ever be looked at. Not to mention anyone purchasing anything from it.

Therefore, I feel so very blessed with all of the communications that have evolved around

my website and it's popularity in purchases. I thank you and am so grateful for your trust and repeat orders.

Hoping that this answers your questions and inquisitive thoughts about me and this website.

And hey! I thank you for wondering and asking.

The song I chose for this page further expresses my deep feelings and love for others. Dunbar "Dances With Wolves" .

 If you saw the movie maybe you can figure out why I chose the song. 

I hope you have enjoyed listening to it. No Matter What, God Loves You and So Do I.

There are spiritual graphics and verses on this website because

I love Jesus and we are never to be ashamed of showing that love just as he is not ashamed of us.

The little "Cutie" Characters on the bottom of the web pages are there to make people smile.

 We all can use a bit cheer from time to time.

The music is meant to be relaxing.

If you are planning a visit to the salon for a wig or hairpiece and are interested in a specific style and color please let me know and I will be sure to have it in stock for you. Thank you.

Have a Blessed Day,

Alice
