Julia Kieley at FATE and Co.

𝑨 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍, 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝑰𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕📲

My goal for 2026 was to make a more intentional effort to keep work at work, so I can be the best version of myself for my fiancé, our pup, and my family and friends.
One of the biggest things I’ve noticed impacting that goal is the volume of people who contact me directly to book appointments, make changes, or ask questions.

I am genuinely so grateful for every single person who sits in my chair or supports our salon in any capacity. I truly mean that. But one of my biggest regrets when I started in this industry six years ago was using my personal cell number and personal social media accounts for business purposes.

Since opening FATE, we have spent countless hours building systems that make booking and communicating with the salon as easy as possible. Our website is designed to be simple to navigate, with services broken down as clearly as we can, and the option to book by service or by service provider. We put a lot of effort into keeping this information current and making the booking process as seamless as possible. In saying that - we are always open to changes. If you have any suggestions on how to make booking easier on our site, we are always open ears 👂

We also have receptionists available during salon hours who can answer questions, help with bookings, make changes to appointments, and assist with anything else you may need.

So, as we go from one busy wedding season into another busy holiday season, my genuine plea is that you 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙚𝙗𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙙/𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙙𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜-𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨, 𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙢𝙮 𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙥𝙝𝙤𝙣𝙚, 𝙩𝙚𝙭𝙩, 𝙚𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙡, 𝙤𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖.

I receive calls and texts when I’m off work, out of town, on vacation, and spending time with my family. I’ve had clients call my personal number from their work phones because I didn’t respond to a text quickly enough. I’ve even answered my phone to calls coming from the hospital, genuinely thinking something had happened to a loved one or that I was receiving an important medical update, only to find out it was a client calling from their work number regarding a hair appointment. That is an incredibly unsettling feeling to experience, regardless of the circumstances. And, yes, I have also even been woken up in the middle of the night by calls to my personal number simply to book an appointment.

At this point, it has become too much, and it’s a boundary I need to put in place. That is why I feel the need to address this publicly.

For a long time, I’ve operated under the belief that I signed up for this when I chose to become a business owner. And while I absolutely understand the responsibility that comes with owning a business, I’m realizing that being a business owner doesn’t mean I have to be available 24/7.

𝘽𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙤𝙬𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙪𝙣𝙥𝙡𝙪𝙜, 𝙩𝙤𝙤.

I promise you, our website and reception team can assist you much faster than a message sitting in my personal inbox for days because I’m off work, with my family, or simply unavailable.

I say all of this with an immense amount of love and appreciation for every single one of you. ❤️ Please contact the salon directly for bookings, appointment changes, questions, and anything else related to your appointments.

Thank you for respecting this boundary and, more importantly, for allowing me the space to be present in the parts of my life that exist outside of work. It means more than you know.

With love,
Ju

Hi friends, just hopping on for an update before I head into a busy summer season! This is going to be a longer post - apologies! A lot of my clients really appreciate these types of posts.

I haven’t been super active on my socials the last few months - my 2026 goal was to try my best to separate work life from home life, as much as one can do that while being a business owner, I experienced extreme burnout in 2025 and resulted in a lot of mental health days. My fiancee has began working away again on long rotations of 5 weeks away, 12 days home. Last year, when he worked this same rotation, I spent a lot of the 5 week rotations at the salon doing “extra” so I could justify being off an additional few days while he was home. This year is very different, as Janey, our salon dog, no longer enjoys spending her days at FATE & Co, and would much rather stay home and be a couch potato (can’t blame her!!). Because of this, I’m spending more time working from home on the business side of things, and less time working behind the chair.

As we head into the summer months (just missing the consistent summer weather, lol), I’d like to remind clients to please prebook your appointments well in advance. Due to working less behind the chair, it’s crucial that you book your next 2 appointments to ensure you get your desired appointment time - extension maintenance girlies, or anyone who has longer appointments (ie extension removal + colour/foils + reinstall), I’m especially talking to you! My schedule behind the chair, is currently Tuesdays 3pm-8pm, Wednesdays 9am-5pm, and Thursdays 3pm-8pm with a scatter Friday available for Bridal Trials (by request only). You’ll also find me in the salon most Mondays 9am-5pm, and Thursdays 10am-3pm doing admin work. I do not offer any weekend availability, often times I head out of town if I don’t have a wedding. I cannot take clients outside of this set schedule as other staff members are using my chair on my opposite schedule.

My summer holidays this year start on July 10th, to the 20th, and I’ll return back to work on July 21st. My availability between now and then is extremely limited. I have space for a few colours, and smaller appointments like Weft Move Ups, Haircuts & Consults. My next foil appointment as of right now is July 22nd, and my next big evening slot is August 4th. If you’d like to add yourself to my waitlist, you can do so on our website or by calling the salon directly. Waitlisted clients will get first priority if a space opens up vs clients in my inbox.

2026 is my biggest wedding year since I started offering Bridal Services. I currently have 20 brides on the books, and 2 of them are already completed. If you know me, you know that bridal is where my heart is, and I take an immense amount of pride in the systems I’ve created & my skill in styling. To keep myself super organized, I have created google forms linked to spreadsheets for all bridal inquiries. To inquire about pricing, availability, etc, please fill out the corresponding form for your wedding year & I’ll do my best to get back to you with package details. These links are available for brides looking for hair, and/or makeup.

I’ve had a ton of questions about our extension line, FATE Hair Extensions, and when we will be relaunching our extensions to the public. Keep an eye to our social media for any updates.

As per scheduling appointments, it’s extremely recommend to use our website to browse availability and book your desired time slot & service. Our booking site has been thoughtfully curated to benefit both us, and our clients. We are always open ears if you have any recommendations on how to make your experience with us easier. If you are unsure what to book, or cannot figure out how to navigate our website, please contact the salon via call or text at 709-743-3164 and someone will get back to you during business hours. As always, most clients also have my direct personal cell number to contact me, but if I’m out of the salon, I’ll most likely direct you to the front desk & they can look after you. My personal line is often backed up with tons of messages from family & friends, so it’s easy for clients to get lost in my inbox or not receive a response at all. I often will post last minute availability (most times with discounts attached), important info, or even model calls in my channel on IG, if you haven’t joined it yet, I’d highly recommend!

I hope everyone has a lovely week!
