La Bellezza Boutique

Friends,

I want to express my sincerest appreciation for each and every one of you. You have been a huge part of the success of my career/business for the last 24 years.

It is with mixed emotions that I am announcing my retirement from hair and the beauty industry.

I can’t have imagined when my journey in this industry began that I would be here today feeling as blessed and fulfilled as I do.

It has been an honor to have served you and your beauty needs, but more than that it has been a true gift to have had you all in my life. Many of you have shared with me the ups and downs that life’s Journey takes us all on. From love, losses, marriages, births, proms, graduations, grandchildren and so much more. I can’t thank you all enough for the love and support you have so generously given me during some of the hardest times in my life! Your smiles, kind words and caring hugs were sometimes all that kept me standing some days. You are forever written in my story. I will not forget the trust you placed in me, your understanding, your patience, and most of all your friendship and prayers.

I would also like to thank Michelle Vogel for introducing me to this wonderful craft and being the inspiration that started me in this industry. Michael Fleming for being the supportive guidance I needed to become the stylist and business owner I am today. All the amazing stylists, aestheticians, nail techs, assistants, etc. who have worked alongside me over the years. Thank you for your inspiration, guidance, and your friendship.

Lastly I would like to Thank my amazing husband Buzz for always believing in me and supporting me through all the ins and out of this amazing industry and for being the wizard behind the curtain that always kept things running smoothly, which allowed me the freedom to concentrate on what I really loved (doing hair and being with my clients). Also, for putting my dreams in the hair industry first and being an outstanding father to our 3 boys while I grew my career working long hours. You have been a true partner in life.

In closing, please know I will miss you all greatly and that I will think of many of you often and fondly. I hope to keep in touch with many of you and even have the occasional lunch now and then to catch up. This industry and all it has given me has been a true dream. I only hope that the next chapter in my life will be just as fulfilling.

Thank you all from the depths of my heart!

With Love and appreciation,

- Amanda

P.S My last day in the salon will be August 22nd. In order to help with an easy transition, I will be providing cards with stylist recommendations as well as their contact and scheduling information.

A Very Merry Christmas to you all!

Thank you all for your Friendship, Support, Kindness, Love, and Patronage through out the year. With out all of you, life would not be as Beautiful. I consider myself truly Blessed to have you all in my life. I look forward too the New Year. And I wish you all A fresh New Year, full of New adventures and Blessings.

Peace, Love, and Blessings to you all.❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻😘🙏🏻

***** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. PLEASE READ *****

We are switching from Schedulicity to Square for all appointment scheduling as of this weekend. Please do not be concerned if you see your appointment changing or being cancelled. I am working on the appointment book and manually moving appointments to the new program. All appointments will stay the same as originally scheduled unless you hear from me otherwise via text or phone call. You will receive an email from the new Square scheduling software with a link that shows you how to schedule future appointments if necessary. We will also have an updated appointment link on our website.

Please PLEASE do not attempt to change or schedule any appointments within the next 24 hours, as this could potentially create a problem during the migration.

Thank you all for your support!

******IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT******

Dear Valued Clients,
I have some important salon news. I’m sad to inform you that due to the heavy rains this past week the salon has sustained severe water damage creating a environment that is not fit to conduct business.

Sooo we have moved!

We are blessed to have found a new location set and ready to go. We are now located in the new and modern My Salon Suite, conveniently located in the Bel Air Town Center at 564 Baltimore Pike next door to Liberatore's restaurant.

I apologize for any stress a change in location may cause. However, there are some new and convenient perks to our new home. Parking is amazing! There is a secure lobby entrance with cameras, intercom, and an automated door system that will allow you to let me know when you have arrived.

You will also be able to find our new location on our page and website.

Our contact information and scheduling will all remain the same and your already scheduled appointments will not change. I will be calling you a day or two before your appointment to make sure you are comfortable and answer any questions you may have.

I truly appreciate your support through this transition and I’m excited to see you all soon.

Love,
Amanda

New Location:
564 Baltimore Pike
Bel Air, MD 21014

SO AMAZINGLY THANKFUL ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 😭😭😭😭

I just Officially finished my first week back in the salon. I am full of so much emotion!!!

I started the week off getting ready for work I quickly found myself singing BACK IN BLACK by AC/DC the whole time😂🤣😂. Very appreciate for us hair stylist who’s wardrobes are about 99.5% black.

I wasn’t sure what to expect.  I was excited, scared, anxious, you name it. I felt confident that my awesome colleague and friend Abby and I had covered every base. We have taken any and all precautions to protect our clients as well as ourselves. We were ready👍🏻👍🏻.

What I wasn’t ready for was all of you😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️!!!! Seeing you all again, catching up on life, and just enjoy the company of what seemed like a long lost friend and loved one. I knew I had missed you all. But I just didn’t realize how much!! I didn’t realize how much being a small part of your lives. Having You all rely on me to help you feel like you once again, would bring me such an overwhelming sense of purpose 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️. Your kindness, your love, your excitement and your overwhelming generosity has just been Amazing!!!! 
I CAN’T THANK YOU all enough for supporting my business , my family and me once again!! And for making my first day’s back at what I love doing so fulfilling❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭😭😭

LOVE YOU ALL

Amanda

Hello Friends!!! I could not be more excited to announce that we are allowed to open starting Friday at 5:00 PM !!!! Please be patient as we are mandated only one client at a time. I apologize for any stress or inconvenience this may cause. I have also suspended online scheduling for this reason. I have also added extra days to my schedule to accommodate the obvious overflow. Please If you would like to get your appointment scheduled feel free to text me or message me here. I’m choosing to use text or messaging to keep a better record of the large amount of appointments, so as to have a reference to look back at. If you already have an appointment scheduled I will contact you to confirm a few days prior to your appointment. Please understand that I may need to move your appointment in order to follow the one client at a time mandate, but I will do my best to accommodate every one the best I can.


Most importantly We are completely committed to your safety, and ours! We will be following CDC sanitation protocols. We ask that all clients wear masks at all times while in the salon. If you are feeling unwell, or have a family member feeling unwell, please cancel and reschedule your appointment. Please wait in your car, and text me to let me know when you have arrived. We will let you know when the salon has been properly sanitized between clients and is ready for your arrival. It would be helpful if you could make payments non-contact via Venmo if possible. If you are not able to do Venmo it is perfectly fine.

I am honored to once again be there for you and your hair needs. Ive missed you all terribly!!! And I can’t wait to see all your beautiful faces again.

Yours
Amanda

Dear Valued Friends,

I hope this message finds you and your families safe and healthy. I am sure you have heard by now that the governor of Maryland has issued a stay at home order for all of Maryland. Due to this order the Salon will remain closed until further notice. La Bellezza boutique will re-open as soon as we are legally allowed. Those of you with appointments will be contacted as soon as possible to get those appointments rescheduled. I realize this situation is not easy for any of you and I appreciate your patience and understanding during these uncertain times. I would ask for your continued patience and understanding as it will take me some time to get to each and every one of you. I have a large amount of appointments to get rescheduled but will move as quickly as I can. I value your health and safety and that of your family above all else. I miss you all so much! And I am looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Please stay Home, stay Healthy, and stay Safe. Thank you all again for your love and support.

Love and Blessings to you all
Amanda❤️🙏🏻

Friends

In the interest of aligning with Governor Hogan’s mandate today, we have decided to close the salon for the duration of the week and reassess the situation on a week by week basis. Thank you all for your continued support, generosity, and understanding. Love you all and stay well. I will be contacting this week’s clients within the next few days to reschedule.

Love Amanda .
