MAVEN Salon Culture

Happy Tuesday! A few salon updates…

1- If you are coming into my space to abuse me, we can be done. You don’t even need to come in.

2- If you are coming in to try to get information about me to then give an abuser so that they can sickly twist the information and spread it all over the community in their ongoing pathetic attempts of continual smear campaigns, we can be done. You don’t need to come in.

3- If you are coming in to give me unsolicited advice on how to run my business or any aspect of my life, we can be done and you will be handed a referral list of therapists as you walk out the door.

4- If you are coming in to ask me property questions of any kind, you will be handed a map so that you can drive out there and take a look for yourself. I’m not sure why people keep asking me what is growing out there. This is South Dakota. Crops grow in dirt. This isn’t rocket science.

5- If you are coming in to suggest that I become a dog groomer so that I will stop talking about important issues affecting our local community such as ongoing domestic violence or human trafficking, we can be done. I may not be the right stylist for you and that is okay.

These are your final warnings. Thank you.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I am on vacation and will be returning on Wednesday January 14th. Some updates until then…

1- I will still be taking calls during this time but may not get back to you until after 5pm.

2- To new clients- the map on my business page is not correct. I’ve tried to change it since the beginning of May, but it will not save properly. Please use the actual address posted.

Thank you

This Christmas post looks a lot different than years past…

If you are someone that is going to sit in my chair and insinuate that I’ve done something wrong, that my dad did something wrong, or that my mother did something wrong, LEAVE. I don’t want you anymore. Find a different stylist.

Who is going to cover the 10K hit in pay I took last January when I had to take a month off to get away from all of you? Who is going to cover my 70% decrease in pay over the last year? If I have to close down my business to get away from my clients, someone is going to pay for that. I have been extremely traumatized and abused in my workspace for well over a year.

I would politely ask that you all take some time over this Christmas holiday to ask yourselves…

Who am I?
What do I want to be remembered for?
What will my legacy be?

Merry Christmas.

If you are a client of mine and you personally know either person that received a cease and desist letter the beginning of last October 2024, or any of their family members, please call or text me so that we can end our professional relationship together.

After over almost 14 months, I am no longer dealing with this behavior that has been completely beneath me and my parents our entire lives in my personal space any longer.

Thank you.

Happy Monday! I’m continuing to clear my path. If you are a client of mine and you know an aunt of mine that I’ve spoken with 4 times in my life, or you know any of her children that I’ve maybe met once or twice, please call or text me so that we can end our professional relationship together.

Thank you for your understanding 605-376-2334

*New Salon Policy* which I’ve been personally implementing for months, but should have posted it.

If I have a client walk through my door that makes me feel unsafe in any way, whether that be physically, mentally, or emotionally, that then affects my ability to make my other valued clients feel safe in my salon space, that client will be fired.

Please stop gaslighting yourselves into thinking that any of the behavior that I’ve had to put up with over the last year is normal. Please stop normalizing bad behavior.

A hairstylist with a career span as long as mine, should never have to feel scared to go to work or to text her clients.

*New salon policy*

Every client upon entry will be asked if they will be recording me in any way.

I apologize that it has come to this but sometimes it just takes a few bad actors to ruin a really great movie. Thank you for your understanding.

This little cutie was so excited to head back to school with her new look! This was such a fun color for me to do and I know it will fade beautifully.

Now taking new clients 605-376-2334 😊

Good morning! Unfortunately I have to continue clearing my path for my own personal safety. If you are a client of mine and you personally know a relative of mine that my parents and I have been estranged from for over 10 years for really good reasons, please either respect me enough to stop giving that person and their partner information about me or call or text me so that we can end our professional relationship together.

Their actions have caused me severe distress in my personal workspace and personal life for almost a year which I would consider harassment of the highest level.

Thank you for your understanding in this difficult time and thank you so much for being understanding while I’ve been navigating the most challenging portion of my career to date. I know things haven’t been easy, but I really appreciate everyone learning and growing with me during this process.

Be well and have a pleasant weekend! Thank you.

I’m on vacation and will be returning calls and texts on the 27th. Thank you.
