I am planning on opening a salon in May called Genevee's Studio, located in downtown Lafayette, IN.  It has always been my dream to open a business, ever since I was a child and drew up blueprints for a store called "The Earth Store".  The concept of the Earth Store was that everything would be made of recycled materials, reusable materials, or would help reduce waste. You would bring in your own containers for everything from ketchup to gummy bears, mostly because those were two things I cared about at that point in my life.  The outside of the building was a bio-dome with the earth painted on the outside.

Now, I'm mostly grown up and ready to start my own business.  It's time for me to get my "big girl" pants on, so to speak.  This will take a lot of hard work, dedication, sweat, tears, and gratification and I am looking forward to every moment.  I just keep visualizing the final product: my baby, my dream.   I imagine myself sitting in my stylist chair, just taking everything in with a deep breath, before I have to stand back up and start working diligently again. I will not give up, without knowing I put up a really good fight.

My tentative start date is May 1, 2010.  I will keep you posted as I move along. You are all invited to my Open House. There will be more information to come soon!  Thank you! -Genevee
