Someone pointed out to me the other day that there are tons and tons of other blogs out there (duhh!) and asked me what separated mines from the others…

Interesting and fair question. For starters, if I didn’t feel like I had a true point of difference, I wouldn’t be wasting my time, energy or information. And my answer to “What separates TheSalonFloor.com from other beauty sites?”

It is solution oriented, informative and easy to understand, and it doesn’t hurt that I’m a trained professional in my field. I walk it like I talk it, and I’m not someone who simply just blogs about hair because I like hair (no shade, promise). I know my stuff and I never raise an issue unless I have a sound solution for it. Women have real concerns about their hair (nails and skin, too), and I have yet to find a blog that truly addresses all of those concerns in the manner that I do.

I also have a new client special going on- For all new clients, you will receive $10 off any chemical service of your choice (i.e. relaxer, color) and you will receive a free hair treatment along with your chemical service. For all non-chemical services, you will receive a free hair treatment.

There was once a man named Eugène Schueller, who was born in Paris. His parents ran a small pâtisserie on the Rue du Cherche-Midi in Montparnasse. He was an only child—his four brothers died in infancy—and his parents sacrificed to send him to a private school, subsidizing his tuition in cakes. After a successful academic career, he ended up teaching chemistry at the Sorbonne. But the leisurely pace of academic life bored him. “He would climb in and out though the window before and after hours, sometimes starting work at six a.m., sometimes staying on late into the evening—hours his colleagues inexplicably preferred to spend with their friends and family,” Brandon writes. One day, a hairdresser approached him, looking for an improvement over the unreliable dyes then in use. Schueller quit his job, and converted his apartment into a laboratory. By 1907, he had perfected his formula, and began selling it to local hairdressers. In 1909, he recorded his first profit. By the nineteen-thirties, he was one of the wealthiest industrialists in France, and had moved his headquarters to a stately building on the Rue Royale. He would rise at 4A.M., attend to company business for two hours, take an hour’s walk, and then later be driven, by Rolls-Royce, to each of his various chemical plants, ending his day at midnight. He called his company L’Oréal.
