This contains the blueprint of my larger family!
I have been trying to figure how to write about the month of November in the world of Screen Hair Care….and my mind keeps coming back to family.
Nuova Fapam- Nuova Fapam is the name of the Italian company that produces Screen in Italy and I have never seen a more cohesive company. The place is surrounded by energy and excitement. Everyone truly loves and cares about each other. When Yves and I joined our new Creative Director Jason Schwind and a brilliant team of educators, on a Shared Vision trip to Nuova Fapam, they brought us into the warmth of their family and made us feel welcome. They actually placed a variety of American Flags, on our tables. The trip was amazing; we now have an extended Italian Family.
Screen Artist Guild- This month we hired our Creative Director, Jason Schwind. We interviewed many candidates for the role and we found the process to be a very interesting and came across amazing artists. We were looking for a candidate with vision and authenticity. Jason has a vision of how education should look in these times and along with his vision he is an earnest and authentic human being, throwing himself into every project, whether it be the person in the chair or the stylists in his classes.
The Screen Team in our office- Some of you may have spoke to a few of them, they are the most amazing set of people, I want to mention one person specifically, Nancy. Nancy runs our office, and takes care of me, i.e. making sure I eat and I leave the office at a certain time. She is an amazing person and has two brilliant children that she raises largely alone.
(Below see a fun holiday video of our office family!)
My Family- I am blessed with my brother living near me, he and his wife are a terrific couple and some of the best people I know. They have one 4 year old nicknamed “Princess”; she actually wears either a tutu or some other skirt everyday and has a passion for tiara’s. Their other daughter an “almost four year old” is nicknamed The Juggernaut, because she never stops and never cries. My nieces are like Yin and Yang. They are both perfect in completely different ways. I spent part of Thanksgiving Day with them and I bribed their attentions with a 7 pack of Princess Barbie’s. My brother and his wife have so much love to give and their home radiates with happiness. I like to think that my brother is a saint mostly because I was/is more like the juggernaut and he got the brunt of it. (I can turn anything into something about me.)
Yves- my business partner, friend and occasional adversary; you know I would not tease you if I did not love you.
My husband and business partner John- we are perfectly flawed as if we were made for each other; we share the stress and the victories which makes the creation of Screen USA even more rewarding.
We are blessed at Screen and our family is getting bigger every day with new distributors and sexy salons, we love you all and we truly want to help you be ridiculously successful.
May your Hair and your Holidays be fabulous and festive, but mostly full of your families (traditional or not.)
