updates and news

02/09/07
   It's been a while! Still no photo update, but I'm always taking pictures. See, the plan is to rehaul my website with a new gallery format, so I'm really just waiting for that at this point! Starting school next month (March) so appointment times will be very limited. Limited to weekends, some evenings for short appointments like double ended dread installs and dread maintenance. This will be the case until next January, 2008.
   This school thing has also pushed back all my travel plans, so I'm very sorry to those who were hoping for some hair while I was in Cali/London/Sweden, it will have to wait.
   In other news, I am preparing for my first live show at the beginning of March, hopefully there will be some pictures from that! Take care xox neko

   Heya.. started to fix some broken links and tidy things up a bit.. moved the dread "specials" into the gallery. I still need to go through all the pages and change the link *pout*... not looking forward to that task! there has to be an easier way....
   Also.. Updated PLASTIC COLORS page! Added 8 new colors that I picked up while I was in London!

10/27/06
   Back from Europe! I havent done a picture update yet, but this is a note to clients that I will be using PLASTIKHAAR exclusively for synth dreads from this point on. I have been for the most part anyway, because I love PlastikHaar! It makes much better quality dreads, and conveniently enough I have it in stock here at all times! Prices will be updated very soon but please note, THEY ARE STAYING PRETTY MUCH THE SAME! I am just combining material cost and labour cost together!

An update for those who arent in Toronto.. I am visiting Nova Scotia from Dec 17 - 27 (confirmed!), Southern Cali in MARCH (unconfirmed as of yet) and various places in europe in JUNE.. Namely LONDON, all over SWEDEN, SOUTHERN SPAIN, BERLIN and probably ZURICH.. Just a heads up!
xox.. will send a picture update soon!

08/26/06
   A big update finally finished. A lot of my pictures went missing, but there are 20 new heads in the galleries (mostly synth dreads and natural dreads, one braids and one wool). I am yet to get around to the Shrinkies gallery, though there are several people to put in that one now. I also need to add a new section in loose extensions: cornrows. I will do that once I get a couple other clients in that area. I also have lots to update for the wig section (at least 4 new ones), I suppose I will get around to that later. ;)
   Getting some interest for my current special (it's a fun one!) but most people live too far away. I have some VERY extreme styles I wish to do, so hopefully I will find at least one person who will let me do anything my heart desires! :)
   I am going to Europe from September 29 to October 13. I will be in London and Athens. If anyone from these areas is interested in booking an appointment it will be possible, just let me know soon!
   I am trying hard to get the guestbook plagued cured to no avail yet. I have to manually filter through a thick sludge of spam, so I'm very sorry if any recent reviews have been discarded. It's nothing personal and feel free to write another, eventually I will find a way to stop the spammers for good!
   That's all! take care.. xo Neko

   Christ, I'm not even close to being finished... but here's a much delayed update for you! tanya, brittany and krista with their new dreads, amanda, ally and meghan decided to make theirs a little longer with permanent dread extenders.

There are a couple others that i should really put up also, but i'll put them on hold until the next batch! I've also just changed my splash page to something more spiffy, the art was done by Clayton Lucas (you can reach him here if you need him for anything. Adding stuff to sections i havent finished yet also (oops) like plastic and loose extensions... and i'm filling up fast for april's special!
    Oo OO! I almost forgot.. I'll be at the clothing show may 6th and 7th with hysteric faerie clothing and the freak boutique... booth 531. Nothing too fancy, just a display mostly. (just an excuse to do the show again i guess! heheh).. see you there!

   I have added three new buttons in the gallery, Susi (black mid length dreads), Michelle & Anna (with braided in wool).

01/20/05
   I am looking for four willing participants who are interested in getting mid length transition wraps for the specials section... I need material deposits by the middle of february, so i can make the order. it only costs 150$ all inclusive! this is with high quality hair, and materials cost about $140 a head so i am really making nothing (though you can tip me if you absolutely love it ^_^ ) if you are interested, email
me a picture of yourself (i am looking for photogenic people) and let me know if you're willing to dye your hair purple, pink, bright red or black. neko@spl.at. the cost must be paid up front so i can order the materials, but you get to choose the appointment date. you get a wicked head of hair for 1/3 the normal cost!

01/14/05
   the hair site is finally finished! bio is next on the list, than the clothing site.
also, i am currently looking for customers interested in getting wool braided in for a discounted price! only $60 (half price!), materials not included, until the end of february. it’s the perfect winter hairstyle! it will keep you warm ^_^  contact me if you’re interested!
