My business week

This week has been incredibly mixed and above all very fun!

There has been a lot of work at the salon but also out on assignments and a lot of work from home, both in the evenings after the "regular job" but also all Friday when I got lots of cuts deleted from my to-do list.

Love that variety and would never want a monotonous job. This week I have had the best combination of the social, the creative and a lot of both brain and heart :)

Nanotechnology fair
I have started working a bit on the side with a company called Disruptive Materials that works with a completely new substance, Upsalite, which has extreme moisture and fat absorption capacity (as well as many other properties). They are now investigating the possibility of using these properties in cosmetics and that is where I come into the picture, as a makeup artist and consultant type you could say :)

On Monday, they exhibited at Nano Forum (a conference on nanotechnology) and were nominated (and won!) Nano Company of the Year 2017. I was on site and spruced up guests and made up with this material, so fun!

I also listened to the lecturers in the conference hall but understood zero to zero. Best place to be if you want to feel like the blunt ladle among all the sharp knives in the box;) I really tried to listen and understand what they said but I did not even understand the sentences or terms, you realize how complicated it is with nanotechnology?

But awesome anyway! I understood that they will cure cancer, get paralyzed to go again and somehow develop the technology type in cars and mobile phones. But I suggest you take my reflections with a pinch of salt;)

Above you see Maria Strömme, professor of nanotechnology who invented Upsalite, who gave a presentation at the conference. So inspiring person! It was because she and I "found each other" that I became involved in the project.

New screens in the salon!
As I have mentioned in previous business week posts, I work a lot with our new campaign structure. Or new and new, we have not had any structure on this at all before haha.

Every month we have 4 pictures we will promote during the month. The pictures will be the first thing you see when you enter the website or into the salon, and scroll in our shop window and also publish on our Instagram and Facebook.

All week I have worked with making all the pictures, it will be like 4 different sizes and formats, so 4 pictures will be a total of 16 pictures to be made. It will surely go smoothly when I get into it and have all the templates ready but now for the first time it has taken me hours!

But nuuu, all the pictures for October are ready and up and running in all places except social media where they will be published 1 picture a week during the month.

This is how nice our new screen in the store is:

58 inches large and very nice resolution in the screen, we are so happy!

We also bought a screen for the shop window that will withstand sunlight, both the heat and that you should see the screen clearly when it is bright outside. But we have some settings to look at because it is currently not so bright at all that you can see the screen clearly when you stand outside the window in the middle of the day. Really hope it can be set!

This screen investment cost around SEK 40,000, so you really want both screens to be visible properly.

But fine huh? :) The screen is directly when you enter the salon, and the one in the shop window is directed towards one of Uppsala's most populated bus stops, so good!

Spicy atmosphere at our morning meeting
Every other Thursday, the entire salon has a meeting in the morning with a common to-do list that is checked by each meeting at the same time as new improvement points are listed.

Now that the autumn darkness and gray days are starting to take over, there has been a bit of a mixed energy level, which I was given the responsibility to change until the next meeting. We talked a bit like health drinks or something nice to liven up with instead of "just come in and sit down" but I moved on and when everyone came into the staff room in the morning, they were met by this:

Party music, disco lamp, champagne glass with vitamin drink (mixed with loka for bubbles) and a Helena in a party bubble and gold glitter heels!

Answer yes they were surprised, and happy :) So there at. 9 and Thursday haha.

Now I will be off work all Sunday and get things done at home. We have started with the continuation of the renovation in the house, so now it is time for the carpenter's trousers to apply.

Wishing you a fantastic Sunday! ♥
