September??!!!!  Are you serious?  It’s almost the end of September, and where the dickens did this year go!!!!!?  The most I remember is how many bottles of Pino I went through!!!

The report from the Hive this month is as follows:

================================================
1.    WELCOME NEW-BEES

Facialist:
Welcome Dawnrenee Palomino!  Dawn is joining Sharon in our expanding skincare department and is our new Sunday and Monday facialist for day and evening appointments.  Dawn brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table, having worked for many years at a very reputable day spa in the South Bay. To celebrate Dawn’s arrival, all one hour facials on Sundays only, from now through October 25th will be $65 (reg $75)

Speaking of facials, Sharon and I have been hunting for a great peel for the fall to get rid of dead skin and excess sunscreen build up.  We found an amazing pumpkin peel that works wonders on the face, hands etc.  Our new peel for winter is:

“Plump-skin Peel”     1.15 minute $85

Waxer:
Welcome Courtney Corvan Alovis!    Courtney will be joining us in the waxing and makeup department.  I’ve known Courtney for a while and her reputation is outstanding.  She has been in the biz for some time, and was a facialist and waxer at Kate Somerville in West Hollywood.  Since I am going to be training Courtney the Queen Bee waxy way, I am offering the following training specials next week - Thursday and Friday 10:00am-1:30pm.  Call Jenn at the shop asap if you want to get in on these specials. They never last.

HEATHROW    $15
FULL LEGS    $20
HALF LEG    $15
FULL ARM    $15
HALF ARM    $10

================================================
2. SPRAY TAN SPECIAL

I am chuffed to bits that The Queen of Airbrush Tanning has joined Queen Bee.  Liz Pino of UVA Sun started her vocational life spraying cars!!!!  Now she’s doing excellent bodywork on us all.  Her spray tans grace the covers of many top magazines, and she is much in demand.  We are using UVA Sun products which are amazing, and believe me, we test drove them all.  Liz continues to work at UVA Sun, but now also mans our spray tan department on a regular basis.

SPECIAL -    Full Body Airbrush Tan    $25 (reg $50).  Offer ends Sunday, October 25th.

================================================
3. SONY CLIENTS

All Sony clients, please contact Jenn at the desk via email.  We have a new schedule for you.

================================================
4.  FUNDRAISER FOR FIRE DEPT

I’ve been thinking for some time that we need to have a charitable event at Queen Bee.  Of course this would be in conjunction with some sort of party with alcohol and really scrumptious bites involved.  So, I’m putting it out there now, that the Friday before Halloween between about 5:00pm and 10:00pm I am planning to have a shindig at the shop (and perhaps involve some local restaurants).  I’ll send more information soon.  100% of the proceeds will go to the Culver City Fire Department.  We may hold a silent auction perhaps, and I will also be asking some men in uniform to come help us out (gotta match?).  All waxes and services will be discounted.

================================================
5.  CONFIRMING APPOINTMENTS

Please help us by always “clicking” on the link when you get your confirmation email.  This way, we don’t have to pester you by calling, and we won’t assume you have forgotten about your appointment.  It literally takes one second to do.

================================================
6. PILATES

I am done with it.  Sorry favorite fans of it but it was just getting too complicated and the girls at the front desk have threatened to beat me with a magic circle if we continue.  The fitness program is being run solely with Elizabeth McCormick and you can email her at <lizmcc12@yahoo.com>.

================================================
7. YOGA

Still up and running, but Ally and Liat will be changing some things up.  We’ll update the website soon.  If you’ve been involved with Yoga at Queen Bee, look out for an email from them.

================================================
8. MANI PEDIS

Connie heads up the nail department and it seems as though you are enjoying the late weeknight appointments.  I am still looking for that special somebody for weekends and am interviewing.  Please keep your eyes and ears out if you know of an amazing manicurist looking for work.

================================================
9.  LOO ROLL

And last but not least, let me apologize profusely at the one-ply baby cry toilet paper that has made it’s way into our QB Loo!!  You can all blame Jenn!

That’s it until October!  Look out for email about the Friday before Halloween fund raiser.  Should be a blast!

Jodi and the Girls from Queen Bee!
