About me
In her book, Get Some Hairapy! A hairdresser#8217;s prescription for
happiness Aura Mae shares her best insights and stories from 20 years
behind the chair to help you create the life you deserve. Copies are
available in the salon or at www.bbotw.com.
Aura spent the 1990#8217;s teaching classes and workshops to hairdressers
across the country for Goldwell USA. Today she is on the Brocato and
Kadus Teams for Beautopia. She excels at creative and corrective
haircolor, serves on the Board of Directors for the American Board of
Certified Haircolorists and is a popular speaker at their annual
Energizing Summit.
Her most requested classes are #8220;Getting and Keeping the Clients You
Want#8221; (branding and marketing for small, independently owned salons)
and #8220;Creativity Boot Camp#8221; (for hairdressers in a rut who want to be
re-energized in their craft.) Her cutting training started at Vidal
Sassoon in 1988, and her continued commitment to education is
unparalleled.
Aura believes that small business is the backbone of Americaand is passionate about helping other small business owners succeed.
(Read her Small Salons blog here.) One of the few people who can claim to have lived upwind of where
they make Tabasco Sauce and to have attended Death Valley High School
(Go Scorpions!) Aura Mae now lives in the Seattle area where she has
owned a small salon since 1991.
Aura has two teenagers, two Great Danes and no time for nonsense!
My Favorite Foods
I didn't start trying to be a "good cook" until my early thirties. Before that I would cook, but it was very simple fare with few ingredients and relying on ready-made sauces for flavor.
In the past decade I have tried to learn more and stretch my creativity and skills. I watch lots of Food Network shows in an effort to continue to stimulate that creative process.
The meals I prepare for my family are hearty and made with as many fresh, local ingredients as I can round up mixed with exotic ingredients from around the world.
