One on one...with the computer?

Welcome to the wonderful world of the online service industry!  I forgot how I first discovered the fact that I can learn how to do just about ANYTHING simply by punching the keywords into the search engine and BOOM- I’ve become an expert at something.  I think it may have started off with wanting to learn a makeup technique, maybe it was how to grill salmon, or was it how to properly tie my karate belt? (I like to think of myself as well-rounded).  There are even tutorials on how to use YouTube (how-tos for the how-tos).  The possibilities are endless!  But then I look up from my computer (from what has felt like hours because it is now dark in here) and realize some services or classes such as, yoga/personal training, cooking or even photography, can take place in the comfort and privacy of our own homes for FREE! (uh oh)

 Fortunately for people in my line of work, we cannot be replaced by computers …right? Well, just remember this:  Nothing beats that face to face, one on one service of any small local business.  So when you are done perusing video tutorials (such as on our page http://wendyosalon.com/videos/) for quick reminders on how to perform certain tasks whether it is how to properly volumize your hair or how to unfreeze pipes in your house etc., please stop by to pay one of us hard working small businesses a visit - we'll be happy to serve you.
