Tranquility and all the sylists are awe-some! At times I’ve walked in feeling old and like an “ugly duckling" and I walk out feeling young & gorgeous! They are the absolute BEST team! Even when my regular sylist wasn’t available, others stepped in & didn’t miss a beat. I always look forward to my Tranquility days. I just love them!

Blessings,Christy Burnside

Hi, Gloria. I LOVE Angela, Jeanette, Renee, Rosy and Beth in particular because they cared so much for me. I looked forward each month to comintg to Tranquility. Please give each of them a hug from me and wish them and all the people there a Very Merry Christmas and a Blessed 2012.

I miss you all very much. Life in Florida is good though.

Love,vAnn Callis

Thank you for being such a friendly and courteous staff. I am never

disappointed.

... On my last visit I got an ottoman for my feet, a blanket when I was cold, tea from the Keurig machine, and the most amaz-ing cupcakes. I didn’t want to leave. Connie George

I am always impressed with the friendliness and ef-ficiency of your appointment specialists. They are always gracious and cheerful. What a nice first im-

pression of your establishment for newcomers!Diane Kipp

I first met Leslie so I will start with her. From the minute I met that sweet one I knew I had a new esthetician and friend. She was so real with me when it came to my skin (you know I’m a sun Goddess) about telling me how to take better care of it yet without preaching. I’m on her entire line of suggestions and love it. What a wonderful gal she is. She knows I’m much happier when I come to see her for a facial instead of a wax....I mean seriously, she doesn’t even need to be looking at

all that stuff there....poor girl!!!!

And about sweet Holly....I mean what do you say about that sweet little one! Pretty as a picture and even prettier on the inside. I have loved getting to know her!

She was not at all offended (or maybe she’s a great actress-ha) when I came to her with the formula from my hair dresser in FL

and she did just what I loved! I know the poor thing had to be a nervous wreck as she knew I had been going to FL every other month to get my hair done and was

now in a bind. She did great and will be my new VA girl!!! Yea me and yea for my husbands credit card saving on all those flights to

FL. I look so forward to coming to my appt with Holly. I’m a mom of two as well and its so fun talking kid stuff.

These two gals are simply dolls! As a matter of fact I haven’t met anyone at Tran-quility that is not. What a wonderful amazing team you have there and I can’t sing

your praises loud enough to friends!

I pray you each have the Merriest of Christmas and thank you for being such blessings in my life.

Big hugs filled with tons of love!Robyn Woodard

Gloria, Wayne, and Staff,

It is always a treat for me when I visit the new Tranquility salon (except for the drive). From the front desk to the shampoo girls to the massage therapists to all the stylists - everyone is friendly, helpful, and takes a sincere interest in the client. I am grateful for each one. Thank you to Tiffany - I always hope you can be my shampoo girl! Nicole is the best - you know exactly what my aching body needs!. And, of course, Gloria, I think I’ve finally found THE right stylist, after all these years. Thank you to all.

I wish everyone much joy, peace, and many blessings during this Christmas season, and in the New Year ahead.

Merry Christmas!Bev Miller

Choosing a hairstylist is a leap of faith, to say the least. Within minutes of meeting Angela, I knew I had found the perfect stylist for me. She listened intently, offered her opinion and then worked her magic! My new color compliments my skin tone and brightens my eyes. I love the style too. It flows so nice and is a breeze to finish. Thank you Angela for being so awesome and sharing your talents! Merry Christmas!

All the best,Andrea Chapman

Hi Gloria!

I got your e-mail and wanted to take a moment to send a thank you to the whole salon, but in particular to Angela, who has been my stylist for over 4 years now. Angela is not only the most talented and knowledable stylist I’ve ever had, but she’s also a great friend. She is the only stylist I ever trusted to dye my traditional blonde locks to an auburn brown or let her cut 10-inches of my hair for donation. I never have to have a picture or worry about the outcome. I let Angela do what she knows to be best and I am consistently impressed and thrilled with the results.

Tranquility has been an amazing place for me to come these last 4 years, and I look forward to many more in the future!Happy Holidays!

Cheers,Sarah Coulter

You are a wonderful person and great stylist. Thank you for making me look good. :) Happy New

Year!

See you soon.Pam Bosley

Jessica..... A wonderful

esthetician who is kind and personal.

Thank you for being YOU! Have a Merry

Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Smiles, Laura Smeltzer

I see Jessica Curley for my facials about

every six weeks. Her kind heart, generous spirit, and listening

ears always send me away feeling better!

Thank you Jessica!Michelle Schuller

I hope I am not to late. I love Tranquility and it’s the only place that I rec-ommend to my family and friends. But I give much Kudos to Jessica. She gives the best facials. My face was in a complete mess when I came to her and those Baby Soft Hands, I had splotches, discolorati on, dryness, etc. But with her conti nued guidance, pati ence, and facial therapy, I no longer have to wear heavy foundati on. I told her last week that I noti ced I had a couple of blemishes before my Friday appointment and I was trying so hard to get rid of them because I didn’t want her to see my face breaking out again. I was like a litt le kid who didn’t want Mommy to see that I messed up all the hard work she put in. LOL She laughed and said that’s what I’m

here for, so leave those blemishes to me. I love Jessica, she is the best.

Darett a Jackson

Thanks Jessica for taking such good care of my face : - )! You’ve really helped my sun-damaged skin so much, and I LOVE coming to our monthly appointment. Wouldn’t miss them for anything.

Have a Merry Christmas!-Melissa Walther

I have had the pleasure & honor of having Jeanette as my manicurist forseveral years now. She is not only talented but a beautiful person bothinside & out! She has lifted my

spirits in dark times & has shared joy in the good times! I am honored to call her my dear friend! God bless you

Jeanette & Merry Christmas!

Brenda North

I want to say thank you to Renee Hull.

Your spirituality and kindnesslifts me up each time I see you and you always make my day. I am so very glad to know you

and have you in my life.

I would like to say a special thank you to Nicole. Not only are her massages fantastic, but she has a special knack for knowing just

how much to talk. Sometimes, a quiet peaceful time is required, and she seems to sense to keep things tranquil. Other times, you just

need to vent as part of your tension release, and she is a fantastic listener and conversationalist. I have so enjoyed having Nicole as a massage

therapist, and hope to continue to see her.

Becky Miller

My son gave me a gift certi fi cate for a massage and I scheduled it (luck of the draw) with Shannon DeLelle. I have

now found a therapist who has signifi cantly helped alleviate my back pain and workplace

tension/stress. I hope Shannon stays with you for a long ti me.

Merry Christmas, Jerry Marti n

Nicole’s hands should be patented! I have been to Nicole twice so far and plan to continue coming to her whenever I get a massage.

I have a tendency to get claustrophobic in small, enclosed spaces. During my last visit I started to feel the room closing in. Nicole was so patient with me and honored my request to talk during the massage. Talking gets my mind off of the claustrophobic feeling and helps me relax. And, our conversation was extremely interesting ... not just small talk!

For me, Nicole applies the right amount of pressure and soft-touch and I have felt rejuvenated and relaxed after seeing her. My back and neck are aching to see her again!

We’ll see you soon, Nicole! Kristie Dunleavy

Thank you all so much for the welcoming, loving, & peaceful environment that you create at the salon! Every time I enter Tranquility, I feel accepted and special thanks to you all! You all have purposefully created a culture in the salon and spa that people are drawn to...thank you and Merry Christmas!

Love,Brittney Baird

My sister, Donna Lane gives me a gift certificate every Christmas for the Peace package. It is the highlight of my Christmas. It’s not just the services that are wonderful, but your staff are very caring people. One, in particular who has ministered to me in her words of encouragement,( as well as her abilities as a massage therapist), is Nicole Overton.We have had some wonderful conversations and I always leave uplifted (and relaxed). This last visit, she felt led to give me a necklace that she had received at a ladies conference. She said the necklace symbolized “New Beginnings” and she felt that the Lord was going to do a new work in my life. It was such a kind gesture and I left with a since of expectancy to see what “new” things the Lord has in store for my life.

Blessings,Shelley Fones

Tell the shampoo staff Thank you for being so

friendly and courteous. I’m never disappointed.

Thanks! Natalie Garbarino

I always feel welcomed by Beth and Rosie when I arrive, they check me in and there’s never glitch, I’m always expected and made to feel important. I am very partial to my faithful and fabulous

stylist - Holly. Besides her talents as a master stylist, she is warm and friendly and gives great

tips on travel and shopping. Happy Holidays to everyone at Tranquility!

MOST RICHLY BLESSED(prayer of an Unknown Confederate Soldier)

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve,

I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey...

I asked for health,that I might do greater things, I was given infirmity that I might do better things..

I asked for riches, that I might be happy,

I was given poverty that I might be wise...

I asked for power that I might have the praise of men,I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God...

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life,

I was given life, that I might enjoy all things...

I got nothing that I asked for-but everything that I had hoped for.Almost despite myself, my unspoiled prayers were answered.

I am among all men, most richly blessed.

I love that poem! What a blessing on this busy, pre-Christmas day. I’m so

glad to hear that I am not too late to send some of my thoughts aboutStephanie, Renee, Amber and the wonderful Tranquility family.

Love to all.Vicki Lamb

Thank you Krystal for taking such good care of my hair. I always walk out of the salon with a smile on my face. Merry Christmas! Charlotte Boyd

Krystal is amazing - she gives great advice about how to care for my hair, the cut is always perfect (professional), and she is always on time (dependable). I can never thank her enough for the faboulous recommendation she gave me for the location for my “weddingmoon”.

Susan Clanton

I love getting my haircut done by Krystal because I know she is always going to keep me current and encourages me

to take that next step in style! I shared with her during my last appointment I was pregnant. A surprise blessing for our family, one I was still adjusting to at the time along with the morning

sickness. Well, she knew what I needed and gave me the cutest “easiest” style

to sport and helped me maintain a positive spirit, despite the expanding

body!! Now I am so excited to deliver in the early spring and will make sure I get another haircut before the due date :-)

Thank you Krystal!Gina McMillan

I have been a faithful Tranquility client since 2001. The time at Tranquility is probably my only self indulgent luxury and one that never fails to soothe the savage “stress" beast. Your entire team is professional, efficient, creative and friendly. They go out of their way to make you feel relaxed and pampered. If I am tense, I leave relaxed. If I am sad, I leave happier and I always leave looking & feeling better!

Happy Christmas to everyone at Tranquility and all the best in 2012.

Peggy S. Suarez

Gloria, You have created a wonderful business. The team provides a relaxing experience that every lady needs! I have been a client for... I think 7-8 years now. Holly and Julie have been my “Go to girls!" They are simply wonderful and truly know how to work their magic!

Thank you for your services, Julie Van Cleve

Dear Gloria,There is not one thing that stands out in my mind....but the whole experience at Tranquility. From when I first walk in the door, through when I leave, I am greeted by someone with a smile on theirface....everyone truly enjoys working there, enjoys what they do, and effectively conveys that message to me. No matter what kind of day I have had, or what mood I am in when I arrive, I always leave feeling uplifted and with a smile on my face.

You all truly work together as a team, thank you so much,Noreen McCann

Page 16: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

I’ve been coming to Tranquility Day Spa for quite a few years now and absolutely love the service, care and

attention that I receive there. From the very friendly greetings of Rosie and Debbie as one walks in the door to the care I received from Jane Taylor, and

now from Jeanette and Angela, it is just such a pleasure to “be taken care of”. The ladies are always so friendly and professional and highly trained that I never have qualms about how things are going to turn out when they’re finished. I know that the services will be of the highest quality. One can come walking in feeling down, but the upbeat manner in which everyone does their job makes one feel so much better when we walk out the door. Thanks to each of your staff for making everyone feel so very

special.

To the above mentioned and to everyone else at Tranquility, I wish all of you a blessed and joyous Christmas and a

New Year that is filled with nothing but the best for all.

Peggie Kosmicki

Hi Gloria,

As you know, I’m a big fan of Tranquility. The atmosphere is consistently positive and everyone is willing to do whatever possible to take care of people, whether adding an unscheduled service for a regular client or taking a first-time walk-in client who needed an up-do for a wedding in which she was to be a bridesmaid in a few hours.

I’m sure the staff takes those situations in stride on a routine basis, but it’s the consistently positive attitude in which they do it that’s impressive.

The ladies on your team are amazing. From the moment I walk in, the ladies at the front desk are always personable and gracious. They are very efficient in taking care of business but without making clients feel rushed. It really sets the tone for the experience there.

And then there’s Tiffany - her enthusiasm about what she’s doing is delightful, and she’s so interesting to visit with during shampoo time. She’s always so sweet about making sure everything is comfortable.

As my stylist, you have been blessing. No matter what might be going on in my personal life, when I sit in your chair, I feel that I can set those things aside for that time and enjoy sharing a conversation with you. Your strong faith encourages me, and I admire your sense of community in the way your use Tranquility as an outreach ministry in so many different ways. I always leave feeling prettier on the outside, but more importantly on the inside.

Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and blessings in the New Year!

Donna Draper

Hi Gloria,

I can’t tell you how much I look forward to coming to Tranquility! When walking through the door, I automatically feel like I’m entering a different world. I believe that the people who live and work in an environment create an energy and a mood. I can feel and sense itimmediately. The energy is Tranquility is always calm and soothing. From the open arms of the girls at the front desk, to Erin, to the girls who assist Erin and the other stylists...everyone takes a moment to smile and say something kind. Your holistic approach to beauty touches on every sense to reach the soul!

Erin is so incredible.....not only talented, but patient and warm. So many of my friends have complimented me on my appearance lately....Erin has taken the time to help me improve my appearance, which in turn has helped my outlook enormously! I’ve had a challenging series of life transitions over the past 5 yrs which have done a number on me! I don’t think she realizes what a difference she’s made to me. The little escape every 4 weeks is a highlight of my month! I haven’t hesitated a second to recommend her to my friends.

I’ve been to several of the stylists at Tranquility...changing because of circumstances, not because of talent or personality....Monica is so sweet and talented (I moved to April when Monica had her first baby). April is nothing less than inspirational (moved to Krystal when April left). Krystal simply sparkles and is also talented! (changed when she moved toManassas) and now Erin. Each has their own gifts and personality.

I love that Erin so calm and kind. Oh----and the fact that my hair looks fabulous is the cherry on top (or should I say the pearl on top of the cupcake?)

Thank you for all you do....you have created a very special place. I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and the happiest new year!

Warmly,Donna Raczynski

Thanks for making my wedding day super special. I had never been so pampered and and relaxed since coming to Tranquility! My make up was beautiful - I received so many compliments and I am now a true believer in Bare Minerals. Most importantly, my stepdaughter and I have vowed Tranquility is in our “Must Do" list when she comes to visit her father from Florida. Thank you for helping me bond with a teenager and build what I hope are going to be many, many memorable moments! Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year. Jennifer JaskeBrandi Cunliffe

There were many times that I almost canceled my appointments because of a health issue, God’s grace got me there each time and Jessica’s caring service always bought a moment of much needed nine peace and calm. Thanks to Megan, Renee, and the front desk team!

Charlene Fareira Murphy

Days that I have either a hair appointment with Monica or a

pedicure with Renee always put a smile on my face. I so look forward

to leaving the office and being pampered for a an hour or so. It’s also nice to be greeted by name by the ladies manning the front desk.

Keep up thewonderful work. -Mary Preston

P.S. BRING BACK WAYNE’S MOM’S CHICKEN SALAD!!!

Hi Gloria, I just wanted to let you know how much I love Christine, who does my hair, and Leslie, who gives me facials. They are both so awesome! My family and friends say I look ten years younger! I am always treated like I am the only person in the spa. Thank you all so much!

Cheryl Smith,

I can’t even begin to say enough about your professionalism and commitment to making every client that walks through the door feel like they are the only client that matters. You make me feel like a rock star each and every month I come in, always making sure I have a hot necky and a beverage EVEN WHEN YOU ARE NOT THERE! all the girls know what I need to relax, even the new ones who have not yet met me, and for that I THANK YOU ... I have no doubt that both Gloria and Wayne know what you bring to Tranquility but allof us know it too. Tranquility certainly would not be what it is with out you.

Tracey Levery

I have been a long-time client of Megan, and she helped my fatigued legs and feet when I was pregnant. She also helped my toes look top-notch for the arrival of our son last year. I was also excited to share the pictures (& gender since we didn’t know what we were having) of my baby the following appointment!

Thanks for this special opportunity to say thank you! I hope this is not too late!

Sherri Arp

Dear Megan....

I moved here 1 1/2 years ago and was randomly assigned Megan for my 1st apt. at Tranquility. From that 1st apt. I feel in love with Megan. She is a fabulous manicurist and more importantly a wonderful human being! We have become dear friends who have great conversations about our lives.She makes my nails lovely while we laugh and chat for our time which always seems to fly. She was dear to me when my Dad died in Sept. We have met each others parents and are both so thankful to have the blessed lives that we do.

Thank you Megan for being YOU! Megan...I love you! Merry Christmas and Ill see you in the New Year!!!

Smiles, Laura Smeltzer

Page 23: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

I love my visits with Monica because I always leave loving how my hair looks. I’ve never been happier with how my hair is styled!

I started seeing Jessica a year ago for facials and I’m addicted. The benefi t - I get to really relax but more importantly, my face looks so much bett er!

And now Gloria - THANK YOU so much for bringing Tranquilty to my life. It is the fi rst salon where I feel that I’m treated as a friend and not a customer.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family,

Caroline York

Hi Gloria ~

I’d love to share my thoughts. All too often, people complain about service as opposed to praising good service which we all need to hear so this is an awesome idea!

First, everyone at Tranquility is genuinely pleasant, kind and considerate. It’s truly an amazing experience each time I’m there. Rachel is such a talented artist and always wants the best for me. Herrecommendations and creativity have always been successful.

Warm regards,Maura Benz

Kendall Litton is a huge supporter of the salon and is always marketingit. She truly believes in the quality of services provided and the people

who provide them. I’d like to thank Kendall for recommending Tranquilityto me and my family.

Happy Holidays.Karen Sparks

Margaret and Courtney Wagner would like to thank everyone at Tranquility for making us feel welcome when we come in for an appointment! A special “Thank you” to Krystal, our stylist, for

making us feel and look beautiful!

Page 24: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

I have been seeing Monica since about 2000. It’s been so long I can’t even remember, exactly. I showed up one day for a ‘consultation’ and never looked back! Monica was ‘Monica Jacobs’ back then, actually. When I think of Monica, I smile thinking of the many, many styling sessions while sharing comments and laughs about our lives, our kids, in-laws, cooking, vacations, restaurants, holidays, whatever the hot topic might be. As a mother of six, I have almost zero time to spend on myself and I truly look for-ward to my hair appointments with Monica because she makes me feel special for that 90 minutes. I always leave feeling relaxed and beautiful, ready to face the next couple months armed with a great haircut.

Monica is an incredible person and emulates what I think Tranquility Day Spa tries to be...service oriented, a great listener, Christian soul, outstanding stylist. I wish Monica and everyone at Tranquility Day Spa a very Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year and I look forward to seeing everyone in January.

Sincerely,Susan Bucaro

Oh my dearest Monica, you know how much I love you! Thank you for every-thing over the past several years... good hair = happy me! I hope you have an amazing holiday season!

Love, Bethany Balsis

Since 2001 Monica has cut my hair.She listens, she cuts, she advises, and shares.

She has colored me brown, blond and red.She has given me straight, layered and a tousled head.

So every four to six weeks in Haymarket we meetand I look forward to walking through the door of the 304 suite

Cindy Martin-Brennan

Monica...It has been my great pleasure to have

known you for nearly 10 years! You have become

so much a part of my life, that I truly include you as one of my girls, along with Ann and Rita. Merry Christmas to you

and your family...

Love, Dean Birch

Monica is just the best! Monica has a

way that is so calming and assuring. There are moments in life

that you say God has given you an angel and

Monica is mine.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and all of your

staff.

To Jessica :

Your professional commitment to me as a client goes above and beyond anything I have experienced. I have visited many spa’s, and it is because of You and the 5 STAR treatment you conti nually give me, I keep a monthly appointment at Tranquility. I thank you for listening, for your fi endship, and your honesty.

I look forward to my ti me with you because on the day I come in, you make me feel like it is MY day and you are there just for me. I am so grateful to you for that.

Tracey Levery

Dear Gloria, I have been a client of Jessica

Curley’s for a few years now. She is such a warm person, and it is always a delight chatting with her even if it is just for a few minutes once a month. She cares about her clients and it

shows!

Lauren Millette

Jessica is the best!Monica Schultz

Julie and I have been together for about 3 years now, my hair is not an easy feat, it is extremely thick and takes forever to dry! Julie does my hair twice a month, it is healthier now than it ever was before I met her. I get so many compliments on my hair, honestly it is almost weekly, I will tell the person “Thank-you and I will let Julie know you complimented her”, because she is the one who deserves the compliment! So when I come in I will tell Julie you got complimented again this week!

Julie was 2 minutes away from my work, now that she is at Tranquility she is 45 minutes..but she is worth every single mile!

I also consider Julie a friend we talk about each other’s family, trip’s coming up and we are so excited for each other.

Thank-you Julie for being the wonderful person you are!

Laura Atkinson

I must tell you how happy I am to have found your shop and Julie DeLuca. I have recently moved to the area and was in search for someone who knows how to cut men’s hair. That is harder than you think. As you can tell, I am a little nuts about my hair, well maybe psychotic. Anyhow, to make a long story short Julie gave me the best hair cut I have ever had. Actually 2 hair cuts. Please tell Julie thank you for me. - Larry Spielberg

I have only been to Tranquility one time. Julie colored my hair and it has not looked this nice in many years. I look forward to seeing Julie again soon. Merry Christmas! - Debi Knight

If it wasn’t for Angela, I wouldn’t have found Life Church.

I first came to her a few weeks before my wedding and she did such an incredible job on my cut and color, I was sold. But so much greater thanmy cut and color, was our connection on the heart of God.

Angela told me all about her own visits to Life Church and the excitement was contagious and made me want to visit. Nearly two years later, I’moverwhelmed at the goodness of God and finally found my church home and family.

Angela’s sweet spirit and love for God is the greatest encouragement to me, every single time I come in. My visits to Tranquility are the highlight of my every 8-12 weeks!! :)

Merry Christmas, Angela, and thanks for being such a light and encouragement as you do a bang up job on my hair! :)

Kristine Martin

Angela is an absolute gem of a person and a wonderful stylist to boot. I look forward to my hair styling appointments at Tranquility because I know I’ll leave looking 100 times better, and it’s all due to the quality of care that Angela gives her clients. Thank you Angela and have a Merry Christmas!!!

Trish Freed

Angela is the best!!! This is Pam Sears and would you please tell

her that I haven’t been to see her in so long

because we moved out to Orange County

BUT I plan on making an appointment very soon because I don’t look the same any-

more! I miss my hair magician! No matter

what condition my hair was in, somehow, some

way, Angela would make it disappear!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Angela

Michele Darancette

I always look forward to my hair appointment! Ange-la Edmonds is a top notch hairstylist and I am very happy with the way she styles my hair AND she is so much fun to chat with during the appointment. I know when I come to Tranquility, I will leave with fan-tastic hair and a smile on my face! Happy Holidays to Tranquility Day Spa!

Dear Gloria,I love all of the staff at Tranquility. Jessica and Leslie are gentle and professional with bikini waxes and incredible with facials. Nicole and Jennifer send me into another world with their messages. I also enjoy my conversations with them.

Jeanette is my favorite for nails and toes. We have had many beautiful faith shar-ings about our faith. I come away beautiful on the inside and out because of her beautiful spirit and expertise. Megan is awesome and is always there for me. She has grown so much in her profession to perfection. I love Renee. We have journeyed through the years together.

Tiffany has a special place in my heart. She is unstoppable until she reaches the sky. Her messages are Heaven. She always takes care of me no matter what. She does it well. She will make an AWESOME hairdresser. Watchout Gloria, she is up for any challenge.

Gloria, I love you and your team. The beauty of who you are shines forth in every endeavor you embark on. Ev-eryone is a better person for having met you. You edify every bussiness and person you encounter. Thank-you!!!

Page 31: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

I love coming to Tranquiity. It is the one place where I can truly relax and feel that I have been pampered.

Gloria always does a fantastic job with my hair. She keeps me look-ing up to date and understands that I have a busy life and don’t like to spend a lot of time fussing with my hair.

Of course, I will never forget the time Jessica was giving me a facial when the earthquake happened. She did not panic and we still laugh about that experience.

Happy Holidays to everyone at Tranquility and a special thank you to Rosie and Beth at the front desk who always make me feel welcome.

Marge Fuhrman

I wanted to say thanks to you and yours staff for always making me feelwelcomed at your beautiful salon & spa. I would also like to praise Angela for the amazing job she always does on my hair and the confidence I have every time I walk out of there. She is a won-derful person and I’m so happy that someone recommend her.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas & safe Holiday!

Thanks, CathyWolfrey

Rachel and Christine take such amazing care of me when I am at the salon. They know that I live a very busy life, and they go above and beyond to make my experience relaxing and wonderful. I love them both! Thanks so much girls for giving me a much needed break from life (and a break from my

grey hair!! :)

Love,Katherine Huffman

Page 32: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

Rachel regularly cuts my daughter Lauren’s hair. She is always kind and gentle with her. She is also patient and always listens to all of the millions of stories that my daughter shares with her during her haircut. Thanks for all you do Rachel!

Christie Katz

Rachel is my hairstylist. She is always positive and upbeat. I look forward to my time with her. She always remembers what has been going on in my life and asks for up-dates. We share stories and ideas. It is always a joy to come in. I leave with a fabulous cut and a smile. She is awesome!

Melanie Wright

Wanted to express my deepest appreciation for all that Rachel does for me. She makes me feel so

special and pampers me like no other.

I simply adore this young lady, she’s incredibly talented and ALWAYS greets me with a huge smile and hug! Tranquility is a distance from my home, but...... worth every mile!! So, to you Gloria and

Wayne, and most of my dear Rachel!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for takingsuch good care of me!!

Fondly, Linda Honey

I met Rachel when she was at the academy and I have enjoyed watching her grow. She is an in-credibly skillful stylist and a kind person. I always enjoy my vis-its with her and look forward to watching her grow during the next stage of her life...marriage!!

With gratitude, Paula King

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Tranquility Day Spa & Salon staff. We

would like to thank you for your professionalism and courtesy

while taking care of your clients. My daughter and I have recently

immensely. We have had the pleasure of working with Rachel

Mullen and have come away feeling refreshed and beautiful. Thank you and may peace and joy fill you this holiday season.

Sincerely, Millicent & Sierra Cerniglia

Rachel is much more than a stylist. She is a much loved and trusted

Christi ne is the reason I started coming and stay with Tranquility. She is the best stylist I have ever had. She knows hair. She incorporates what you want to your hair type. She makes your visit a relaxing and pleasant experience. All past unpleasant experiences with my hair evaporated into her capable hands. I wish her success and a happy new year.

Debby Carter

Christine is always so nice and I get so many compliments on my hair and this makes me feel good every day! Thank you!

- Amy Hurtado

Christine is a wonderful and kind person. She cuts/colors my hair regularly and squeezed my five year old daughter Lauren in for a haircut and style for her annual holiday pictures. She did a wonderful job and Lauren looked beautiful in the pictures for the holiday card. Thanks Christine!

Christie katz

Christi ne has been my stylist for years now and she is not only aphenomenal stylist but such a sweet girl who has always been a shoulder to cry on and a great listener to help me through rough ti mes in life. She will always have a special place in my heart. -Christi na Schaeff er

Christine has been doing my hair for several years now & she does a fabulous job, especially on my color. When I was recently in a store, a woman approached me & asked who did my hair -- she wanted highlights just like mine & couldn’t find anyone who would do them properly! Also, Christine sometimes curls my hair, just for fun, making this suburban mom feel very glamorous :) Thanks Christine, for all that you do!

Kim Fleming

Page 35: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

I have been going to Christine for a couple of years now. I love coming into Tranquility! Everyone is so nice and helpful. Christine always gives me a great haircut and color, I feel great everytime I leave. It is always a relaxing and positive experience when I come in. Thanks for all that you do!

Liz Kelleher

I’ve been meaning to send Christine a little note to let her know how thankful I am that she took me in last minute this past Thursday. She did an amazing job, as usual.

I had an office Christmas party on Saturday, but when I called to schedule an appointment with Christine she was booked until the Tuesday after the party. So, naughty little me went to another salon to get a cut and some color ( I HAD to look good for the party!!!). Unfortunately, the other salon left me with a do that wasn’t party worthy if you know what I mean. I called Tranquility in a panic and Christine squeezed me in. She’salways been so polite, knows just the color I want,and gives me a great cut. I get tons of compliments on my hair and I love it!!!

I am also so so thankful that you really support your team. It’s very evident.

Blessings to the entire Tranquility team this Christmas!!

I always feel so welcome and special at Tranquility. Everyone is wonderful, and my hair stylist, Stephanie, is fantastic. Not only does she perform wonders with my “challenging” hair, but also her personality is so warm and bubbly. We just chat away each session. Thank you, Stephanie and Tranquility!

Linda Topper

I have been coming to Tranquility for 6 -7 yrs. Everyone is wonderful! But my favorite is my gal, Stephanie!! She is awesome - If I sit in her chair and say “I need a change” I trust her skill completely and know I will look great. She has done this many times for me! She makes my time there relaxed and we have fun. I always look forward to my visits as a social outing!! :) She also has furry children as do I and that puts her on the top of my “Great People” list!! Merry Christmas!!!

Sincerely,Jackie Hayes

Whenever I receive a compli-ment about my hair I tell them it’s all because of Stephanie W at Tranquility. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to take care of my hair. She’s the best and I pray she never leaves.

Connie George

Dear Gloria, What a thoughtful gesture! Please wish Stephanie a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I’ve told her before, but she’s one of the best colorists I’ve ever worked with and she’s always so positive whenever I see her she puts me in a good mood. She made me feel especially great at my last visit by giving me a mini-manicure as a treat to celebrate my pregnancy, it was so sweet of her and it really made me feel special. She’s wonderful!

Wishing you, Stephanie and all the fantastic staff at Tranquility a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Sincerely,Donna Bannister

PS: Please tell Stephanie she was RIGHT we’re having a girl!

PPS: Please tell Rene I said hello and Merry Christ-mas she’s wonderful too!

PPPS: Please wish Beth all the best I know she’s due any day now!

I have been a client for about 8 years. Stephanie performed a miracle on my dry damaged hair on my first visit. Since then I have been a loyal client! I travel from Sterling to your current (far away) location, and I couldn’t be happier. Stephanie also gave me GREAT ideas for a wedding hairstyle as well. She rocks.

Kristy Wolfe

My stylist Stephanie always does a great job with my hair. She did my hair for my 8th grade graduation and i got a bunch of compliments on it.

-Larissa Halstead

I would like to pass on my appreciation to Holly for the difference she has made in my life. Your entire team has the ability to make each of us feel so much better about ourselves (there is NOTHING like a great hair day). Holly not only helps me look better on the outside but makes me feel better on the inside. She is truly one of my heroes!

Thanks for everything and please wish all those who make all of us look so good that I wish them a very happy holiday!

Donna Brooks

I have been going to Holly for several months now and have truly enjoyed her! She always is so upbeat and very accommodating to whatever I ask her to do, regardless of how crazy it may seem. She also is so knowledgable in suggesting just the right style/color/highlights for my particular hair!!!

Merry Christmas to all of you and to Holly for always making me feel veryspecial!!!

Bert Santoro

I have literally received countless compliments

on my hair over the past 8 years. I am very grateful

everytime I receive a compliment. This is all due to Holly’s talent and skills.

Thank you, Holly.

Theresa Brown

I want to thank you, Holly, for reminiscing about my sons (who Holly went to high school with) ,and getting up to date with each other’s families! So much fun! But, also want to thank you for taking the time to personally arrange for me to meet Gloria, which has been a “God annointed” friendship, especially as she moves forward with the community outreach of the “Connecting over Coffee” events! Love it! Thank you so much!

Hugs and prayers, Carolee Fischer

Holly,

Thank you for keeping my hair straight and colorful! I admire your energy, talent, and ability to stay so organized!!! Happy holidays to you, Scott, the boys, and your family.

Best wishes to Gloria, Wayne, and girls and also to the Tranquillity Team.

Mary Ellen Osterhout

Holly,

I know I have told you often how special you make me feel, but I again want to express to you the dif-ference you have made in how I feel about myself. You have given me confidence and a desire to try just enough new styles to make a change without going “over the edge”! Your kindness and honesty are what make me look forward to each of myappointments.

You truly have a wonderful gift not only in the ability to style hair, but - and most importantly - being able to bring people together and create an atmosphere of caring and honesty.

Best wishes to you, Scott and those precious ba-bies for a wonderful holiday!

Marisa, Christine and I have been clients there since 1998.. and have always felt “at home" during each visit. I don’t even like to say “clients" because you ALL make us feel like more than that. From the warm greetings we get from Beth, Rosie and Donna, to the friendly smiles and hello’s from everyone else, you make us feel like “family". How many appointments did I spend talking Mon-ica’s ear off about movies, award shows, and Ben Affleck? MANY, LOL! And when she moved out to Haymarket the first time, she understood my sched-ule and suggested I try Stephanie.

We hit it off IMMEDIATELY, and she too always went the extra mile for me and for the girls. Stephanie taught both girls how to apply make-up, gave them beautiful updo’s for 8th grade graduations, homecomings, and proms... now we are blessed to have her as a friend who loves to go to movies with us! Stephanie and her family have even joined us to see Marisa in stage produc-tions at Osbourn Park HS! Thanks Steph and Monica- for being there for all three of us from the beginning- and for being there for us into 2012 and beyond!

Gina, Marisa and Christine Michak

I know you asked for one or two lines, but I could go on and on about the blessings that come out of Tranquility... you have truly created a wonderful business that makes everyone feel special!

Page 41: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

I am a long time customer of your spa. I just love the atmosphere and the love and care that the nail technicians provide me each time I am there. I have been working with several of the girls but my favorites are Renee and Meaghan. I have special needs and each time I arrive, they never make me feel gross or awkward about my less than perfect body. They take care of my toes and feet with great care, professionalism and passion. I also like Leslie, the new aesthetician. She is awesome. Very cordial, welcoming and caring. She is a consummate professional. I am so glad to be able to get my beauty needs tended to at Tranquility Day Spa. I really do feel good physically and spiritually when I leave your place!

God bless you and your family this holiday season and thanks for being inHaymarket, VA!

Linda Lou

I would like to say a special thank you to Nicole. Not only are her massages fantastic, but she has a special knack for knowing just how much to talk. Sometimes, a quiet peaceful time is required, and she seems to sense to keep things tranquil. Other times, you just need to vent as part of your tension release, and she is a fantastic listener and conversationalist. I have so enjoyed having Nicole as a massage therapist, and hope to continue to see her.

Becky Miller

Julie is the best! I always feel like a million bucks walking out!

Thanks! Liz Paiz

Page 42: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

Erin, thank you for being so warm and caring. During every appointment, you have helped me to feel very relaxed and I come away feeling refreshed and beautiful. I always look forward to the next time!

- Elana Verosko

Erin is great! This past year she gave me a new short hair cut and took me back to my natural color with highlights. I received so many compliments at work and from family and friends.

Samantha Williams

I just want to say that Erin has done a beautiful job on my hair for the past 2 years and she is always warm and friendly. My time at the Spa is always relaxing and that is a special gift since I have three young children and can really use the break.

Thanks Erin for being such a great stylist and such a wonderful person.

Sincerely, Stacy Piedmonte

Page 43: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

Erin, I moved here from PA two years ago and heard great things about Tran-quility. When I called to make an appointment, you were available. I’m so happy that I was paired with you and have had you as a stylist since that first day. I appreciate your down-to-earth personality (you’re not too girly and hyper like some of the others lol) and of course I love your work. I’ve always been pleased with my haircuts and coloring and I have received compliments about how nice my hair looks! I hope you will be at Tranquility for many years to come! Merry Christmas!

From, Schelly Harrison :)

I LOVE Tranquility and I LOVE Erin’s head massage!!! Oh and haircut too!! It is something I truly look forward to and thoroughly enjoy! Erin is such a talented stylist! Tranquility is blessed to have her on staff and I am blessed to have been connected to her through my neighbor and friend, Courtney Sheldon. Blessings to you all for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Lissy Layman

Good afternoon. I think it’s a great idea to compile compliments for yourstaff this holiday season. I have my hair cut by Erin M - and she alwaysdoes a wondeful job! She listens to what I want and is thorough & skilledwith her hair cuts. :)

Also, your front desk staff is always friendly and personable. They helpcreate a warm and inviting atmosphere for the salon.

The drive from Arlington to Haymar-ket is definitely worth the experienceat Tranquility!

-Alana West

From the moment I run through your door, usually running late, I feel a familiar calm come over me. It’s not just the soothing colors and fabulous scents but the people that make every visit feel like I’m returning home.

We want to thank the entire Tranqulility team for all your smiles, and your genuine kindness you have shown towards our family. Although work has taken Pete and I out of country and state, we always return feeling as we never left and ever grateful that our favorite stylists and technicians are a part of the Tranquility team.

We couldnt survive a month without Stephanie’s fabulous cuts, colors and comedy or without Jeanette, Renee, and Megan keeping Pete’s cuticles clean!

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year! Ann, Pete, Peter and Matthew Lozis

Hi Gloria and Wayne,

I have been coming to Tranquility for probably 8 years. During my first visit I came in and asked for bangs...I needed a change. ...and was walked back immediately to meet Monica who was so nice and calming, and a pleasure to sit and chat with. Since then I have seen many stylists to include Holly, Stacy, Christine, Jenna, Erin, and most recently Krystal (and then just yesterday Angela, since Krystal went home ill). Everyone of these ladies has done a wonderful job, always listening to me and accommo-dating any request, while also offering helpful suggestions. I always leave happy and relaxed, relaxed being no small feat as a mom of 3 children 10 and under. :)

I will also mention the massages and facials I have received through the years...it’s sometimes hard to go home to the real world after those wonderful experiences! I have come home several times telling my husband I would love to work in a place like Tranquility, as I really admire the work atmosphere, the camaraderie, and the overall sense of serenity that the team has. I feel that is so important in a place of work and naturally leads to increased productivity and success.

So, thank you for your team and Tranquility; I always look forward to visiting!

Happy Holidays,Kathy Murphy

Page 46: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

Happy Holidays Gloria.

I am happy to provide a write up about how I feel about your place.

First of all it’s always a pleasure to come in and I always feel welcome there, like I matt er. I’ve been to places in the past that treat me just like a number...but with Tranquility that’s not the case.

Second the personalized care I get is wonderful. I have very curly hair and growing up I had some awful hair cuts, so I became very picky about who touched my hair. I have been with Monica about 9 years now and am thrilled with her care. I’ve also had you work on my hair and it’s such a great feeling to know I have at least two folks I can count on to make me look my best.

I’ve had ti mes where I wasn’t feeling the best and aft er coming in for hair or a mas-sage service I walk out feeling pampered and ready to face the world again.

My only regret is that I can’t come in more oft en for services from your incredible team. It’s always such fun!!

Maybe this next year I will get a job and can come in to play more!!

I wish you all the best Christmas and a most prosperous new year!!

Dickie Conn

I can tell you that Stephanie’s energy and positive attitude amaze me. She is such a delight to be with - it feels like I’m visiting an old friend instead of ‘just getting my hair done.’ Stephanie takes the time to really get to know you. She always seems to know what would look good on me and how much time I need to get used to the idea before she tries it :) She truly is a wonderful person and it just shines through. I always leave feeling bet-ter than I came in. I know I can get my hair styled much closer to home but Stephanie and the incredible staff you have at Tranquility are worth the trip.

Thanks,Mary Crigler

Page 48: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

I started seeing Rachel for color only and maybe an occasional trim. As I became more daring (and confident) I added some subtle highlights. Then more bold high-lights. Then a more up-to-date hair style. I feel great! I look in the mirror and I feel younger and more attractive! My dull hair color and out of date hair style made me feel very plain. Guess I looked that way for sure! I’m very grateful to Rachel for her suggestions. She knows me and suggests things that she knows I won’t regret try-ing.

I had my 40th High School Reunion last summer and felt very confident going. I had long, straight, dark hair in high school and when an “almost blonde" with a styl-ish curly,bob haircut showed up, most people didn’t recognize me!

I so enjoy and look forward to coming to my monthly appt. Beth and Rozi are always smiling and greet all who come in so warmly. Amber and Tiffanyare wonderful. I espe-cially love the scalp massages! The entire staff go out of their way to make the clients feel comfortable and pampered.

Thank you and Happy Holidays! Kathy Kirk

Page 49: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

Rosie and Beth always greet me with a smile. I have seen them both deal with difficult clients and keep their smiles on their faces. These ladies are multi taskers who run the front desk wonderfully!

- Laura Smeltzer

First, Beth who I met while she was in training at your design school. I was hesitant to go to a “trainee” to get my hair cut, but she was very detailed and caring. She gave me the best cut and I followed her to the salon. She is a very special person and I look forward to seeing her whenever I come to the salon.

Second, Rosie who probably doesn’t even remember chatting with me (5+ yrs. ago) about possibly working at your salon when I retired. She was so happy and encouraging about the prospect of me working there. She is still a joy to see when I come in.

And last, but not least Nicole. I love the fact that she gives the BEST massage, but also that she is quiet when you need quiet and yet so personable and a joy to talk with when you want to talk. I most remember when the earthquake happened and I had my massage just an hour after that. She said she had been reading scripture when the earthquake hit andI thought how truly blessed I was to be in her presence.

Of course Gloria, I admire you and your husband for the many good works you do in the name of Jesus, our Savior.

God bless you and all of the wonderful members of your team

Merry Christmas,Reschia Wagner

Page 50: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

To Gloria and Wayne : I cant thank you enough for bringing Tranquility to the com-munity. The love between the two of you, and in your hearts, SHINES through your business . I am so grateful to have such a wonderful place to go to get away from all the stresses of life. It always amazes me that no matter how busy you are, you always take a minute to stop and say hello, and spend a minute or two talking, and that makes all the difference.

Tracey LaveryGloria -

Even though I totally messed up the date that I was supposed to come in, you graciously saved my day and cut my hair on your day off (and only charged me for my original stylist’s fees!). I was able to leave for a week-long professional

development course feeling fresh and confident...and very grateful!

Blessings, June Toth

Gloria has helped me and my Mom over the past several years on many occasions- we LOVE her for her spirit, kindness, and compassion for oth-ers. She helps us by keeping our hair looking it’s very best- which gives us the self-confidence to go out into the world with our heads held high!

Much love and happiness this Christmas Season!Rebekah & Bonnie Rupp

Gloria,

I just wanted to say thanks for taking (ALL) the time to show me the Bare Minerals make up last week - especially when I just dropped in. You were very gra-cious and I felt truly pampered! So thanks for being you!!

I have been Monica’s client for nearly ten years, during which time we have each gotten married, weathered pregnancy, learned what it really means to be a mother, and worked every day to become the best versions of ourselves we can be. Our hairstyles have been longer, shorter, redder, blonder, and we’ve experimented with all kinds of layers, bangs, swoops, and curls.

Tranquility itself has moved to, from, and back to Haymarket, and so many wonderful stylists have come and gone. Through it all, though, one thing has remained constant. Monica has greeted me every time with a smile and a hug, and I have felt stress melt away as we spent our appointment catching up and creating a new look. I’m happier and more ready to take on the rest of my life each and every time I wave goodbye. I’m so grateful for that...and I am so grateful for Monica.

With love, Jaime Nelson

Thanks Monica for taking such good care of my hair : - )! Merry Christmas

to you and you’re beautiful family!-Melissa Walther

Page 53: Tranquility 2012 Photo Book 2[1]

Dear Monica-

For these 9 years I have had the good fortune of having Monica do my hair I have had the great added privilege of soaking up her kind, gracious and lovely spirit. She has consistently shared her gentle, thoughtful and affable self as she transformed my hair into a thing of beauty. It was one of the happiest pieces of news I received before the shop moved back to Haymarket when Monica assured me she was returning to work at Tranquility after her maternity leave with Vincent : )) Monica exemplifies the kind,loving atmosphere that is the Tranquility spirit.

Bless all of the staff for making my visits such a positive experience!!!

Love to you all,Karen Baillie

I have been a client of Monica’s for a few years now, but she has been so much more then a “stylist” to me... She has been a confidant, a supporter, and a friend! Not only does she make me feel good about the way I look, as she is a talented professional; but she also cares about the way I feel inside, as she is a caring person. So thank you Monica...for more then you realize!!!

- Sandy Pollack

I am a new client to Tranquility and have loved having my hair done by Monica! On my fi rst visit, she took me from drab straight hair that was perpetually pulled back in a french braid to an updated, richly colored do that was more in keeping with my professional life! Everyone has loved the new style! She also helped me have a very special moment with my son on my last visit. Ben, a teenager, was forced to come with me on my appointment. When I teased him about getti ng a manicure, he actually took me seriously and asked if he could have the hair between his eyebrows removed. I was shocked (and a litt le amused...okay, maybe a lot amused...) Monica took care of it, waiti ng unti l most everyone was gone, so he wouldn’t be embarrassed. He has since asked me if he can have his hair done when I go! Thanks for all you do, Monica!

Sincerely,Lisa and Kayleigh Dahl

Thank you, Tranquility, especially Stephanie, for the excellent service. Stephanie has been my stylist over the past ten plus years and my daughter’s for the past three and she is such a blessing. Not only does she know and care our hair, but she knows and cares for us as individuals.

Thank you, Tranquility...Thank you, Stephanie...your thoughtf ulness and kindness are unmatched!

Thank you again and have a most blessed Christmas!Tiff any and Naomi Arrington

Why I Love Tranquility,

Christi ne Curti s is my stylist, she really will listen to what I want in a hair style, and makes it work every ti me. The color is perfecti on and the cut is truly cre-ated out of several things I liked, and made it into thecut I love. All of the people at the shop make you feel welcome and it really is a place to have a relaxing ti me, I call it a ME moment.

I have also been to the spa and any one that has had the experience word can not even explain the fantasti c way you feel. Every one should have this treatment even if it is only once in your life. You’ll wish you couldaff ord it everyday I do.

My Best wishes for all of you during the HolidayDona Flannery

I am so thankful for Monica. She has been making me look and feel fabulous for almost 10 years. She is obviously more then the woman who does my hair but I consider her to be my friend. I am so grateful for her smiling face and her sweet and kind heart.

Merry Christmas Monica! May the Lord Bless you mightily this coming year and always!

Hugs!Stephanie Ascari

My stylist Angela is sooo wonderful! No matt er what could’ve happened before I see her she helps me smile and I feel bett er aft er my visit. She’s very helpful with helping pick new styles that look great, and she understands when I walk in looking like I’ve been up all night with my 1 year old. I don’t know what I would do without a wonderful stylist/person!

Merry Christmas!

With a full head of a little too much hair, it has always been difficult for me to find a good stylist. With Angela, I have found not only an excellent stylist who handles my hair with ease, but a sweet friend who blesses me everytime I come in. Whatever troubles I had when I walked through the door, she helps me wash them out of my hair and down the drain. I leave with a spring in my step and a lighter outlook on life, in addition to beautiful, manage-able hair. It is such a treat to have someone take care of me once in awhile, and I’m so grateful to have found her.

Fondly,Kimberly Bixby

I was literally on my way to the Homestead for my neices wedding inOctober of this year. I needed my hair colored and styled and I wantedit to stay fixed the whole weekend. I made an appt with Monica for the13th, a Thursday. The wedding was Saturday. Monica blew my hair dry with the round brush like she always does. But then, in order to get itto “stay fixed” (my words!) she then took each section and put curlers inand sprayed each one. My hair looked awesome the whole weekend. All Ihad to do was take the round brush to some parts and do a little teasing. I left Tranquility headed to the Homestead for a get together that night. I truly felt like a beauty!! HA!

I feel Monica went over and above for me for the occasion. It was like she knew where I was coming from and the concern I had. She really put ef-fort into making me less stressed. I got sooooooooooo many compliments on my hair. Even on Saturday, (that being 2 and 1/2 days later!!!!).

Thank you Monica....the wedding (huge!) was great and I felt beautiful!!

I love dealing with Angela! I have such in between hair and I can definitely be a “special client". She’s

always so patient and takes good care of me. What’s makes

Angela even more special, she remem-

bers everything and picks up in conversa-tion right where we last left off, even if it had been more

than a year since we last spoke.

Thanks so much Angela,

My hairstylist is Angela. She is wonderful. She is attentive to my concerns and helps me each and everytime I go to Tranquility to try to get my hair done just right. In addition we share family stories and sometimes problems. She is patient, kind, and a great listener. In addition she pampers me beautifully. I am fortunate to have found Angela. She has become a friend.

Angela,

You are not just my stylist, you’re my personal therapist - lol! You always do a great job on the hair...and my spirit! My daughter absolutely loves what you did for her, too. She looked in the mirror and said, “My life is so good - I love my hair!" You’re such a blessing.

Hugs, June

I have been a client of Monica’s for approximately six months, but it seems like Monica and I have been friends for years! Even though I only see her on a monthly basis, she has taken the time to get to know *me* as a person. One doesn’t always get that type of attention from their stylist! I enjoy hearing about Monica’s boys and the Christmas card that she posted at her station allowed me to put faces with cute stories that I hear. Monica is always welcoming with her beautiful smile, but then again, I can say that of the *entire* Tranquility staff!

My thanks to Monica especailly, but also to the entire staff for makingTranquility a *GREAT* place to visit!

I have been with Monica and Tranquility since you opened your doors! Thank you so much for keeping me beauti-ful all these years!! I can’t tell you how many people have asked me “who does your hair?" I am talking completeSTRANGERS that come up to me all the time!! Your kind heart and love of what you do has meant a lot as well to my dear friend Christen, whom you have made feel so wonderful about herself again af-ter winning her battle with breast cancer! You are the BEST! Happy Holidays and Best Wishes in 2012 and beyond!

Much Love,Teresa L. Keener
