Happy Blog Birthday

Thank God for another year of living it’s my birthday, June 18, 1952.

I acknowledge You in all your Greatness and your Glory and I thank you for another day.

Today is my Birthday, so now you know…

I, chose to celebrate it by reflecting on my past life style of accomplishment  in Relationships, Family, Friends, Spiritually, Physically, Financial, Social and my new-found love in music by playing the piano and drawing  see, last year Birthday Blog.

The first of the year began Great!!

A new-found love gifted from God above.

Her name is Bessie, different and yet charming, as well as unique and nice as could be.

We met @ the Second Look Hair Salon 18616 Grand River and was introduced to her by Amilia, Hair Stylist/Salon Owner.

Amillila, have known Bessie for sometime and felt she is a nice person seeking relationship like everyone else looking for love.

Bessie, prayer was for a nice man to talk with and her heart was open but not just for anyone but someone to treat her nice.

She cried a many of lonely nights, oh Lord!!… please send me someone nice to talk with after losing her 30 year mate, Dennis.

God, heard her cry and that’s where I come in.

I was also searching for a true and good relationship.

After, 10 years of  keeping to myself in fear of the hurt that most relationship may bring…and truly I’ve been hurt in the past.

I was alone but not lonely.

I was looking for someone to share my life with and was open to the suggestion of Amillia when she said that there was someone in the salon that wanted to talk to me it turned out to be the love of my life, Bessie.

After, Amillia finished shampooing my head over to Bessie and  exchanged phone numbers and the rest is history leading into our 6 months loving on each other.

I know that this relationship is blessed by God, because I prayed that my first date would be in church..and so it was.

After, talking on the phone for weeks at a time I asked Bessie to go with me to church,  Family of Faith Baptist Church 412 Piquetee, Harold Knox.

Bessie soon joined the church and we attend every Sunday.

God is so good in all his ways and I’m a witness to His supreme Glory.

Spiritual, God is still,and always in control and I understand that this world is not my home but I look unto enter in been with God.

I study the word daily by reading the Bible in a year by using the Daily Bread as my study guide.

I’ve been evolved in this study habit going on 5 years.

Well, enough about love and relationships, but, when I think  of home… I think of Piquette Square where I’ve been residing going 4 years.

In my opinion, Piquette Square, Veterans Housing for the Homeless Veterans, 6221 Brush, Detroit, MI.has been the best place that I ever lived, since Mom and Dad.

Because of the many resources and opportunities for better living, security, cleanness and the support of other like individual’s; Army, Navy, Marines, Cost Guard and the Air Forces..

We all live as one family living together, and at times, we may not get along, and, really.. what family don’t have time’s of difficulties.

it’s good remember that we are united by a single cause of the Red, White and Blue and the American way.

It’s good and such a wonderful feeling to look back from were come from and keep my eyes straight forward.

This year was great in completed my studies in Grammar 2 and Spanish 2 @ Wayne State University, Veterans Educational opportunities Program, 5425 Woodward Ave, Detroit, Mi and looking forwarding to fall quarter .

My family life is no different from any other family with ups and downs and those family members that distance there self from each other, but all we can do is pray.

I’m enjoying my retirement going into my second year and I thank God for that.

I have time now to concentrate on my internet business, call Life Leadership & Personal Development.

Last, year I began playing the piano and I’m still in love with the dear fact that I can play the piano.

I play by ear and also I can read music.

Every morning I practice as if there would be no tomorrow and each day I get stronger in my music and song writing.

 

Happy Birthday to Gayle

My mother, Norma has been singing for years, and ever since I could remember as a young boy going to church.

 Gayle, practiced and played the piano every day and thank her parents so much for encouragement and their sacrifice in time with arranging for her to take lessons because it has become such a powerful force in her life.

Gayle remembers her Dad saying to her before he died, 06.05.67.

“If I buy this piano, there is no stopping”, she believed in her dad so much she told him she will never quit.

Gayle has 2 wonderful boys, Darius and Demetrius and they are the world to her.

Hair by Keith

 

 

Hair or No Hair

 

Hair or no Hair?…that’s a good question? .. and the answer lies within the Hair  the feel of Hair and the look of Hair.

Hair or no Hair?…it’s time for a change.

 From the relaxing experience services of perms.

I’m going  back to my natural roots of the press n curl.

Hair or no Hair?… even though I’m bald I’m still the same old De, happy as I can be.

Hair or no Hair?… because I believe in me…I could wear a weave but that is not what I believe  for me.

Hair or no Hair?… It’s just good to have someone who cares.

Hair or no Hair.

Her name is Bessie, my Baby Boo, standing behind me with love from her heart to mine, because behind Great man stands a woman.

It’s not good for Man to be alone.

Bessie and I,  we prayed a similar prayer, oh God, please send us someone nice to talk to.

Hair or no Hair?…let’s face it, things  could be worse than a bald head, because Life goes on to grow another head.

But, not to have a story to be told of my Love and Passion that Life has to offer to me and Baby Boo .

Hair or no Hair?…God knows all about me, and about you too, for his DNA is planted within my soul and present in everything I see.

So, I tell my story to the world just how good God is in His plan and Purpose for Life.

Hump the Grinder and Billy Cason for their dedication in perusing of their Plans, Goals and Dreams; by show casing Detroit’s Finest Hair Stylist’s, Barbers, Braiders, Manicurist & Makeup Artists helping them along in the journey in Hair Styling.

Hump the Grinder’s Hair Wars, stage presentations in hair, Billiy Cason, Hair Design Magazine, and a host of talented Stylist, all coming together as a city style team in representing and enhancing the beauty of Detroit.

I’m De Derrick, the Hair Fighter/ Barber Stylist/Blogger…fighting hard in keeping the Capital of Hair alive in spirit and in mind and proud to be a native Detroiters.

I created my stage name “Hair Fighter” while serving in stage presentations in the Battle’s of Hair Wars over the last twenty years.

Down, through the years, show after show, near or far… I was on stage entertaining doing my show part or a guest enjoying every minute of the style ride in Hair that has swepted the country and across the sea… by way of Hair Wars.

Hair Wars is now traveling around the world and closing the gap in repetition in starting the show on time @ 6:05 pm.

I can’t remember a show where the 6:05 show time was not honor in keep with the old saying “the show must go on”.

Come with me… it’s almost show time, and watch through the eyes of a Hair Fighter, commentating  back stage and close up front @ V. I. P seating catching the spirit, bright stage lights and the feel of excitement and thrills as each performers unfolds their routines and theme all while having fun down the Run way.

I arrived early, checking in for my Media pass with security.

As, I waited patiently  until security clear my back stage pass.

From this angle I could see the entire back stage area.

The adrenal was  flowing with people working, as beaver’s would do in preparing for their Dam.

I felted the beats, beating hearts… and the tunnel vision of Show time.

I entered in  the room feeling the spirit of it all coming to life.

Act 1 model call and stylist’s claim their area by table’s marked with their name’s unpacking their equipment getting ready for a star stunning night of hair styling.

I’ve already made my quick change into my “Hair Fighter” charter, while the room continues to flow with hair stylists and models arriving for model call.

One thing I notice that Hump enforces his model call check in and if you’re late, pay a fine and may be you will be worked into the show…I know, from first hand experience and I paid from my mistakes for my lateness, realizing that the show Must Go On!

Back Stage area… and everyone is playing their part in handling the hype of the last-minute show preparations; make up, last curl touch up dance steps, one more time again…rehearse to the last-minute make up touch up.

I observed and watched the room, focusing my eye’s and attention, as an Eagle would be setting high above all and see all.

I’m close at hand, and down up front with the excitement of show time trying hard not to miss anything.

I thought, for a mount of the old days,  when I would have 4 – 6 models to get ready and all the Hustle and Bustle of show and the pressure of show time.

Nothing New Under the Sun…just that the faces have change.

Dorsey School of Beauty was well supported…coming out of their hair corner with a double dose of high energy of style excitement, Roseville, Mi. & Lansing, Mi., they brought color braids which added a new look to the show with the eye of the tiger in each stylist eye.

Ruby Jean Davis, Nevada, NM, lovely as ever, as she shows off her very stunning colorful  gown accentuating her colorful braid style.

Ruby has been styling hair since 1963 and her tip for today’s hair show is “learn all you can in the salon.”

Yolanda “Yo – Yo” Carroll was at attendances for her model call…I didn’t get to speak to her but I caught up with one of her models now wearing the Blonde look, longitude on one side.

Flawless Smith, which I had a chance to meet for the first time, sharing the family name of Smith.

Flawless Smith was deep in creative thought as he was working but took time to laid a quote on me, “I will have 8 models.

It was good to see Alonzo Palmer working his fantasy creation out…

I enjoyed watching Alonzo makeup artist, licensed cosmetologist enhancing the beauty of the models completing the style by makeup…the last stop, and Joelle Vanity Rock’s.

Tony Hair Weave Killa stop for a group shot, looking hot with color and style.

It’s intermission, everyone will be stopping by the Hair Wars booth and pick up some DVD’s and support tonight’s sponsors.

Comb Twist

 

Comb Twist, aka Twistie’s…popular hair style look of the History & Culture of AfricanTribal Hair.

The hair is twisted using the small end of a comb and twist and pulling in an out direction forming a pattern that represents style, using wax or gel that will guarantee firm in holding.

TWISTIE’S… is defintly a natural style look, if you have relaxer this service is not for you.

Even if you feel that the relaxer as grown out and you haven’t had a touch up for years, and no hair cut you’re still out of luck.

The relaxer is still on your ends and may not curl during this type of service.

TWISTIE’S…  are recommended I would say for all walks of life…work, school, church and play.

z

TWISTIE’S… also, is a connection with the Mother land, Africa, that displays the culture behind their unique hair styles and how those hair styles influence today’s hair.

TWISTIE’S… is good way in letting your hair rest from thermal heat, blow drying and coloring that may damage your hair.

Hi,.. The Super Hair Fighter/Blogger and today for the first time ever…

Comb Twist

TWISTIE’S… is a way in giving the hair a time to breath and rest from the above mentioning of heat and coloring can do to your hair.

I don’t use coloring in my hair and I’m also relaxer free making me a good candidate for this style.

I love the look and it’s an easy style to manage at night, while going to bed…just tie it up.

I Love my new look, that gives me a new Image in creating something to Blog.

My hair was styled by Franclyn.

The Birthday Gift

 

 

 

Today is my Birthday, the celebration of new life growing inside me.

I’m running the Good life in Christ today and I’m not ashamed of the name of Jesus. 

I won’t back down now, and I say His name again, Jesus.

 for I have come to far by Faith in His word to turn back now. 

I’m now 63 years of age, and I’m at the mil stone of my Life.

I find myself very happy to be able to share in my spiritually growth in Christ.

Another year Older and Wiser and Happier in the Word and with my self.

Let me see…what shall I do today?

I’m going Healthy Images Hair Salon and do some appointments.

……When duty calls…The Super Hair Fighter answers…….

Everyone has one day out of a year giving opportunity to look back and see for where you have come from and focus on straight ahead on their Birthday.

Today, is my day…Happy Birthday!!!

 See last year Birthday Blog

God has been real good to me in all matter of my Life.

I’m living the good time in Christ, but, I’m short because, 99 and a half of His obedience is not enough God wants it all, so I pray to my Holy Spirit in helping me in my unbelief and my short coming.

God, demands all due respect and honor as Our Father God the maker and Creator of Universe.

I read my Bible,  pray every day….it’s still not enough.

I attend Sunday School, Praise and Glorify his name during worship services.

I attentively listen and take notes of the preaching of His word.

I leave my Tithes and Offerings.

 I depart from the Services and  I try real hard to love everyone…God first Commandment.

And yet, there is so much more work to be done.

My Birthday, last year same time, same place, Piquette Square, Veteran Housing aiding the Homeless Vets where I’m Bless a resident there.

I love the accommodations and resources that are available @ Piquette Square. Thanks to Piquette, that has in helped  me in the better of my Personal Development.

I like to think of Piquette Square, as the best place I ever lived, since Mom and Dad and hot apple pie.

I’m loving ever monment…going on now 3 years.

 One day, quietly and softly, the spirit of decrement came me last year this time while I was typing.

I stopped typing and realize that my typing skills were no different from piano skills.

I studied on the matter for a while very seriously and thought to myself… I’m going to play the piano.

Not, to mention, that there’s  a piano in our TV room  @ the Square and I walk by it nearly everyday without even touching it.

It all made sense now.

50 years ago when I tried to play @ the age of 8 and it didn’t, by the age of 9 I let it go with no regrets, while running outside to go and play.

I was not ready at that time.

In knowing what I know now, I truly believe God prepared me for the ride down those 88 keys.

But still, there was something lingered in the back of my mind that says something about that piano.

Firstly, of all, anyone that truly knows me, knows that I’ve always had the rhythm for dancing.

I believe that my dancing does give me the edge in making up a beat or staying with the beat in which I’m playing.

Secondly, I have 25 years in the field of Cosmetology and over the years have developed me with strong dexterity in my hands and fingers.

Thirdly, I can braid hair and I acquire typing skills of 80 wpm with 3 or 4 errors.

That’s when it finally hit me!!

Why shouldn’t I be able to play that piano in our  the TV room?

So, not coming up with a good answer,  I started playing the piano.

I purchased my first keyboard so I didn’t have to go down to the TV room any more.

 The guys would sometimes ridicule me by rude loud talking and turning up the volume on the TV.

I was proud of my  66 key Casio Keyboard that purchased @ the pawn for $80.00.

I purchased the Alfred’s basic adult Piano Course and with my extremely high  desire to play I started practiced everyday and in-between days.

As a beginner, I learned my lesson and I learned it well.

God Bless me with a new 77 key Yamaha Keyboard piano.

 I purchased it from my internet mall, triple Clicks

This Yamaha was a $300 keyboard, but since hold an executive position with a company called SFI and having enough VP points because of down line that are in the business, the piano was free.

I only paid the shipping cost which was $30.00..how cool was that!!

With an extra 10 more keys to work with I got busy practicing .

I stepped out of the music book and began writing and playing my own melody and adding my own beats.

It’s truly amazing what God has done for me in my life by Plan and Purpose.

I now process the complete Praise package when Praising and Dancing lifting up His name in the services.

I’ll never will be the same in Life now that I’ve been Bless with the Gift of music.

There is no looking back and everything is looking ahead.

If only to remember of things I used to be.

Paying the piano skillfully is some people’s greatest life’s ambition, and He chose me.

Psalm 33 : 3 Praise the Lord with the harp; Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.

Sing to Him a new song; SKILLFULLY with shout joy.

In business, I once read…in order to change the world, one must first change themselves first from within.

I’m now at the mark of 63 years of age, ready to change the world from the Gift of music that is continually growing from  within me.

 

 

Khalife’L Scissorhands

 

 

I would like to share with you a short story,  keeping in mind…It’s only Entertainment.

The story is about Khalife’L Scissorhands, Hair Stylist/Platform Artist.

All the way from Sunny California to appear tonight on the stages of Hair Wars.

The show starts @ 6:05 pm.

The Best of De Derrick, Love, Peace and Hair Grease…313.623.3909

I’m De Derrick, Hair Fighter/Blogger @ Healthy Image Hair Salon 6525 Second Ave., inside the William Clay Ford Athletic Building, Detroit, Michigan.

I was, early for the show as usual I like to be on time.

I can always say that about Hair Wars…starting the show on time.

Doors open up @ 5:00 pm and I was very much ahead of my self because I was at the hotel at 4:30.

Keeping in mind, that the early bird catches the worm and the prize gose to the finder.

 One never knows  who you will meet before and during a Hair Show or for any show for that matter.

It’s all entertainment anyway.

I have VIP seating and  found a nice table close to the stage side.

Before, the show started, I had a moment to glance @ the line-up.

Hummm, let’s see here, Ruby Jean Davis, she’s from Las Vegas…

Von Jour Reece, Fashion Designer…

Keith Matthews, Beauty Village Beauty Salon…

Ms Thang Gloria…

and oh! Boy!! Little Willie.

Wait, a mintue….I noticed an unfamiliar name here.

His name is Khalife’L Scissorhands, all the way from California.

SHOW TIME!…SHOW TIME!!…SHOWTIME!!!

Time now, 6:05 pm, and the ballroom lights were dimming down low.

Let the show begin!!!

Appear on stage was Hump the Grinder.

Hump introduced tonight’s Commentator, Ms. O’kela Neveaux .

O’Kela, walked out on the stage and the show was on with the first act,

Ali D’Shua

 then next Khalife’L Scissorhands.

Looking @ the program, it’s that cat from California…Khalife’L Scissorhands.

The ballroom lights were turned completely off and a spot light was the only light that shined on stage.

The music played that spooky organ music that you might remember from a late Sir Grave Ghastly spooky grave yard seen.

The smoke machine, filling the stage floor area and over flowing unto the runway while the cry wolf hollowing as if it was a full moon.

Was this going to be Thriller show??

Suddenly, appeared out on stage and between the smoke walked out        Khalife’L Scissorhands.

Khalife’L was dressed in Black, Black, Black a leather jumpsuit making a Stand and Statement in Entertainment.

Moving slow, and mysterious staring at crowd with his sinister eyes line with black liner and eye shadow projected a look not to be trusted.

The man wore a scary curl that draped down his back and his bangs were stacked and hung over his left eye.

I looked at Khalife’L hands and I see why they call him Scissorhands.

Now image this, the man had 3 Scissor’s in each hand…clicking and waving around as if he was out of control…click, click, clicking of the Scissors  moving faster and faster, as if they were electric motored inside of his gloves.

Khalife’L knew exactly what he was doing, and he was doing it well, a true Showman and Entertainer.

The audience by now was in state of jaw dropping suspense.

I, myself  was a little shook up as well.

Not, wanting to take my eyes off the stage and yet I held on to my seat.

If, this was a dream, and I were 60 years younger, I would be a kid.

I would have by now,  have pulled the covers over my head screaming and shouting…Momie!! Momie!! the Boogie man is out try to get me and he has scissors in each hand.

But check out the turn of events with model now on stage.

Khalife’L had two models with him that joined him out on stage.

Meet his first model….

One was a HaireCopter that blond in color and trim with lights…give her a hand, for Creativness  coming from the commentator O’kela Neveaux.

Khalife’L, next model is a short cut and curl, that’s stacked in the back, shinning bright the two-tone red, the girl is definitely outer sight…give her a hand and another hand for Khalie’L Scissorhands…all the way from California, Mr. Khalie’L

For 5 stars for skit Performance.

After Sicessorhand hair chilling present…I made my way back stage to welcome Khalife’L to Detroit and congratulation on a job well done.

 

 

 

The Change

 

 Welcome, to  The Hair Show Blogger, we wish you Love, Peace and Hair Grease; “The Super Hair Fighter.”

I ‘m De Derrick, Hair Stylist/Barber/Blogger/Creative Marketer

 Healthy Images Salon, 6525 Second, inside the William Clay Ford Athletic Fitness Center, Detroit, Mi.

Changes are good, especially when the Change comes from within the bottle of:

LEAF OF LIFE Silicone and Pure Oil Hair Shine.

 

 

  A change from old way of using oil in the hair by using a Silicone and Pure Oil Hair Shine.

Currently, I”ve been  reconnected with the best hair oil product in town.

This product helps to bring out the natural shine in your hair.

 It’s called…LEAF OF LIFE Silicone and Pure Oil Hair Shine by far the best.

I’m very familiar when it comes to hair products and understand how they work.

 I’M speaking with over 20 years experience in the industry of hair.

I’m license cosmetologist by the State of Michigan.

When I talk strongly about the LEAK OF LIFE Silicone and Pure Oil Hair Shine products I get excided in the fact of knowing what I’m talking about.

Years ago, I was using the product Leaf of Life, with great results, but , somehow or another I lost commutation with  Bernard, Genesys  hair products distributor for the product LEAF OF LIFE Silicone and Pure Oil Hair Shine.

One day, by God’s perfect plan of Life, I saw Bernard @ the Hump the Grinder’s Hair Wars COLOR show, April 27, 2015 @ the Adoba Hotel in Dearborn, Mi.

It was good to see Bernard once again…must have been 10 years since I have seen him last.

The first thing after hello was said I asked him…got any Leaf of LEAF OF LIFE Silicone Oil HAIR Shine?

Bernard replays…sure I never leave home without it.

I got some in the trunk of the car…good I reply…I’ll take 12 bottles after the Hair Wars show.

I am now happier than hair Williams could ever be, singing his song, HAPPY now that I got my LEAF OF LIFE Silicone and Pure Oil Hair Shine.

The LEAF OF LIFE Silicone Oil Hair Shine song all the way to the salon to share the Great news about LEAF OF LIFE with my co-workers and clients.

There are a lot of different ways to use this wonderful product, but the way that I get the full results of this product for my clients… is after the application of the relaxer has stripped the natural oils from the hair.

 LEAF OF LIFE replaces the oils that have been strip away and while your hair facials are open leaf of Life has been infused into the hair by blow drying.

 LEAF OF LIFE is formulated to penetrate the hair shaft and supplying the hair shaft with natural oils directly into your hair shaft.

Apply the LEAF OF LIFE after shampooing and then rinsing of the hair, spray a generous amount to cover the entire head , comb thru, leave in, blow dry and style as usual.

By using the leaf of life, my clients andmyself gain by the feel and look of a style that shines bright with a healthier look of pleasing hair

Last word for today…. if your hair is not pleasing to you call me for me for an appointment or ordering your supply of Leaf of Life and begin to turn your Life around…for your ordering 313.623.3909

The Problem Is…

Raising prices. It’s a necessary evil of survival. It has to be done. But how do you do it? first of all, you should record how long you spend on each service-in minutes.

For example, shampoo and set 00 minutes, press and curl 00 minutes, relaxer 00 minutes, touch up relaxer 00 minutes, etc. Now, decide what you are worth a minute. multiply that worth by the time invested on each service and you have your base price.

For instance, if your worth is 0.60/minutes and shampoo and set takes 15 minutes–it would cost $9.00. If a relaxer absorbed 30 minutes — total — it would cost $18.00. A 2 hour curl would be $72.00. That’s for your time. List the materials used and their cost in a separate column and add the whole thing up.

Now, when costs go up, it is easy to show it.  You don’t lose money or customers. Doctors do it, mechanics do it, and plumbers do it. Professionals do it.
