Disa "Blue" J.'s Profile

For my cut I've long trusted Patricia at Trio to do my hair. From the very beginning, when I had a specific need for two hair styles in one, until just a few days ago when she trimmed and styled me for the day I have always had the very best. Patricia is so passionate about what she does, most seem to be technicians. Patricia constantly updates her creativity with very best technique and I like how she says you know you've got a good cut if you're hair is blown about in the wind and it falls back into place. I can attest to that!

When I got cut a few days ago, it was a windy day and I looked when I got home after being out in it at least half the day. It was still practically perfect. After I slept in it, my hair still was styled practically perfect. All I did was shake it and it all fell into place. I tied back a bit and ran three miles. Despite my hair being weighed down from the workout sweat, I still looked done up. I am just amazed and would have my hair styled by Patricia everyday. I will go wash it now and do what I can to emulate what she taught me to do because she's never shy about telling you how to do stuff on your own. She loves what she does that much. And she is that good.

Next I'm going to get my color done by Coco. I'm excited to get to know more staff at the Salon and have become interested in everything that they do. You can find esthetician services, color and cut. I have gone to Salons that are more trendy and, don't get me wrong, they do a terrific job and are very professional, I think it is all about the professionalism of running a top beauty factory. There is something personable about most Salon experiences and you can get way more personal treatment when you frequent a salon that isn't run like a machine. Sometimes I want a machine and sometimes I want a personal touch. Patricia is my hair stylist and encourage anyone to go give her a chance at Trio!

I was waiting on a friend when I walked in and discovered this bakery. I decided to have a quick brekkie and coffee and it was done perfectly like the way I wanted it. The baked goods all look fab. I'll be back sometime!

When it became imperative that getting fit had to be integrated into my ancient 40 years of half couch abuse, and half utter gourmet indulgence, I looked up on Yelp for a trainer. I have some fairly important goals in 2009, and getting fit is a key to making it a year of transition into a better me.

Oh yes, fitness with Jennifer is changing everything about life for me. She visits me at my gym totally prepared and organized. She brings her own equipment for certain exercises that she planned for me, and she's one super fit rockstar I can trust with my body. What a relief! Someone that makes my workouts targeted, engaging and fun.

I mean, it's important to me to have faith in the person I hand myself off to for fitness. I was wary of people who seem to push other things, but someone that specializes in pre and postnatal fitness? Smart. Awesome. She is nutritionally aware, and her persuasive technique is about life transforming, as in: let's bring the inner 'fit self' out of this current body.

Within weeks, my strength improved and I lost several pounds. I'm shedding pounds and her exercises are focused on the areas of my body that has made an instant impact on the way I look. I can personally attest to the fact that after work with Jennifer, I'm way more noticeable (in a positive way) - and I love that! Wouldn't you?

I feel wonderful and working out with Jennifer has given me my life back. I'm someone having higher and achievable goals with her. I'm determined as ever to make them and I look forward to each workout as an investment in my future self. That's exciting to me. I seriously can't recommend her enough.
