COMMENT OF THE WEEK






Another busy day in Nori Salon. I placed a new comment of the week  piece out on the shop floor. Larger scale and in colour, it looked effective beside the shampoo areas, with many clients mentioning it and having a read. The piece was called 'The Boaby Stamper' which was the original name for a tattoo in Dundee. Calum had mentioned this in one of our conversations the previous week. Another thing we discussed was the idea of making t-shirts relating to the comment of the week. I showed Calum a couple of doodles and we agreed to go ahead with one based on his music hero, Django Reinhardt.


                                                    
                                                    'Django Reinhardt: Flammable Jazz'.

Norrie spoke a bit about extending some of the visual ideas across the salon, showing me two or three new areas where we could potentially place work. There is a great wall space by the reception that could be utilised.  Norrie is fully engaged with the project, seeing its potential to create a buzz amongst the staff. He suggested that once we had a bit more work together, we could use the salon one evening to have some sort of opening.

I also met with a client in the salon called Hazel whose hair I had cut many years ago in a salon in Dunfermline. Small world, eh? She is now up in Dundee studying textiles at Duncan of Jordanstone. She was extremely taken by the ideas behind the Nine Trades Project and we discussed ways in which she may be able to get involved.




                                             Hazel, happy, with hair all done and dusted.
