Peace Of Mine
Servicing beauties throughout the Chicago-Land Area & North-West Indiana in a private salon suite.
I created this page to enhance my networking capabilities with clients & potential guests. If you have a referral, please give them my booking info only. Licensed in the states of Illinois & Indiana, Renee Brasier is a Professional Cosmetologist with a concentration for hair & a knack for making & keeping it healthy! Since 1995, she has worked at her craft & hopes to continue her journey into future years with you in her chair!
I use a calendar like it’s the holy grail of my existence. Everything from my work schedule to my agreed days on keeping my grand girl gets added to the lineup. 🙌🏾
If you see me doing anything other than breathing, best believe I scheduled it into my plans!💯
So when people seemingly roll out the bed or wake up from their lives & reach out to me for an appointment…to be scheduled on the day they contacted me!? At a time THEY see fit?! Then treat it like it’s life or death!? Suddenly their hair is in serious need of my expertise!? Miraculously, they just DECIDED “it’s time” to seek professional help…RIGHT NOW!? Immediately! It BLOWS MY MIND completely🤯
….cuz at what point did you stop to take a good look at yourself & decide you needed to do better?! Surely it was WAY before THIS MORNING…after you had breakfast!?🙄
Bottom line, I have a process that was created to filter out people who don’t respect structure & or TRUE professionalism. 🤷🏽♀️
For some folks, they think it begins & ends with the words “please & thank you” or moving my feet when they wave a couple dollars at me 🙄
Well I’m here to tell you that time management & respect (from you too!!) is REAL big on my list of attributions! So if you move through life on whims…if your priorities are being held together by duct tape & bubble gum…if you don’t like process & or protocols…you won’t like me🤷🏽♀️.
So please don’t shoot the messenger. Just find another person to point your frustrations at. I mean, I’m glad you like my work! I appreciate the interest, but I’ve got a business to run…& I can’t do it with people who think I work when THEY want me to or price myself how THEY think I should 🤷🏽♀️

The beauty industry has set the bar so low that clients are now asking if shampoo & blow dry service comes with their menu selection. 🤦🏾♀️
I swear I wish somebody would put pride back into what matters in Cosmetology. It ain’t all about price, speed, styling ability & piecing out every single standard of the salon visit.
As LICENSED COSMETOLOGISTS (not to be confused with licensed natural stylists) Where did the foundational elements go? Who told y’all to stop including shampoo service? At what part of the chapter on sanitation did they drop cleansing the hair & scalp before performing services?
It makes me cringe every time a new client asks me if my services include a shampoo. Like, what have we done to people that this is even a question they have to ask now!?!😩🙄😡
We gotta do better🤷🏽♀️
Please understand something: My process & the way I operate has evolved. It’s going to evolve again! That’s business🤷🏽♀️
What DOESN’T change are my values!🤌🏾
The people who can get with that, find me, book without pushback, respect my process & stay!
Reviews like this let me know I’m doing exactly what I set out to do & reaching those who are in alignment with that purpose🙏🏾
We spend ridiculous amounts of money on products & promises while totally missing the root of the very thing we hope to achieve.💯
Take care of your body.
Replenish what's lost.💧
Use PROFESSIONAL products that the everyday consumer can't buy.🧴
Have conversations & consultations with professionals that allow you BOTH to come to an agreement.📝
Stop yourself from criticizing beauty experts that don't align with you, & FIND SOMEONE THAT DOES!🔍
Be realistic in your service requests & understand that every style isn't for every body.🤷🏽♀️
Understand that your hair is more than a "type", so that alphabet chart u love? Yeah, don't expect a true pro to adhere to it.🔠
If you're using dollar store shampoo, you aren't qualified to give out hair advice.💸🚫
NOBODY has "naturally" black hair...period!🖤
Just because YOU think they should be available to service you on a whim does NOT mean you get to usurp their scheduling process.📆
Everybody's time is valuable. Not just yours.⌚️
I know everybody is on the Micro Loc trend train, but can we please get back to the hair?🤷🏽♀️❤️

Please know that it doesn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated!
I’ll see you soon😘

I’m trying real hard to honor my designated days off, with a full calendar, but my clients still want appointments😩

It's that time again, and I often find myself over-explaining and defending my reasoning. I've come to realize that people often respond from a place of emotion and negotiation when it comes to this conversation.
I'm not explaining anymore. I'm running a business. 🤷🏽♀️
If it starts to feel like your patronage is a consolation prize for my policies, process, and prices, then my increases will free up space for someone who truly values what I offer. It's that simple.
It's not personal. It never is. ❤️🙏🏾💯
One thing is for certain & two things are for sure….MY CLIENTS DONT CARE!!
PLEASE stop volunteering & giving them your unsolicited opinions & advice on where they receive their hair care from!
Focus on who you let play in your own head!
🤣🤣I have the dryer. Just have to use it on one of yall
