The Hair Lounge Portland

So I had a message from the doctor yesterday the bloods they did on Monday showed my potassium levels are back to normal and my liver function and markers for infection have improved however it also showed my kidney function has dipped so I’ve got more bloods being done today.
I had a busy day yesterday and I will admit I struggled, I get to about 1ish and start to fade.
I have got another busy day again tomorrow so pls bare with me.
Online booking for me will be staying off for a while and once I’ve caught up with those I’ve had to cancel I’ll be in but I won’t be working flat out like I have been, I need to go a bit steady at the moment.
Thank you all for being amazing and supportive it really means a lot.
Thanks to Terri for the chocolate yesterday

Online booking with Fran will be turned off until September.
Until then please either message or call the salon 01305 594191.
At the moment I’m playing catch up where I have been off poorly and I need to take things steady.

Hey all
Quick update.. I am starting to feel slightly better now the antibiotics are kicking in. The potassium replacement tablets have massively helped.
I have more bloods being done on Monday.
My energy levels are still very low tho so I am going to aim to come back to work on Tuesday 30th but pls be kind if I’m not my usual self and just bare with me.
Thank you for all your concern, understanding and messages it’s been much appreciated.
Love Fran 😘 # # #

Had a call from the doctor yesterday to say that the bloods they took on Wednesday showed my liver enzymes had increased since Monday and that my potassium salts were really low so they’ve given me these replacements tablets which I think have helped lessen the pain I was getting in my arms & legs. They are also going to try and move my ultrasound forward.
I know I still have people to contact but I can honestly say I’ve never felt so ill in my life and to top it off Savannah has thrown up this morning.. hoping a one off and not a bug.

Hey All
Quick update I’ve been back at the docs this morning as still not feeling good, the bloods I had done on Monday were showing markers for liver & inflammation so they are now thinking Gallbladder as the Urine sample came back clear.
I’ve had more bloods done today and have to go for an ultrasound in Aug.
My antibiotics have been changed again so 3rd time lucky with these ones.
I got told in no uncertain terms that what my body needs is to rest so for once I’ve decided to listen and do as I’m told.
I will be off for the rest of the week to recover and get myself well.
I’m slowly making my way through everyone I had booked in this week and am trying to reschedule you all new appointments, please bare with me tho.
Love Fran # # #

Really enjoyed doing this restyle today 😊

Colour freshen up and bob cut back in.

Before and after….this was four & a half hours work to remove as much old red as possible to give a softer more natural finish that suited my clients skin tone much better.

Just a reminder I’m away this weekend, I don’t have great signal where I am so please contact me on Tuesday once I’m back in the salon or you can book via the Fresha app
Thanks Fran 😘 xx

Just a reminder I’m away next weekend 5th & 6th I do have some spaces available on Tuesday 2nd, fully booked Wednesday 3rd and only have a couple of spaces left Thursday 4th

This job is so much more than just hair and we love it ❤️

My camera is rubbish and didn’t pick the colour up very well but a little bit of pastel pink to make the boys wink 🩷

Thank you Tracey Penney, you’re so sweet
Happy 1 year anniversary ☺️😘 # # #
Thank you also to Shelley & Mark for my bottle yesterday… I do have the nicest clients ❤️

When the suns got ya ☀️ little tone down for a more natural blonde.

Was my absolute pleasure do this lovely girls hair for her prom this evening.
Always that little bit more special when you went to school with her parents and have watched her grow up and turn in to the most amazing young woman.
So proud of you Maisie and hope you have the best evening.
Here’s to the future 😘 # # #

Kelly is back from her travels ☺️⬇️

When your client brings you flowers for absolutely no reason, thank you Barb Penman you are lovely 😘 # #

I’m having problems with messenger at the moment so please don’t try and contact me that way as I’m missing people’s messages and can’t guarantee I’ll see them.
For now please use the salon phone number 01305 594191 or you can book via Fresha.
Thank you 🤩

With the school holidays fast approaching I just wanted to remind everyone I do have some weekends off coming up and during the school holidays my hours in the salon will be reduced due to childcare.
Although I do have spaces available during August at the moment the majority of my clients do pre book their appointments so that might mean if you leave it till the last minute I may not have the date or time you require especially if it’s a longer appointment.
I hate to disappoint so pls do get yourself booked in early if you can especially because I will be working less hours once they break up.

Colour refresh for this lovely all ready for prom 🩷

Little flash of blue with the blonde today 💙

Just a little reminder to try and book in advance as we are busy at the moment.
Next week is now fully booked.
Kelly will be jetting off on holiday at the end of next week so advisable to get booked in if you’re wanting an appointment when she gets back.

Just a reminder I will be off next week to spend some time with my little lady.
Appointments can still be booked via the Fresha app.
