Making every day a better day than yesterday

Just posting quickly, trying to keep everybody updated! Things have been crazy busy preparing and planning for my upcoming wedding. The big day will be here soon, so I apologize, but the salon and future blogs will have to be postponed until after the wedding and things have settled down some. 
I've been spending my days with my puppy, Bella. I'm so lucky to have her! She is such good, sweet company... She is my best friend and is always here for me to talk to and vent to about all the stress in life!


Thanks for reading my blog!!!!
As soon as the wedding is over, and life has quieted down I'll be blogging current pictures and more salon information! Thank you for your patience, I'll be back!!!

Hi! I'm Chelsea Johnson, soon to be Anderson since I'm preparing to get married on May 7th! I've been in this industry for seven years and I love it! While at Earl's Academy of Beauty (now called Avalon School of Cosmetology) I was trained in advanced hair concepts, performance, and solutions using mostly Paul Mitchell and TIGI hair products.  

I continue to expand my knowledge through continual educational classes and Hair Shows. Being a well-rounded stylist, I can accommodate the needs of both edgy and conservative clients. I always provide a thorough consultation for each and every guest to ensure that they will have a wonderful experience while in my chair, at LockStar Salon.

I love using my creativity to customize a look that reflects each client’s individual style. I enjoy making my customers happy and like educating them about their own hair. My philosophy is to really listen to each client and do my best to incorporate their desires with what will be the most flattering style for them. I enjoy meeting new people and helping them feel beautiful.

I love working in my own salon that embodies my beliefs and rituals of service. I love creating fun and trendy hairstyles in an environment of upbeat people! I look forward to coming to work every day knowing I will make someone else’s day with a great new cut or color.

A little about me.... I was born here in Arizona and I am one of thirteen children! 
I love to read, I put new books on my cell phone constantly! Thanks to technology, I can carry my current book around in my pocket with me and I always have that ability to dive into different worlds whenever I have a spare moment! 
I love to work with disabled children (specializing in those with Autism and Down Syndrome.) My little sister has Down Syndrome and she is my best friend. Theres nothing more important to me than my treasured time with her. One of my favorite Sunday activities is to go to her house so we can have a tea party. She calls me constantly during each week to invite me!! 
I also love swimming in the summer and snowboarding with my soon-to-be husband and step-son in the winter. 

My fiancĂ©es name is Jason. He is most certainly my better half. I would be utterly lost without him in my life. For the past five years he was doing audio engineering for a living, mostly at the Phoenician Resort in Scottsdale. About a year ago he started a new occupation and is now working with his dad, formulating products for a company his father co-founded in 2002, called Isagenix. He is really great at his job, he's a wonderful, creative chef and he is extremely (sometimes annoyingly) smart. He is always watching science, discovery, health shows, and the news on TV. I love to complain about this but he helps me keep my life current (: 
Jason's son, Logan, is also a big part of my life! Logan is six and he loves playing sports, going to kindergarten, playing video games and watching movies. 

I have a passion for life and believe that love is the most powerful gift. I describe my style as both conservative and edgy. Conservative is classic, you can never go wrong; but edgy can be very fashion forward!
