Book Description
Life is such a funny, amusing journey- when you learn to laugh at yourself and the antics of others. Hello! I am Robyn my pen name is Robyna Smith-Keys. I started working weekends and school holidays in the family salons when I was 5. In 1962 I began my apprenticeship. After a break from the industry to have my babies, I wanted to read all that I could to update my skills. The few books available at that time were over $300 . In the late 1970s that was a lot of money. In the 1990s I realised, students were not remembering all they were learning at Beauty School. That is when I started a protocol book for our salons. The books contained all procedures with step by step instructions. My protocol notes are now training manuals for the industry. In the 1990s I was asked to assist with the Australian Standards rewrite and again 2007-2014 to assist with the International Beauty Industry Standards -Training Packages. This is your guarantee when purchasing my books, that the information meets the highest of industry standards. Not everyone has a wonderful Mum, Aunty or Grandmother to hand down their skills.

The featured participants--fathers, mothers, granddaughters, grandmothers, peace officers, and military personnel--share their losses, decision-making process to receive a memorial tattoo, and the impact that the finished tattoo has had upon their lives. By wearing an outer expression of their inner loss, these individuals show how memorial tattoos do not merely punctuate the death of someone, but rather, invite others into the living world of relationship.Using her education and experience as a therapist, grief specialist, and writer, Susan Salluce, MA, CT, offers the bereaved, the tattoo industry, and professionals in the helping fields a cutting-edge view of memorialized loss. Matt Molinari's exceptional photographs will appeal to photographer enthusiasts who seek to capture not simply an image, but the emotion and story behind the picture.
