Happy GeekDay - 09-01-09, 06:52 PM

Its official (well, I suppose that depends on your definition of official), January 9th shall now be known as GeekDay.

Why? Because 6 years ago today the community of SalonGeek.com (samuelsweet.com at the time) was opened. What started as a small forum of a few members dedicated to interacting, discussing, problem solving, etc... has turned into a fundamental element of our industry for many of its members.

From a blog about my whereabouts to an active community of thousands daily, I am really chuffed with what our award winning site has become.

Thank you to the mods for you tireless support and a big thank you to all for making our home what it is; the professionals home on the web.

Just out of interest, what was your salongeek.com highlight of the past year? Mine I think would have to be The Party at The Event where we let our hair down and celebrated Geek of the Year

Happy Geekday !!

So how many of the 'original' geeks are still around ?

I don't really have a highlight as such just grateful for all the advice I received from geeks over the past couple of years and hope I have helped some peeps out along the way

BTW I just want to say that I have never been on any other forum that has as much community spirit or so many cool little extras (like rep & geekmolians when we had them) I think your next step should be to build a geek village and then we can all be neighbours

HAPPY GEEKDAY TO YOU

God......we've all had some giggles and shed a few tears, but what a wonderful addition to our lives this site has been.

No husband has ever filled me rage and made me roar with laughter as much as this site. Thanks to all of you behind the scenes and long may it continue to grow.

My highlight has to be the geek meet at Geeg's house in Spain. xxx

Happy Geekday too!

I daren't mention mine but it went from a negative to a 2009 positive xxx

I learned a lot about myself and have changed a lot about myself.

I've been a member of the site for some time now and as I've said a thousand times before, I would have given up being a nail tech had I not found this site. I hope now that I can begin to give more back than I have done over the last year as I've been there with the new techs and made all the mistakes and then some.

Happy Geek day. My highlight has got to be the inside out suit and Jan's faux pas with the Victory sign LOL.

There is a picture in Scratch from the Event for those who might have absolutely no idea what I am talking about LOL.

My other highlight has to be the Event in general and getting to chat with people I never thought I would meet, especially "Ted" and the gorgeous Sandi and Adele.

Hippy Geekday!

Highlights have to be:

1. oniongate with the saddo club.

2. Deciding to go for training and getting accreditation with The Guild after many PM's back and forth from Louisa.

3. And most importantly, I've been lucky enough to meet 5 geeks:

Gemma - gm_sh
Paula - pazzy
Kelly - kellydaisy
Susan - suzybabe
Carissa - buttons

I've been invited to stay at Adele's house and she even offered to look after master chick for me.

I nearly got to meet Axiom and PeterPan.

This site has guided me through my new venture. I was still wondering what the hell I was going to do when I decided to give up the decorating business.
I had never worn enhancements and really didn't know what I was getting into.
My first day with Katrina at Creative in Plymouth was as scarey as hell. But she soon put me at ease and has been easy to contact since I began.

With her and this site I have had an enjoyable journey into the world of nails! I am loving every minute of it!! This site has been amazing and I have had some excellent help and advise on my 'wobbly days'.

I have since gone into the world of waxing and again, without the valuable information and help that people offer on here, I wouldn't be where I am today. The next stage is a course with Kim.....(Not advertising...just saying whats next for me), I wouldn't have found her with out this site.

So a massive well done!!! And long may you continue!!!
And a HUGEEEEEE!!!!!! Thank you!!!!

HAPPY GEEKDAY ALL OVER THE WORLD

I completely forgot that today IS the day!!

My highlights of 08 are probably similar to Sam's. I think it would be The Event as a whole and having the CND team there with us... I mean the fact that John Heffner was there for that, and Jan, and Tony... it was way over the top and brilliant!

My other hightlight would have to be seeing S2 blossoming as a company and really coming into our own. I have learnt so much and simply LOVE what I do and being a part of this industry and meeting all the great people I get to meet!

So all in all 2008 was a great highlight in itself... and now I venture into my 40th year (although I am not yet I hasten to add)... but I am excited about 09 and this site and this industry and all of you!!

Geeks Rule and Rock!!!

In the past year I have been to stay with Gigi and her husband Simon which was wonderful and I also went to the Event and met loads of lovely people and made some really good friends.

Rarely a day goes by without me logging on and learning something and as time has gone by I find I am able to help others too.

It really is my second home

HAPPY GEEK DAY!

My Salongeek.com highlight would be becoming a premie! I LOVE this site. Also, the confidence I've gained, especially in the past few months, I owe to this site and all the FAB geeks on here!

My other highlight would be working with Roxanne, Angie and Kristina of CND at the Roadshow. OMG...what a great time that was!

A sincere thank you to everyone involved with this website! Wishing you ALL the very best in 2009!
