Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

Maternity Leave

It is so surreal that my maternity leave is fast approaching! This pregnancy has been flying by and I cant say enough how much I have appreciated everyones support through this time.

My last day of work before starting my maternity leave will be January 7th. My due date is February 7th.

I am hoping to take a few clients throughout the month of January leading up to my due date if I am feeling up to it. If you would like to join the waitlist to get in January 8th - February 1st please email me at claire@clairemichalak.com. This industry is so tough on your body especially when pregnant so there is no guarantee that I will be taking clients during this time but I am going to try my best to fit in as many people as possible!

I plan on taking 12 weeks of maternity leave after our baby girl is born. I am so excited that I have the opportunity to really connect with my daughter and spend time bonding with her.

I am planning on coming back to work the first week of May 2023.

I will start booking clients for my return in March of 2023.

Work-life balance is something that is extremely important to me. This is why I have decided to wait about a month after my daughter is born to book any clients for my return. I feel so blessed to be in an industry I love. I want to give myself time to figure out what my new schedule will be in order to give my 100% when I am in the salon with all of you when I return as well as give my 100% when I’m at home with my daughter.

I just want to say again how thankful I am for each of you and your continued support! If you have any questions, please write them down and ask me at your next appointment or email me at claire@clairemichalak.com.

“What do I do if I need my hair done while you're gone?”

If you need your hair done while I am on leave I have talked to a few amazing stylists that can take care of you while I'm gone! But please note I hope to see ALL of you back in my chair when returning in May! :)
