Anyway, she's a hairdresser, and cut my hair once about 5 years ago. Now she has her own ladies hair salon down the road, about a week ago, my mum went in to have her hair cut there and she was chatting away, my mum said what a lovely girl she is and said 'she'd be alright for you'. I do really like her from what I know/ what I've seen- she's always smiling and she's just generally a really chirpy happy positive person, and she's beautiful. My mum mentioned my art work to her (I'm an artist), she told her about me not long coming back from New York where I exhibited my art work and she said that she'd have to check my website out..I'd really like to take her out but don't know what the best approach would be- as my mum is friends/ speaks to her mum, should she sow a seed that way or should I send a message on Facebook? and if I was to do that, what would I be best saying?Thanks.

 And make sure your Mum knows that she's your wingman. If you have another exhibit coming up, be sure to bring an invitation to that as well.
Oh, I'm so rooting for you here! I hope it goes well!

If I were you, I'd ask your Mum to make another hair appointment so that you can pop in and take your Mum out to lunch afterwards. Bring a portfolio with you, so you can show some of your artwork, or an iPad with the link to your work if it's too large to haul around. Be sure to have a couple of brochures of the exhibit and your card with you, just in case.
So Mum is getting her hair done, you can arrive "early" with your art portfolio, and "would you mind if I sat and watch your artwork?" while she styles your Mum's hair and then you can start to catch up, in person.
The Facebook message thing? Too awkward just yet. You can start the conversation while you're visiting with the two of them in the salon. Ask after her family, what's she's been doing for the last 5 years, remember when she cut your hair, are you on Facebook, I am too because of my artwork, etc etc etc.
So you reconnect with her, catch up with her and give yourself the opportunity to get her contact information.
Make sure you smell great and dress well, whatever that combination is in your neck of the woods, lol. Great breath and clear eyes, a smile and a good sense of humor? Magic! :)
