Check. Checkmate

March 18, 2011

Sometimes don’t you look at people and their hair and compare them to Chess Pieces? Me too. If you think about it really hard you probably date, live next to, or work with a Rook, they are like the folks I see  Triathlons, they’re the sporty people. They look fabulous in their gear, but then you [...]

Carpeteria

March 11, 2011

My dear friend is a fellow Hair Stylist. When we are out together, she raises her brow and gives the hairy eyeball while nodding in the direction of an unsuspecting soul sporting B.C.H. (birth control hair) we use the term CARPET as code word to discreetly alert one another of an offender in our midst. [...]

From Fog to Blog

March 4, 2011

You know how sometimes life gets in the way?  You have a great vacation planned, and something horrid happens at work. Suddnely you are land locked. Perhaps you’ve got a Bat Mitzvah approaching and you decide to cut your own bangs this time since your stylist is away at a tantra retreat,  or you are [...]

On Call

November 5, 2010

So I am out of town on business and my phone is ringing repeatedly. I figured this was just one of those ‘popular’ days, like when it’s your birthday and you can’t get anything done because the phone rings so much, or when your clients call en masse to say just how much they love [...]

Younger every day

October 29, 2010

I had a grandmother who not only was a beautician but she was elegant and magical. She could lift the spirits of her customers with a cocktail, a smile and her laughter. She was a smart dresser, a great cook, a fabulous entertainer, a wild driver and a lover of life. She would occasionally wake [...]

Don’t cast your pearls before swine

October 22, 2010

Often a client asks to have “just the dead ends” cut off. I try to feel what they’re asking for, I go with the flow, I confidently press on as if I can tell the difference between a dead end and entire dead strand. Hair is dead, right? I admit, I am grasping at straws [...]

Dog days of Summer

October 15, 2010

It’s that time of year in which the Indian summer sets, the leaves fall, and we batten down the hatches. We clean the gutters, rake the leaves, knit the blankets and attach the storm doors. The lawn mowers are put to bed for the season, the  wood is stacked and of course a trip to [...]

I got Leid at Simone Salon

October 9, 2010

Tonight I had the good good fortune to watch a hula show up close and personal. I admit, this was a style of dance that never really grabbed me. But since I was in the show, I felt it wise to at least appear interested. I was not shaking my okole, I was more like [...]

if lovin’ you is wrong, i dont wanna be right

October 1, 2010

I know a successful busy woman and her clients pay her top dollar. She has an email newsletter that includes juicy business tips etc. We’ve discussed blogging. I find it a bit weird, I write, I post, and wonder just who is ‘out there’ reading and enjoying? Anyhow, this coach, i’ll call her Betty, said [...]

‘my dawgs are killing me’, still

September 24, 2010

Well well, don’t we all come out of the wood work for the critters? (It’s sort of like a bad break up or a death in the family. Everyone softens and has soooo much to say.) Loving and caring for animals is at last vogue. It used to be illegal to have cats or dogs [...]
