It is such a big deal to find a nice place to get a haircut, and even if you don't have a big job to go to everyday it does seem important to have hair shaped the way you want it. Funny how many hair cutting establishments there are, every direction you look, and how few people are in them who know how to listen and do what the customer wants.
I have sat down in many a hair chair when the beautician thought I was somebody else and was just dying to be scalped alive. "OH I AM SO SORRY! I thought you were somebody else! That's why I stuck my scissors under your hair at the base of your head and cut all the hair off that you were trying to grow out for the last six months!" "Don't worry, this short hair looks so sophisticated!" "This man's haircut makes your cheekbones more prominant!"
Except I'm not a man, is the only problem there.
So at my friend's recommendation (she's known as The Mermaid but that's a story for another bloggy), I ventured into Town, the north side of Atlanta and went to Salon 11 where a wonderful talented and tactful young man named Adam proceeded to work on my head as though I was an important person, and when he got done my hair looked shiny, shaped and swingy. His mysterious hair products smelled lovely. The shampoo included a neck massage in a very comfortable shampoo chair. The windows overlooked a beautiful view of the city. I had a $20 off coupon -- some days life IS good!
Before I left my next appointment was scheduled, for sure. How wonderful to find a great place for getting a haircut.

YAY! Last Thursday I got word that one of the shops in town was giving free hair cuts before 4 o'clock, so I raced over there and got me one! 18 inches off! Yep, sometimes life IS good. :-)
wow that was lots of hair you were growing!
