I recently watched a powerful documentary called Miss Representation ( http://bit.ly/MissRepTrailer) on dvd.  It is well worth seeing particularly if you are currently or are planning on raising girls in our goofy culture.  It’s a secular movie but the values and hopes it proposes are things I think all sane people can agree on.  It’s premise is that our […]

Ah, the end of summer. It’s bittersweet.  I mourn the passing of our all too few endless sunshiny days, but I get excited as my clients to return for their seasonal (and back-to-school) curly cuts. And, as always, when the damage from scorching heat and chemical-rich swimming pools sinks in, my curly clients will likely

You don’t need me to tell you times are tough.  They say hair salons are one of the last things to take a hit in a recession.  That and bars (so the story goes).  Over the last few lean years, though I’ve seen a number of clients go due to job loss or over all
