So, hairs the deal.

So, this blog is about people. You, me and anybody who essentially has hair. You see that’s what I spend the majority of my time doing. Hair. Talking to people while I do their hair. And what a time it can be. As many of you may know the time spent in your hairstylist’s chair can be sacred. Sacred as in “Oh, shit did I just tell her that, I never told anyone that!, but I know I can trust her” Or sacred as in “Ahhh…an hour to relax and pamper myself , while I’m rubbed and scrubbed and told how beautiful I am.” Either way or any other way it is a special time for my clients and me. I get a chance to learn about people and myself. As I see it, everyone who sits down in my chair is there for a larger reason. In a cosmic sense. My client is the mirror and I learn about myself my world thru them. What they share with me. The themes that run through their lives and how they navigate through. As I learn and grow, and become a better, brighter more conscious, aware human being, I reflect that back to them and the world can move ahead (are you catching all of the hairdressing puns here?) to be a more beauty-full place. Yes…..I LOVE MY JOB!!! More to come….Peace and Good Hair to you!

It is my considered opinion that the hairdresser is the most influential person in the community. When a person goes to a hairdresser, something happens to them. They feel safe, they relax. The hairdresser knows what their skin is like under their make-up. She knows their age, they don’t have to keep up any kind of pretense. Clients tell a hairdresser things they wouldn’t dare confess to a priest and they are open about matters they’d try to conceal from a doctor. When clients place their secret lives in the hairdressers hands they gain an authority few other people ever attain. I have heard hairdressers quoted with complete conviction on art, literature, politics,economics, childcare and morals. I tell you that a clever, thoughtful, ambitious hairdresser wields a power beyond the comprehension of most people. John Steinbeck 1902-1968
