Not only that but the owner and hairdresser was very flamboyant and very into me! I hated going there! i think it gave me an aversion to having my hair cut. Now I leave it longer and cut it myself-- a luxury I can get away as I have a curly mop anyway.Mmmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379020705220234984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-85657615745157276322008-08-15T17:55:00.000-04:002008-08-15T17:55:00.000-04:00Kat, I love Stephen Fry and actually can't believe...Kat, I love Stephen Fry and actually can't believe I haven't seen any of these!

The temperature was in the 90s and my bouffant was making me sweat so it had to go. Thankfully, despite the fact that she spoke little English and I have a smattering of Spanish, we managed to work out what I needed. However, she then surprised me by trimming my beard and eyebrows. Maybe it's a Spanish thing. I don't know. All I know is that she charged me next to nothing and that she had a great collection of Spanish ska. I'd go again but the air fare would make the cost prohibitive. xStevyn Colganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06152745065245344159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-39360654414151323582008-08-14T14:58:00.000-04:002008-08-14T14:58:00.000-04:00Rebecca, your shorter bob does look terrific with ...Rebecca, your shorter bob does look terrific with your hats!Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-67728403524471966092008-08-14T14:43:00.000-04:002008-08-14T14:43:00.000-04:00Our son loves the old barber shop in town..They gi...Our son loves the old barber shop in town..They give him such a great cut and happily chat with him about cars which is is favorite topic of conversation...The last time I cut my bangs was a disaster and I vowed to never do that again...Of course, now I'm ready for long hair again after just getting a shorter bob which I liked at first but now really don't care for( Too short for me!)...Boy am I fickle!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04005793994542317964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-83382883505775982292008-08-14T11:00:00.000-04:002008-08-14T11:00:00.000-04:00Brush, like Kramer's only more dense and curly!Brush, like Kramer's only more dense and curly!Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-86386055247795107712008-08-14T10:50:00.000-04:002008-08-14T10:50:00.000-04:00RAD, WT is in total agreement with Bruce on this m...RAD, WT is in total agreement with Bruce on this matter.Tess Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04889725786678984293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-7428875263239714252008-08-14T10:49:00.000-04:002008-08-14T10:49:00.000-04:00Queenie, I didn't realize you had a salon!

They reminded me so much of each other at that age!<BR/><BR/>I went to the barber with my husband for his first haircut after we were married. I carefully watched so I could try doing it myself (we were terribly poor and I really wanted to learn just to save money!) I must not have done too badly because a few years later, the university president's wife asked him where he got his hair cut so she could send her husband! He never called me though....maybe it would have been too awkward? Funny memory, anyway. <BR/><BR/>And ~ Willow used to cut my hair when I was young...and she did a pretty good job! :) The perm she gave me when I was 12 years old is another story, but that really wasn't her fault.

I still cut Jim's hair, which is pretty wild and curly, what is left of it. <BR/><BR/>My Dad's hair was exactly like WT's. Very curly (that's where I get my mane from) and it, too, grew straight up. He was of Jewish descent. He once grew a 'spade' shaped beard, but my mother threatened to leave him unless he shaved it off! He did.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800917080090010655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-13567139660553602052008-08-13T18:40:00.000-04:002008-08-13T18:40:00.000-04:00psWillow, I'll have to remember the Wodehouse quot...ps<BR/>Willow, I'll have to remember the Wodehouse quotation--that's classic!A Brush with Colorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638723986208929476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-62784211408371180092008-08-13T18:39:00.000-04:002008-08-13T18:39:00.000-04:00LOL--I can just picture that now.

The first time I ever cut his, though, I didn't realize you have to put on the attachment to make it not completely shaved to the scalp and I started up the back of his head and went "uh oh!!"
