Mrs Dainty*

I was doing my best to keep as many balloons in the air at the salon last week when I saw one of my newer clients getting cut in.

I guess you see it every day, but it is truly amazing when someone who has alopecia gets to walk out of the room with a fullhead of beautiful hair. I like always...

Getting Ready

Both men and women go out on special occasions. Both men and women take time and effort to get ready for these occasions. Both enjoy doing that. But there is a difference. With men the getting ready and the occasion are two separate events. For women they are all part of the evening. And for a woman, getting her hair done is definitely part of the event. I think it...
