Dear Diary, I had a call from my oldest client today. Its strange that this is a woman that has been buying her wigs from Continental Hair for over 30 years and I have never seen her. My mother first worked with her in the early ‘80s but then she moved out of the province. But a couple of times a year she calls up and orders the same synthetic...
