you.

Hairdressers and beauticians in general know so much about their clients.
It is almost like therapy sessions when you have the right friend you can trust with your appearance especially if they get it how you want to look.
Lives are always evolving and to have a constant figure you trust with your looks and can take care of you as a person makes the task of esthetics so much easier when its someone you can feel at ease with.
(after all, there is quite a bit of cutting and poking and pulling involved with treatments and appointments)

I am so sorry about your friend & hairdresser. They are hard to find.

I also want to have time to process this with people who knew him, worked with him daily. I'm in shock.

I am glad you will be at the shop where he worked, I am sure that is the best for everyone.
My sympathies to you for your friend and to his partner and friends.

My salon has always been a safe haven where individuals can let their freak flags fly. We also commiserate over the political climate. I would be at a loss if something happened to my stylist.

Is there going to be a service and are you going?

You are right, there's something about a hairdresser that makes you feel it's a safe space for your feelings. I think it's because they touch your hair...

just needed a little help w/ the back. last year i tried something a little dif + actually worked good. but i have good hair.

cutting it dry helps. just need help w/ the back.

Where did you got to art school? I write about art history.

up-dos on myself. I've found it to be easier than keeping certain short and medium styles off my face and neck in the summer or if I'm working with my hands. I have a "slap bracelet" hair implement for buns; I can french braid and tuck the end up; and I can do a couple of different chignons. Takes me less than five minutes, usually. Anyway, my stylist simply needs to cut straight across the back when it gets too long to be manageable.

I offer my condolences for the loss of your long-time friend.

with one of them. They were his friends so I'll feel in good hands with one of them there. We can have our remembrances then. Funny how I often think "Oh, I'll have to mention that to Frank!" -- usually an outrage against gay folks that get us started...
