I always love when the subject of sex comes up with my clients. I’m always happy to hear of them having sex especially when in long term relationships. I’ve been told by some, it’s silly to think people stop having sex when they’re in long relationships, but know from “the horse’s mouth”, that in a… Continue reading Sex Shop Talk.

Welcome to the Salon Chair.
This is a place to share stories from behind the chair. As a hair professional as well as a chair confessional, I hear countless stories that I feel compelled to share.
The names have been changed to protect each and every client that has shared a story throughout the years.
I hope you learn, grow, and enjoy them as much as I have.
It’s Butter, Ya’ll!
So last week my friends and I took a little trip southward. We went to Savannah Georgia. This is the home to “celebrity” cook, Paula Deen. She’s not a schooled chef to my knowledge, but a well trained and experienced cook. She is a friendly and lovable, talented woman and has a restaurant in Savannah… Continue reading It’s Butter, Ya’ll!
The Secret To Longevity.
Clients of mine were in today. A couple in their mid 90’s. 96 to be exact. The husband said he’d like to live to 100, if his wife lets him… He’s a character and I may have written about him before. The way he tells the same story about why their marriage last as long… Continue reading The Secret To Longevity.
You Charge What?!?
Deciding on now much to charge a client is always a tricky thing. Some people are always trying to get something for nothing while others are willing to spend whatever necessary to get the results they are looking for. Every year or so depending on the economy, I raise my salon prices. Always in small… Continue reading You Charge What?!?
Embarrassing TV Moments.
It happened today, just like it happens any other day, the embarrassing tv commercial. I like to watch tv shows and or movies from time to time aside from always listening to music. When you have a “family” of employees that fight over the radio station, or what cd is on, or in todays world,… Continue reading Embarrassing TV Moments.
With Age Comes Fat.
I’m always amazed how often I am talking about food with my clients. We talk about everything. I mean EVERYTHING. But almost always it gets back to the subject of food. “What’s for dinner tonight?” I almost always ask all of my clients. Ok, if it’s early in the day I might ask, “what’s for… Continue reading With Age Comes Fat.
Eccentric Collagen.
I love eccentric women. I love eccentric men. Alright, I love all things eccentric. I have a client that I’ve been doing for many years. She’s an older retired woman that is really a creative genius. She’s had her own businesses, many marriages, and teeters in on high heels and bright lipstick every time she… Continue reading Eccentric Collagen.
I Want(ed) a Divorce.
Everyone has had a divorce at some point in their lives, right? A divorce from a friend, a job, a co-worker, and of course a spouse. My first divorce was from my business partner. It’s also what made me want to seek out a therapist to try to deal with what came with it. I… Continue reading I Want(ed) a Divorce.
Mid Life Crisis?
My client Bob was in the other day for haircut. I haven’t seen him in a few years, or his children for that matter. They would only come in for haircuts, and were never very “regular” with their appointments but I would see them from time to time. It has to have been a good… Continue reading Mid Life Crisis?
Christmas Present.
A fellow haircutter and friend that I met working in one of the first salons of my career, was born on or around Christmas day. I’m not sure exactly, but I remember that she was named “Noel” because of it. She was older than I and almost motherly towards me, but being fellow employees, she… Continue reading Christmas Present.
