My client Nancy and I have known each other since her daughters were small children. They’re both married now and have started their own families. She used to tell me how when she was young she developed very early and was “blessed” with extra large breasts. Some girls would love this about their bodies and… Continue reading You still got it!
Family tragedy.
This is a hard one. Two of my clients, both brothers, a while back lost one of their two sisters. What’s worse is that is was at the hand of their sisters husband. He was an in law for over 30 years. They welcomed him into their home and their lives as any of us… Continue reading Family tragedy.
Our little secret.
It’s not all too common on long island. Probably more common in NYC and obviously much more common in other states like California and such, but I’m always intrigued with clients that get a little nip and tuck. Some are up front and tell me beforehand, and some say nothing and I stumble across a… Continue reading Our little secret.
Edible Genitals.
Ok so just recently I heard this little story that made me laugh. My client Laura that’s been coming to me for many years, as well as her family, was telling me when she was a kid her parents gave her and her siblings chocolate. Sounds innocent right? Well it first started with her describing… Continue reading Edible Genitals.

Rose, like the flower.
The first salon I worked in back in 1986 produced probably my one of my first clients that I still do today. I was very new and somewhat inexperienced. This is definitely a business that as much as I thought I knew, I’ve learn a huge amount since. There’s no way around that. Experience builds… Continue reading Rose, like the flower.

You see Stacey has been coming to me for so many years that I’ve know her child that is now in college since before its… Continue reading Together longer than most couples?
(S)trippy Timmy.
When I lived and worked in the Chelsea district of Manhattan I had a client Timmy that also cut hair. He was german with a pretty heavy accent and always would come into my salon and wait for me to be able to take care of his hair needs. He was always overly flirtatious with… Continue reading (S)trippy Timmy.
Oozy Susie.
Susie was a client of mine that I started doing back in the late 80’s and well into the late 90’s. She was an older church going irish woman that battled some alcohol demons. I used to perm her in a wedge like pattern every so often, or she’d have a short straight pixie type… Continue reading Oozy Susie.
