For haircuts, Mom and I are regular patrons of this wonderful and warm Korean woman who lives about 10 minutes away. She's bubbly and yet down to earth, and quite no-nonsense in her hair and life advice to me (my favorite nugget of wisdom from her today - "When you're young, you're automatically beautiful, so enjoy it and have fun!").
I love going to her house. She always has kids or grandkids running around. One of her adopted children is a small toddler with huge hazel eyes and a mop of ringlet curls. He's just a little angel. Very shy, but terribly cute when he wants to be. Like today, when we were leaving - we waved goodbye to him as he watched us go, sitting in the foyer. We heard a tapping noise behind us after we closed the door, and there he was knocking on the side windows and grinning at us when we looked back. And he just kept on tapping on the windows and waiting for us to look back. I wish I could say I was the subject of his affections, but he was definitely gazing at my mom in this adoring and pining way :)
Oooh and I love how her cuts turn out. Usually I just ask for a trim, I don't like fussing over my hair, and she's done with me in 5 minutes. This time though, I asked her for much shorter hair (it turns out that not fussing over your hair and going for a low-fuss style means eventually you have to fuss a lot because you've let your hair grow way too long in your strict attention to keeping things low-fuss..but I digress), showed her a couple of pictures, and - voila! In 5 minutes (I am not exaggerating), six inches of hair was gone and my head kind of breathed a sigh of relief..and it's back to being very low on the fuss scale :)
And now let's all breathe a sigh of relief that I'm done rambling about my hair :)
By the way, I hope to all deities this playlist works..I thought I had fixed the error that blogger.com keeps insisting I have in the embedding code, but who knows. Technology and I kind of go together like oil and vinegar =) I had fun putting this together, it goes back in time and across genres, and I hope you like it too.
