Small town hair salons

Category: Serendipity | Posted: Sat Jun 30, 2018 5:55 pm

I love small town hair salons. You know your stylist's name, she knows you, your pets, your interests. You know the name of her kids, their progress in school, her pets names, and what her preferences are in bread and cookies.

The salon I go to has a sofa and coffee table for waiting in comfort. The table usually has a bag or two of tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, beans, etc. from clients' gardens. Free for the taking--just help yourself! One of the ladies makes the most marvelous refrigerator pickles, and sets jars out for folks to take home and enjoy.

I take extra eggs in once a week, and ladies bring egg cartons for me to re-use. They are also very careful to return any plastic containers that had soup, marinara sauce, any frozen goody, and have even purchased and given me small containers for herb butters.

A small town hair salon is more than a place to get a cut and set. It's a place to connect with other ladies, exchange recipes, news (not gossip!) and just feel welcome and happy!

Hi, I'm new to the forum. My name is Cheryl. I live in Lakeland, Florida. I saw the picture of your orange-ish rain lilies. Very pretty. Would you be interested in swapping anything I might have? If so, I could list what I have. and I would send you my swap first. So, you will know I am an honest person. Thanks. Cheryl

This is something that I have never heard of. Maybe I ought to start going to one of those places. I could put on a wig for them to cut and set.

Shucks, the take-away food sounds great, plus I could chat up a coupla birds. I might get lucky. All this would of course have to be done on the QT, as the Bride has a buggy whip stashed-away somewhere.
