Go to Jail. Go Directly to Jail!


VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) - A Volusia County woman was arrested after several 911 calls were made complaining about a bad manicure.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office says on Sunday Cynthia Colston, 44, from Deltona, was fighting with her nail technician at Central Nails on Elkcam Boulevard in Deltona because she apparently didn’t like the length of her nails.

During the fight the nail technician was slightly injured but it was Colston who called Volusia County Sherriffs deputies to the salon. Investigators say while one deputy was inside trying to settle the dispute over payment, Colston was calling 911 again, for the fourth time. She called two times after her original 911 asking when deputies would arrive. With no emergency, and a deputy already on the scene, Colson was arrested and charged with misuse of the wireless 911 system and taken to the Volusia County Branch County Jail in Daytona Beach.

The Linda Lee (Supergirl) Hairstyle Poll

In 1961, our readers voted on a new hairdo from those pictured here to replace the pigtails then worn by Linda (Supergirl) Lee, as shown at left.

The Campus Cuddle-Bun was top choice.

Which would you have picked?

Or do you think Linda should have a hairstyle different from any of these?

Regarding this latest debacle.....

Things have sunk to a sorry state here at THHOF and I for one am appalled. Client's hair being burned straight off their scalps, careers being destroyed by the undisciplined meanderings of staff! Illicit drugs being distributed! I don't know why the board hasn't taken steps to shut us down! Seems we need to reconnect with some of our basics, revisit the nuts and bolts of everyday salon life.

I perused our text book and found a few items I feel need reexamination. Remember that we are not only responsible for the hair of our clients, but also for other, less hirsute regions as well.


REMEMBER
One must always maintain a, "Yes, I am too fabulous for you" attitude, not unlike the pose a sad queen might strike in a dark bar.



NOTE
"In shingling, the blade of the shears is held parallel with the comb." 
Yet with shagging, the tool is rarely parallel.


There will be a lecture on bullas next week. Pustules to follow.


Anyone caught in the second or third stages will be stripped and used as a visual aid.

There will be a pop quiz.

Hair Drama

It all started last Tuesday....

My long-time client, actress Evelyn Brent, came in for her weekly appointment.  She said she wanted an overhaul and that she'd like to have a perm.  "No problem", I chirped.  She's a great tipper anyway, and I knew this was going to get me some extra Christmas money.  So I get her wrapped and under the perm machine and then I go back to the break room for a cigarette.

There sits Donna Lethal staring at the push broom, giggling.  So I go, "Hey" and she says, "I have a present for you.  Close your eyes and open your mouth."  Well she makes this amazing fudge every year so I'm thinking, 'cool'.  I close my eyes and open my mouth and she throws this pill so far into the back of my throat, that I immediately swallow it.

"Merry Christmas" she purrs and starts to leave.  She gets to the door and turns around, and with a look of complete awe says, "You're really beautiful."  She glides around the corner.  Just as I was musing about just what substance she was on, the next thing I knew, time and my mind were locked in a race to see which could bend the furthest.

With my next lucid thought, I glanced at the wall clock and realized that 3 hours had passed.  Shit-Evelyn!  I ran out and got her unhooked from the machine, had her washed, and put her in my chair with her back to the mirror.  For the next 45 minutes I put every product in the shop on her hair and worked my ass off and finally got it looking pretty good.  She gave me a wad of cash and a kiss on the cheek and left.  Whew, I thought, that was a close one!

So Thursday in comes Joan Blondell.  She had seen Evelyn the day before and now she wants a perm.  (clearly Evelyn hadn't washed all the product out of her hair yet)  "Fab idea doll!  Follow me," I said.  I took her back, prepped her and got her under the machine and brought her a telephone.


As I started to head for the break room, Donna caught my eye and gave me the high sign.  'Oh no you don't' I thought and decided I'd be better served if I just straightened  and restocked the product shelves instead.  Just as I was putting out the last New Year's Eve tiara, I heard this blood curdling high pitched screech.  It was TJB, one hand on his pearls the other over his heart.  I wheeled around to the direction of his stare, and there was Evelyn:


She was completely out of her mind screaming, "You!  You've ruined my hair!  Ruined my Career!!  RUINED MY LIFE!!!"

All of this in front of Joan.


Before I could do anything to stop them, they had both managed to unhook Joan and the ran out of the place.

I turned around and everyone in the salon was staring at me.  Except for Donna Lethal who was nowhere to be seen......

Off Topic, But Shocking!!

YSL, legend.


I glanced at this picture of, whom I consider, my favorite clothing designer of all times, and noticed, there, about 2" below his jacket hem, Yves has Hangar Marks On His Trousers!!!  WTF!!! (go ahead, click the picture and gasp for yourself)

I'm so unnerved by this that I'm going to head straight for "Jason's Magic Healing Hands Massage Cabana" for a 90 minute session...with release.

Brenda Starr to the Rescue!

Larry Mathews' Beehive Protector

New from Larry Mathews…Set N’ Stay Pillow Slip!

Now your hair set stays in place while you sleep. No more rollers, curlers or hair nets.


“Larry Mathews... earned a reputation as New York's most wide-awake hairdresser by opening …the city's first 24-hour beauty parlor to serve insomniacs, talk-show guests, showgirls and other working women.”

'I'm sort of like a surgeon' he said in an interview with The New York Times in 1976. 'Not looking good is like a cancer. There's a lot of pain in not being beautiful.'
