Happy Birthday, Cookie!

"Receptionist Mr. Peenee speaking..."



"Yes, that's right. All "blow and go's" are half price today. Why, you ask? We're celebrating the birthday of The Hair Hall of Fame manager and creator, Mr. Cookie!"

All together now

You make The Hair Hall of Fame such a sweet place to be.

Can You Hear Me Now?

Our team of stylists can work wonders with your hair and minimize your most glaring flaws. In the photo above the talented Mr. Cookie demonstrates the proper hairstyle to disguise Norma's enormous hearing aid.

Please won't you meet, my neighbor?

Meet Ted Williams, panhandler, before his appointment with the stylist.  His scary hair may have impacted his donations at Hudson Street and I-71.

And Ted Williams, a day later, now former panhandler, after meeting with a stylist.

See what a good do can do for you?

The husband and I were watching TV yesterday and they were doing this story about a panhandler with a golden voice on the national news.  And as they cut to the tape, the husband said - "Hey, that's our freeway ramp!"  And I said, "Hey that's our homeless person!"

And sure as the sun comes up in the east and sets in the west, there was our scary looking (but very polite) panhandler who works the ramp not more than three blocks from Ville d'Cookie!  Of course we literally live on the other side of the tracks from his former place of employment. 

Well now that Ted has vacated his ramp, the place was quick to fill up with all manner of people today at noon jockeying for position, hoping for handout and their BIG BREAK.  A gummy older man proclaimed that "He," presumably Ted, "don't have anything on me. I speak as good as he do."

Yeah, I don't think so.

Still, we take a certain amount of pride that our homeless person has become an overnight sensation, with the help of a chance encounter, a seductive voice and some wild hair that is now under control.

Mothers of your host hairdressers

Mother Cookie

In her day, Ask The Cool Cookie's mother was client of Joey & Tano in Shaker Heights.  She was also patron of Salon Alberto. 

Now 85, she remembers as a young girl growing up on a rural farm in Ohio and how she would use a small glass of water to wet her finger tips to set her hair before bed (which she shared with her younger sister - a line drawn on the sheet in pencil deliniated the center of the bed that neither was allow to cross) and if this was done in the winter - and the farm house had no electricity in the days before the REA, and thus no central heat - the water in the glass would freeze solid over night.

Miss Tammy Wynette

Tammy was a one time hairdresser and did her own hair for years.  I met her back in 1995 when she performed at the Banquet at the Annual Meeting for the company that I used to work for.  She was a tiny, tiny woman, really no bigger than a minute, but she sand for two solid hours, backup up by a huge band.  She was a true professional - one of my favorites.
