Are You Still Walking Around in Your Own Hair?

Rat Tail Comb To The Rescue

A common rat-tail comb, along with other items in your purse, can be an effective weapon against an assailant.

Felix's Naughty Trick

Yesterday, Donna Lethal and myself were in the break room and we were furious.  Some of the recent changes around here had really pissed us off.  First they fire the salon manager, Bobbie Pinz, and bring in this June.  Then, this June decides to open the salon on Mondays and schedules me and Donna to work.  So of course we have to stay all day in case of any walk ins, but we each only have one appointment.  And now this crap about The Beauty Board and cerificates and licenses and bouffants!

"You are either born with rattail comb in your hands or you're not, and no amount of training or licenses are going to matter a damn!", Donna pronounced, and I quite agree.  Well since it was only 11 in the morning and her client wasn't scheduled till 11:30, she got up to mix us another pitcher of Kamikazes while I went to grab the bottle of Placidyls that were stashed in my station.  On the way I glanced at the appointment book:  Lethal's client at 11:30, mine at 12:30.  Shit, what a long day this was going to be.  Then I looked at the client names and a plot began to hatch in my already fevered mind.  I suddenly recalled the flattering frost job that Lethal did on me last year.  Flattering my ass!  I wound up looking like a half painted picket fence.  A green picket fence!  This could even the score but I had to work fast.

When I got back to the break room, there was Donna with her skit up over her head (big surprise) yanking off her pantyhose, muttering something about 'being comfortable'.  "Listen honey, we're the two best beauticians in the shop and everybody knows it," I said, pouring it on.  "Anybody can do a decent job on their regular clients, why don't we do each others clients today, then take pictures and submit them to the Beauty Board and prove our brilliance once and for all, it'll be faaaabulous!"  Well she fell for it hook line and sinker.  About that time, her client showed up and I did my magic and took her picture with my trusty poloroid (I never go any where without my poloroid).

Lethal was in the john doing a line, when my regular walked in.  "Oh Madam Lethal," I sang, "Your client is here..."




Heh, heh, heh.

Bouffant-A-Thon: Mr. Cookie's "Deer In The Headlights with Bow"


Be the you that is daring to be you:
the you that says "are you looking me?"

"Deer in The Headlights with Bow" is exactly that.  Eye catching. Feminine. Freeing.  Works with any style face: round, square, long or heart shaped.  Bow can be of contrasting or complimenting color, large or small, striped or solid and are sold at the receptionists desk.  See June for your bow fitting! 

Day or night, this is the "do" for those can and do do everything.

Bouffant-A-Thon















“May I have your attention please, ATTENENTION ALL BEAUTY OPERATORS PUT DOWN YOUR COMBS...This is an important message from the management.

The Beauty Board has stopped by the Hair Hall of Fame Salon to check on beauty operator certification.

All operators of the HHoF please submit examples of your very best bouffant’s by the end of the week. If you need a refresher please refer to the chart in the break room. Failure to comply will result in suspension of your operator license.

Thanking you in advance for your compliance,

June, Mgt.”

Heart Head




IBG Trade Show

Imagine my delight when sitting in traffic this morning to see rainbow-hued posters advertising the Ideal Black Gold Hair Trade Show in September! The only info I could see was this URL which I urge you to click on immediately.

I wish all HHOF beauticians could attend; hopefully I can pool my meagre tips and buy Felix and myself tickets!



Look what you win! (Besides the 6' tall black and gold trophy!) Naturally, "feminine attire only," is allowed.

She's going back to her roots


Tres glamourous, however she should have had those roots touched up before bussing off to wence she came, exotic Knoxville, Tennessee.
