If I don’t get to my hairdresser soon enough, I start to wield the scissors and the hair color.

I always feel better when I get your hair done, it’s a great little boost, a great skill that I have come to appreciate. In hair school, they taught her to never give free hair cuts, except to your mom. Lucky me.
