straighten your curls

Monday, August 22, 2005
Yehia (the guy who owns the place) took me from long hair to short, and it was a thrill ride. The people who run the place are sweet, respectful, and devoted to their customers, and they always want to blow-dry and straighten your hair. The result for those who've never tried it is something like Mrs. Cosby, and it turns out to be kindof delicious. There's a neighborhood feel of people just hanging out--once the owner invited me to just come hang out, learn some things about doing hair if I wanted to. Walk in appointments seem to be ok. If you go, make sure to get Yehia to do your hair--he's got a flair. It seems like he's the artist in the place--sometimes he'll be cutting and they all gather round to see what he's inventing this time. It's a good haircut for not too much money.
