I have been getting my hair cut at Gail's for several years now. Debi does a fantastic job at understanding my hair - which is thick, wavy and has a number of cowlicks. She is quick to point out that she may not agree with me and make suggestions, but it is done with humor and she is not offended if I say ""no let's do it my way."" I usually follow her advice though, because I know that the end result will be fantastic.\r
\r
I'm growing out my hair and I admit I avoided Debi for a few months until the length was established because I had left it short for so many years and we had discussions about growing it out before. But, when it became unruly - there is no one else I would go to to bring it back into line. And when it's long enough for locks of love we'll take it back to short.\r
\r
I even have all the men in my family going to Gail's. My husband loves the special attention and my son just entrusted his long locks to Jamie when he was ready to go back to short hair. Jamie made him feel like he'd made a contribution because she pony tailed his hair so it could be donated as well. The guys were not sure about going to a TRUE SOUTHERN BEAUTYSHOP, but they love it now. They are treated like family. \r
\r
It may not have the sophistication of some upscale salon where they hand you a glass of chardonay and a fluffy robe, but I wouldn't trade being treated like family for a few frou-frous. \r
Pros: Skillful cut, family fun, gotta love Ms. Gail, great service!
Cons: No wine - or is that No Whine?
