Tell Me

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

Beauty School

I had a delightful student haircut experience at Aveda Institute earlier this week. The experience begins with a scalp and shoulder massage using your choice of aromatherapy oil. Then the wash, cut, style follows. The students are usually kind and enthusiastic, and the instructors are on hand for both approval and to save the day where necessary.

As the student was blowing out my hair this week, I happened to look over at the "station" next to me. The student-stylist was sitting in the chair with a mannequin's head in her lap working intently on cutting gum out of the it's hair.

I guess that if they don't teach that in beauty school, where else are you going to learn? Who would have guessed?
