You all know me and my hair thing right? It's like women of color...oh, wait...
I am one. In a Greek sort of colored way. It's ALL about the hair.
Can't wash it every day, can't use too much heat, color - oh God don't get me started.
Over
the summer around early July (there's a coincidence coming here, just
wait) I met a gorgeous mom at the pool, just days before my hair
appointment at "Salon-who-shall-not-be named"
This gorgeous mom (just look at her y'all?) named Toni Cooper, says "I'm a Stylist, here's my number, you might need
it later"
Enter the 1st of September -
My gray is 12 feet long, my "Husky Red" is abalone pink (I warned him. Hey, it was a freebie, maybe THAT was the problem? Not.)...and I resemble Cyndi Lauper on an 80's meth binge.
Fear wrack's my soul.
To buy a box or twelve and let poor Lara be traumatized for life trying to color me, or - call Toni?
Whom
(here's the coincidence part. Could you PLEASE keep up?)
coincidently is a (school who shall not be named) refugee, and a new
Wilson Arts Integration School parent.
(Apparently my blabbing at the
pool all summer did some good. It's rare, but it happens occasionally)
So there we are in the halls at Wolf Night and whom do I see, but the gorgeous mom Toni from the pool.
A sign! The Goddess Medusa has shown me the way!
A sign my gray/brown/reddish/pink hair was to be placed in her hands, a sign I'll never be under 40 again...sigh.
So, I took four Valium and made the call. (breathe Apostol, breathe)
Within
2 hours I was sitting in her station at N Style Salon, a 12 year
veteran of "The Follicular Defragging Force". Hemming and Hawing about
what I wanted.
Finally, and with great trepidation, I
relinquished my crowning glory, yet once again. Can you say "Color
Correction?" Yep, thought so.
Let me tell you about N-Style Salon since I've bored
you to death again talking about my hair (hey, some of you get it, some
of you don't)
Remember the old "Blue Corn Cafe"? The ginormous
warehouse/barn looking New Mexican restaurant on Penn & Memorial
that bombed miserably?
Hello "N Style Salon!
Good-Bye bombing miserably!
Rochelle Hale bought the building and turned it into a Full Service Salon & Spa. I couldn't even get the whole building in my viewfinder.
Rochelle
left several of the circular booths in place, setting aside an area for
her nail techs (very smart) most of the original fixtures are still in
place, making way for a Southwest meets Urban feel.
The photos don't do it justice, mainly because I had a crappy camera at the time, but the place is simply fabulous, as is Super-Mom Toni Cooper.
The head of the Wilson PTA was ceremoniously coiffed
by Ms. Cooper, I will be returning next week hopefully, because Toni knows her stuff. It's not all a bunch of
hype and promotion at "N-Style". No wasting money on fluff.
I can't speak for the other stylists, but Toni, a hard working single mom who trained under Duncan Bros., doesn't ignore you when you tell her how your hair behaves. She listens, therefore I trust her explicitly with my hair. (but I trusted the last guy also. See where that got me?)
The place is big enough your entire wedding party can
book it at once - hence N-Style Salon's "Wedding Packages"...OK, now
I'm getting depressed.
Check out the N Style Flickr photo set here...
Just trust me, if Toni can handle this mop, she can handle ANYTHING.
(That grimace is pain, but NOT from my hair looking a bad like tie dye job on a Dead T-shirt anymore)
Since Toni has, like myself four-years and counting, fallen head over heals for our magical Arts Integration School, Faculty and P.T.A...the entire month of October she's giving a 10% discounts to all Wilson families,( kids included ) on all Cuts and Colors.
Proceeds will go toward off-setting classroom expenditure.
On a good day this comes out of our Educators pockets. On a bad day Mr. Hoppers has to Fly signs on the corner...it's just not right.
