Just got my haircut, blow dry today. have gone to same hairstylist for last 6 yrs. But her rates are gettin' high even though she is quite skilled and understands my hairstyle preferences. She does occasional stuff for charity with her skills ie. shave 20 cops bald for a cancer fundraiser.

Amazingly she offered to give me free of charge, a wash and blow dry on my birthday which is coming up next month...only because we were talking about aging and health. I mentioned I was going to hit the big 5-0 and take a vacation day off from work.

A nice gesture by her ..if I'm around in town that day to take up the offer. Not sure what I would like to do or whatever that day.
