I've spent the last thirty-five years of my life up to my elbows in hair. From shampoo assistant to top stylist to owner of a hair salon for eighteen years, I've seen this shaggy world evolve from simple beauty parlors to extravagant hair boutiques. From dysfunctional workplaces and nutty clients to the joys and sorrows of salon ownership, I feel it's finally time to lather up all the dirty details of what life is like behind the chair.

This is a life journal of my experience in the hair industry, a compilation of stories and situations that I've experienced from years behind the chair and a road map on how to get through it to succeed.

All the good, the bad, and the hairy.
