Hair is a big deal with the Senior Set. I speak from experience, when I write that hair and hairdressers are the number one concern, of many of our female residents. And, for a few of our people, there is only one hairdresser, in the world, good enough for them.....the one that they have been seeing for years!
We have an experienced, qualified and excellent cosmetologist, working in a nice salon, right here, in our building. She does haircuts, on both men and women, wash/sets and perms. Many of our residents are pleased with her work.
Unfortunately, a few of our folk refuse to make a change in hairdressers, when making the move to our building. They refuse to use our in-house salon, saying that they want to continue seeing the hairdressers they have had for years. Okay. We are fine with that. It is a free country. However, not only do they want to continue frequenting their "old" stylists, they want us to provide rides, to and from these other businesses. And, because we won't, they have gotten pretty snippy about it.
Listen up folks. A hair cut is not a life and death decision. A hair cut is bad or good for about three weeks., or a month at the most. Then, chances are, you might need another one. The same goes for a permanent wave, which is, in spite of the name, never permanent.
In the 19th Century, a woman's hair was considered her "crowning glory". That was 200 years ago, and times have changed. Ask anyone who has lost hair, due to Cancer or some other illness, and they will gladly put the subject of hair, in perspective for you.
Your hair does not define you. Wherever you choose to have your hair done, let's hope that your hairstyle improves your looks and your disposition.
Dearest and all-knowing Lord. I know that some of our prayers sound like demands. Show us patience and give us temperance. In Your Name we pray.
