The Most Important Person in Your Beauty Life

Here’s how my mornings go…

6 AM the alarm goes off. I’ve got it set to a quack – which was cute at first, but some days it’s really not.

I hit snooze a couple times until I’m ready to not hear a quacking sound anymore, then I get out of bed. From there I walk to the bathroom, turn on the light and let my eyes fully adjust so I can look at my hair to see how it survived the night. As I’m brushing my teeth, I assess what needs to be done to get it ready for the day.

Most of the time, I can predict what it will do. In fact, I have to, because if I’m going to need to wash it I’ll need to budget some time for that waaay in advance. #thickhairprobs

Your morning may vary a little, but just like me, your day starts with your hair – washing it, fixing it, grimacing at it.

If you’re happy with it when you walk out the door, you can concentrate better, live life more fully. I know if I’m not happy with mine – the public better hide because nothing puts me in a bad mood faster. Which is why I’ve taken steps to ensure that never happens. And really, it’s rare.

Why? Because I’ve found the greatest hairdresser on the planet – Salon Barnes and Barnes – run by a husband and wife team who really know their stuff.

In the past, I’ve had hairdressers who would ask me questions every step of the way (kind of like the cabinet guy on Seinfeld). Then there’s the kind that chop away and yadda, yadda, yadda you’ve got bangs (I’m happy about it now, but I sure wasn’t happy about it 13 years ago).

Both Barnes’ are the perfect blend of asking you what you want and giving their input. Sometimes I know exactly what I want, and other times I want their input because I trust them. Implicitly. Have for 11 years.

When you go to someone as experienced and knowledgeable as they are, you can take them any hair problem and they’ll help fix it. I don’t have to deal with as much hair in the summer because they can cut it in a way where I lose the weight but keep the shape and length.

It’s a one-stop shop too because you can get your nails done, get a massage, and now you can get a facial. Then just walk across Market Square and finish the day off with some Rita’s Italian Ice – which has nothing to do with hair, but it’s amazing stuff.

So the answer to the question, “Who is the most important person in your beauty life?” It’s your hairdresser. Go get a good one at Barnes & Barnes. And I’m not being paid to say that, I’m just speaking the truth.
