A fellow hairdresser once told me, "When the cape goes around the neck of the nicest person in the world, she grows horns." This autobiography spans nearly thirty years in the hairstyling profession and satirically exposes the infinite facets of human nature from both sides of the styling chair. The story of my fledgling years as a hairdresser, personal growth and the poignant events which led me to own my own business, will surely entertain both hairstylist and their clients. Veterans of the business will nod their heads in agreement as they recall their own difficult customers, headstrong co-workers and tyrannical bosses. Anyone considering a career in cosmetology will benefit from the advice and experience this book imparts. These pages describe a journey through a lonely and abusive childhood. My hunger for a fulfilling marriage and family life turned sour when a cheating husband threw me into the arena of the newly divorced, single parent in the working world. As a result, I found my soul mate, my real father and a brother. The tales tell of silliness and sadness, frustration and success along with observations of humanity with wet hair.
