Kitty Hawk is a fantastic hair salon in the neighborhood. You should go!

To start with the most important thing, I now have a very cool haircut (if I do say so myself) and Lo managed it in spite of my very unhelpful request. “I want it…shorter…and…more interesting.” Somehow she turned this into a cute hair style that I still can airdry. Magic! (I was only slightly panicked when I saw all that hair falling to the floor – shorter feels risky to us long-haired girls.)

KH has an open and interesting style. Lo stores all her hair cutting supplies in an old armoire with a huge mirror on the door. The armoire is perfectly suited to the job, and seems so improvised and fresh. Lo is so hip.

As a side benefit, Lo has an adorable Boston Terrier that will come make friends but isn’t too friendly. This little darling spent his whole life in hair salons, so he could probably offer up some good style advice if anyone ever asked him. Meeting him made me spend the evening searching for Boston Terriers on PetFinder, and as a general rule I can’t stand buggy-eyed dogs. He is such a sweetie!

Remember to bring cash or your checkbook – Kitty Hawk is cheap, but doesn’t take credit cards. She let me go home for cash without leaving anything, which feels so small town and trusting.

I’ve never felt all that loyal to a salon before – but I’m hooked!
