Drastic Measures
Like many of you, I’m guessing over the last few months your normally scheduled appointments had been cancelled, postponed or rescheduled which left most frustrated over the state of their hair, nails, body, etc. This week, I’m happy to report I was able to FINALLY get my hair cut and highlighted, my eyebrows waxed and my feet shined up pretty. It felt like a gift directly from heaven.
Even though I was feeling frustrated, it seemed much worse on the men in my life. Their hair was driving them crazy. So much so, a few resorted to alternate measures. To begin my story, when my daughter was staying with me, her two cats Tillie and Leroy came as a packaged deal (Leroy with short grey hair and Tillie with long white hair). My daughter had been complaining how snarled it was getting and Tillie wasn’t the greatest at getting groomed; it would last only so long before her claws would come out. Hannah decided she needed to trim Tillie and ordered cat clippers. Over a week’s time, she had shaved Tillie, neck to legs. Tillie was only so patient for short bursts and therefore had to be shaved one or two passes at a time…..LOL.
Queue my son…..he had been complaining about his uncontrollable, wild hair and was ready to shave it off. Hannah said she had her cat clippers and could clean him up. He agreed and the clipping began. He was so impressed he thought it was about as good as going to his hair stylist. Hannah had done a great job, the word got around, and she ended up trimming both her neighbor and one of mine. They were all pleased with the cat clipper results…..haha.
Although I didn’t take part in the cat clipping escapades and drastic measures, I’m thankful my salon is finally open; I walked out of the building feeling like a new woman. What creative ways were used in your life during isolation? I love all the comical “drastic measure” stories that are unfolding.

PS…..Tillie’s trimmed fur felt like velvet and is now growing in nicely and tangle free. Plus she has a new pep in her step……not sure if the two are related, but perhaps she’s feeling like a new female too!
