Just when you thought we couldn’t blame the recession for anything else, here’s one more negative impact: bad hair.

A hair style really makes everyone feel lots better about themselves. I love the new short bob looking cut that is tapered in really close to the nape of the neck. I went to Cindy Rhines and got her to cut mine. I felt very comfortable to sit in her chair. We use to work together…
