We just got this in from a Greer's OC subscriber: I HAD to write you to let you know that one of your pics, Madison Salon in NB on 30th Street, is the answer to my hair prayers! [She goes on to say she's gone through more than a dozen stylists in four years trying to get her hair color right.] I'll end with this. I FREAKIN' LOVE MY HAIR. I have naturally curly, beginning to gray, hair. I have a toddler and I am 7 weeks pregnant. I am 39 tomorrow. Do I need to emphasize more intensely how fabulous it is for me (amidst the more grievous challenges that face us today!) to LOVE my hair??? I feel like a rock star. No, better. I feel like Jennifer Aniston. No, better. I feel like Giselle. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You have a subscriber for life.
