Funemployment, Day Sixty Nine: Sit Still!

yesterday i finally got off my butt to get that free haircut i mentioned a few weeks ago. Sit Still Salon in venice is hopping on the funemployment train and offering a free haircut on Mondays to anyone who can prove they're unemployed. good marketing ploy and good karma.

and a good haircut too! my hair is pretty boring and basic and i almost felt bad i wasn't trying something crazier. but i'm still scarred by a bad junior high school cut and perm (no really. blonde afro. litle orphan annie. really.) and am loathe to stray from my tried and true.

but tifanie was great nonetheless. she was really sweet (used to be a disneyland photographer!) had great advice for caring for my babyfine tangly hair, and never tried to give me the hard sell on products i'll never need. on top of that i got good coffee and plentiful copies of the tabloids. and as my mom pointed out, one of the owners cuts the hair of coldplay, "whatever that is". :)

so if you're in the market for a new salon or stylist check her out. and even if you're not funemployed they have a special for first-timers. $44 for a cut and blowdry. http://www.myspace.com/sitstillsalon
