You sure like to twist things, Jill! As I said prior, the salon that I used
to go to had closed while I was out with my foot problem from last year. No
clue where my hairdresser went. When she left the salon closer to here, she
did call and give me the name and location of her new place of employment.
I began salon shopping and found this one.

There was one customer ahead of me and she was hinting around about putting
the AC on. Not "all" of the customers. I didn't hang out there all day and
I have no clue what (if anything) any of the other customers said.

I have a very busy schedule right now and I am most assuredly not going to
get into the reasons why. Not here anyway. Because I have been so busy, I
hadn't gotten a haircut when I needed one. I finally couldn't stand it any
more and got lucky and was able to get in right away. This woman has no
other employees and only works certain days and hours. Normally it takes
two weeks to get an appointment.

And going somewhere else wouldn't really have bettered the situation. While
it is possible that there is a salon somewhere here with AC, I don't know of
any. Perhaps some of the ones in the mall but I hate going to the mall and
I have seen the kinds of haircuts they produce there. Not my thing.
