How Mommyhood Can Make You Money
AMAZING HAIR STYLYIST LEAD – YOU WILL L O V E HER!
For the past 14 years, I have been going to the same hairdresser. When I started Jens List, a few different stylists asked if they could do my hair, so I “cheated” – but ALWAYS ended back at Kristy as she is the ONLY one that I ever felt knew how to color and cut my hair. Because life got so busy and it was hard for me to block out a chunk of my time during the days she was at the salon, I asked her if she would come to my house and do my hair. Of course, she said yes….So – I asked if I can post to the group and she said ok! She works at Savvy Salon (www.savvysalon.com) in Westlake Village and will NOW also come to YOU(anywhere in the SFV/Conejo Valley) on Monday’s. One little caveat…she has 2 little of the most well behaved boys(aside from mine…LOL) that tag along…BUT I just put on Elmo and gave them some trucks and they were wonderful. Clearly, this is not for everyone(and if its not, I HIGHLY suggest going to see her at her salon), but if you want to hang at home, have your hair done and chat with a totally cool chick….call Kristy at 805-551-2040 or email her at klscissorhands@yahoo.com
