\"It is my considered opinion that the hairdresser is the most influential person in any community. When the public goes to a hairdresser, something happens to them. They feel safe. They relax. The hairdresser knows what their skin is like under the makeup; they know their age; they don\'t have to keep up any type of pretense. People tell a hairdresser things they wouldn\'t dare confess to a priest and they open up about matters they try to conceal from a doctor. When people place their secret lives in the hairdresser\'s hands, the hairdresser gains an authority few other people attain. I have heard hairdressers quoted with complete conviction on art, literature, politics, economics, childcare and morals. I tell you that a clever, thoughtful, ambitious hairdresser wields a power beyond the comprehension of most people...\" ~John Steinbeck I reside in Durham Nc and work in downtown Raleigh NC at Bottega (A Hair Studio)..I have been in the salon industry as long as I can remember, my mom was also a stylist. I most recently have found my \"hair home\", at Bottega, a place where I work with great people, and am able to truly represent my own art with each client that walks through the door and into my chair. There is no better feeling than seeign someone walk out the door feeling sexy, beautiful and re-inspired with themselves from the work I have shared with them.
