HAIR STORY: in my younger years, having my hair braided, the straight back look was difficult for some. I thought that would be the easiest to do, but remembering too many women were not great at making straight parts. I thought my hair was correct only because the number of braids were correct, BUT lots of times they were not even. Early 2000s designs/free style braiding was easier than straight back braids.

CURL UP & DYE beauty salon: funny name for a shop. Not certain if it is or was a actual shop. Watching THE BLUES BROTHERS movie!.

Clean shaved head, I think about my hair days. I like both looks, and both take time to manage. This look will stay.

This is the other side of the flyer advertising MANE ATTRACTION, hair studio.

I did NOT, meet everyone that works at this very clean hair studio or barber shop. I did meet two nice gentlemen and if the others that work there are as nice then as a customer you are good. If the work done is the same, this is the shop to visit.

FEBRUARY 21st, Raymond slim Williams, was born many years before me. Our paths crossed for a short time but he will remain present in my thoughts. 6 foot 7 inches tall, as a kid I remember looking up to him, and all the past years after his death, I still look up to him!. I remember watching him shave his bald head, thinking I will NEVER have to do that and many years later I shave my bald head every 2 days. Peace ALWAYS to SLIM, thanks for the memories and for showing me how to shave before my time came.
