Have you ever walked into a place and thought, woh: I'm out of my element. I did that tonight when I went to Hair A Go*Go to get my hair cut. I went there because I know one of the stylists through Vineyard friends, and she's the wife of someone who also works at ARS.
Anyway the place is very 'runway' with really bright lights, really colorful racks of endless hair and makeup products, trays of Hershey kisses and mints on coffee tables, and a very trendy couched and carpeted waiting area. Another girl took my coat and hung it up for me. I was seated in a chair at a mirror specifically for hair diagnosis, where we talked about what I wanted with the cut. I mentally noted how much I dislike the types of lights used aside this mirror (which burn green negative images into my retinas!), where I sat staring at my tired-after-work-looking self for 3 minutes before my stylist came over. It's the kind of scene where I can't help but compare my features to the other "stylish" people around me. I realized how square and wide my chin is.
Anyway the cut was good, although she left my bangs a little straight because she blow-dried them, which I would never do. They're wet now after my shower or I'd take a new photo.
I was excited to learn that Hair A Go*Go gives complimentary bang cuts, too.
Oh also! Knitting Mill Antiques, next to Hair A Go*Go is just the type of antiques place I've been wondering where to find in Chattanooga. I browsed for a while before my hair cut appointment. I found an antique Italian accordian with pearly keys, some really neat furniture that I would put in my home, and a combination buffet cabinet and pump organ, ha. So fun. I absolutely love these types of places. Mostly because you can browse thousands of interesting items and trinkets for hours. I can't wait to fill a home with interesting (but not uselessly interesting) things.
