This is Michelle she found me in yelp. I don’t ever check my reviews because I cannot stomach anything negative. Many internet people have come into the shop and get turned off when they see it’s not a snobby beautiful salon. No. Its a humble 80s old fashion salon. They come once and you don’t ever see them again. They’ve even made rude comments: “Oh this is where you work?! As they roll their eyes in disgust. Well you know I can switch shops and go to a snobby beach city salon and charge you $200 dollars for your color retouch. I can also get cheap wine and pour it in a cup and tickel your ears. But you see that is not what I am about or maybe I should be. As I gather my life in order I will definitely be making changes..for now will stay in my Chinese Salon with its incense. At least I can say that May the owner of the shop is KIND, NICE, and PLEASANT to ALL my clients. She doesnt play favortism according to their skin color, religion or material things. That is rare to find nowadays. She does get on my nerves sometimes but its not enough for me to make a move just yet. I appreciate her not raising my rent..and I’ve been there for 7 years. I must appreciate my lot in life.
Back to hair, I gave Michelle highlites and toned it with PM Shines. She found me on yelp. This is her third time with me. She brings her mother in and we have the best laughs ever..I am so thankful they are both happy clients. Her hair is super fine and limp and so I wet set it with rollers to give it body. We have this inside joke that we are going to marry longshormen and that I will only come to work to twice a week. She works in San Pedro. I lived there for 9 years. Many longshormen live there. The talk is that everyone in Pedro is related. None really leave the lil’ city, it seems cultish in a cute strange way. I remember when I first moved there I went the bank and I saw a older couple, then I went to the 99 cent store and saw the same couple..went to a restaurant and saw the same couple on the same day!!! I was with my nephew and he said look auntie its the same people! I almost screamed. I felt like I was in a bad episode of the Twighlite Zone. It took me 6 months to feel at home but when I did I loved it! I am looking forward to moving back ..the drive is taking ALL my hard earned money on gas to work. Ain’t nobody got money to be flushing down the drain. I can use that gas money on other more important things. Well gotta go..(panting) I have to rush and get haircolors..and text clients back before my day gets started..Chao!😅
