My salon is full service. I usually only handle cuts myself. But every once in a while, my friend Bobby, who works for a talent agency, sends one of his offices clients in. Then I do everything myself~ cuts,coloring, nails, massage, whatever they need, I do myself, to make sure its perfect. The hardest thing for me sometimes, is maintaining my composure around such beautiful and exciting people.
Late one afternoon last week, after everyone else had gone home, a limo pulled up outside the door. I couldn't believe who got out. Eddie Vedder. He apologized for not having an appointment, and asked if I had time for him. Of course I did. I had finished my last appointment and was about to lock up. Everyone had already gone home. What do you need, I asked him. He wanted a hair treatment and cut, a manicure, and a pedicure. This is going to take a while, I thought to myself, trying to stay calm. I had him sit at the sink and lean his head back so I could wet his gorgeous mane. Then I massaged in the conditioning treatment.
While the treatment was in his hair, I started his pedicure. After soaking his feet, I dried them and began to rub one of his feet with a pumice stone. He squirmed and laughed. "Haven't you ever had this done before?" I asked him.
