I feel it’s very important to tell you that I accidentally hit flowers when I meant owls. I love owls and my friend loves owls and she needs this message. So that’s my vote. Owls +1

I think this is maybe the universe’s way of reminding me to make an appointment with Abby to get my bangs trimmed??

I hadn’t had bangs for quite a long time but over the pandemic I buzzed my head and as it grew out, I knew I wanted them again. I brought my stylist in boston a picture of me at four years old with a curly little toddler mullet and straight across bangs. I felt more myself than I had in a long time

I also meant to hit Owls when I hit bees. I love owls. I thought the mourning dove(s) near my house was an owl for about a year. I hadn’t realized how much I wanted to live by an owl. Can you please consider me an owl vote?

Your column today is so good. Thank you. (I think this every time.)

I hate having my hair cut SO MUCH! People are like “it’s me time” and I’m like nooo it is the exact opposite people ask questions I don’t know the answer to and they have opinions I don’t agree with about my hair and no it is not relaxing to have someone else shampoo your hair I agree with toddlers on this matter.

I also dread haircuts for the small talk aspect. I also have a hard time making decisions in high social pressure situations, so if they ask how I'd like a certain part to look, usually I just defer to them. "Whatever you think would look best, you're the professional!" 🤷‍♀️

thank you as always for sharing as you do!

i like this part: "you don’t always have to wait for your bangs to grow out to get to a part you like."

i also like all the other parts.
