October 28, 2014. Canyon Lake, Texas. A Barber Shop.

Ken was looking like a mad scientist. His hair was sticking straight up in every direction. His new barber in Nova Scotia, Mr. Payzant, left his hair too long on the top so Ken was in need of a haircut. He looked up in the computer to find a barber close by. It seems there are fewer barbers around these days but he found one in Startsville. Yesterday it was closed so this afternoon we tried our luck again. Have you ever seen a lady barber? I never had. And the barber shop was decorated for Halloween. Along with the lady barber there was also a six year old granddaughter, who promptly blew up a balloon for me. The barber was efficient and quick and Ken was soon finished. Outside is a sign saying "under new management". A young man came in while I was waiting for Ken so she must be building up her customer base. I wish her well and hope she stays in business a long time. Ken's new barber is very nice and she is cheap but I wonder if a lady barber will be popular? We are going to find out.
