I AM No Shrinking Violet

After listening to a few of the stylists that attended a recent hair show in Orlando, Fla, the question has been brought up, how much would you pay for a haircut? Ted Gibson has been in the beauty business for 23+ years and he charges $750 for a haircut. He's done many stars hair like Angelina Jolie.  He's been on the tv show What Not To Wear as well. So, tell me, what constitutes to you the worth of a $750. haircut? What do you think it takes to acquire star status? I've done hair for 28 years. I've been honored for my years of service by AVEDA and also by Michigan State Representative Tim Moore. Does my knowledge and skill that I've acquired allow me to charge that?

To me, the Red Phoenix signifies peace, the shedding of the old skin, new life and forming the new. In my dream I saw floating, dainty red feathers surrounding my broken body, protecting me. Leaving the ashes of my burned and broken soul in the dust to create a new life for my self bringing peace, prosperity, happiness, love and JOY .  The true key to unlocking the happiness factor is joy. The most beautiful creature I have ever seen is the Red Phoenix. A monumental moment of discovery of a different world of transformation and renewal. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind.  Romans 12:12 And what is remarkable is budding hope . At least there is hope for a tree. If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its new shoots will not fail. Its roots may grow old in the ground and its stump die in the soil, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth shoots like a plant. Job 14:7-9
