Walked in, no appt, to Dimensions at Colony Plaza. Waited for Yanni, next available hairdresser.
Would I like a glass of wine? sure.............wait...
I get Yanni, about 25 years old, dressed in a black vested outfit with hat, nice accent. I asked if he was Greek? No, the name is Greek but he is Albanian.

Snappy repartee, not for publication....

Yanni is training Drew in hair, but Drew is a natural at massage and does my shampoo. I don't want my hair done, I want to shampoo again.

Admiring his cut on the back of my curly head, Yanni looks at the back of my head and says, “that is beyootiful.”
Me: Can you say that to my face?
He parks his head on top of mine and looks in the mirror at us: “and now we must marry the front of the hair to the back.”
Me: I am beautiful and you want to marry me?

got the best cut and color I ever had, left able to drive, had lots of fun. Yanni is a Master at hair. When he touches it authoritatively and asks you minimal questions what you want...you know he's going to make you look good, if you don't limit him telling him exactly how to do it.

Yanni, Dimensions, Colony Plaza,
shampoo by Drew..
321 Colony Blvd The Villages, FL 32162

say, "Kitty sent me"
You can say Gracie sent me too because Yani has been cutting my hair for a couple of years and he doesn't disappoint. BUT he isn't cheap. And he does a good job with an old girl like me.

Now neither of us will ever get an appointment. Thanks Kitty.
