WAIT FOR ME!!...I am going to Crystal at "Cutters Cove" on Tuesday in another attempt to find a hairdresser that is good, honest, not pushing products AND off of the Villages property (pricing comparable to Metro Orlando's NOT like what I paid in NYC). I got the recommendation from this website and will let you know!! Hang in There!!

My wife and I felt fortunate when we discovered "Renee H." at Cal's in Brownwood. Very happy with her after trying several other places. She does both men and women's hair. Price is reasonable, and her personality is excellent.

Default Pricey Haircut

I know our water softener helps my hair look silky and smooth. When it starts looking dry and frizzy I go check the salt level and sure enough we are out. This experience is from this house and our last one too. Wouldn't be without one.

Michael used to be my stylist and, yes, he is excellent. Unfortunately, I found him to be very unreliable; such as not showing up for work due to "social obligations." Has that changed?

I use Brianne at Cal's. She's in the new location @ Brownwood. It took me almost 2 years to find someone that could give me the cut I wanted. Prices are very good.

My personal opinion is that the intense sun damages your hair and makes the color skewed in a very short time. The humidity makes it either curl or go limp and straight which ever direction you are not heading for. I don't think the water quality does it, I think the sun does.

As a result, not being able to stay blonde, I have gone to white. My ancestors white, they don't seem to gray.

Having had a water softener for almost 30 years, and having very coarse/frizzy hair that netted me the nickname George Washington in the sixth grade, I can honestly say that the water softener makes a big difference in the texture of my hair. I too can tell the minute the salt runs out, both on my skin and on my hair. The former itches and the latter stands up like one of those science experiments.

MS. FRANCE, YOU LIE. I have never seen your hair doing anything but behaving nicely, just like your dog, Crosby.

You are so sweet, but that's because I've never run out of salt prior to being in your presence!

Crosby has a case of the frizzies today. Peeing in the rain and all that. He's quite put out at his bad hair day.

any business within the Villages, must pay the developer his cut monthly, so all prices are higher within. Leave the ranch, into the outlying towns, a better deal.

I have had success with the keratin treatments for frizzy hair. Pricey, but lasts for months.

Be sure your husband does not find out.
