So, I’m SO in need of a haircut.

My hair is usually short and neat. I know exactly when it’s time because everything goes out of whack! People will say “Man, you need a haircut!” So I go.

I have been going to the same stylist (Claudia) at the same salon called Cuts and Perms for 30 years. It’s like 5 minutes from The Gallagher Compound in Antelope, Ca.

Why? You might ask?

Because I hate change. Mostly, I hate small talk. Small talk can send me over the edge.

“Hey, how ‘bout that rain, huh?”

“Workin’ hard or hardly workin?”

“That item won’t scan? I guess it must be free, then!”

Claudia understands me. She knows I don’t like it. And I don’t really like having anyone else there when I’m being coiffed! Oh, and I also like to enjoy a beer while my hair is serviced. I’m kinda strange, huh?

So, when I got the text this week, let’s just say I was devastated.

“Hey buddy! How are you? I need to tell you that Cuts and Perms is no longer there. We got evicted. Saturday was my last day. I will keep you posted as to where I’m going. Hopefully I’ll find somewhere soon? So sorry! Please stay in touch with me? Thank you! ~Claudia

How can this be? I’m lost. Sport Clips? Great Clips?

“So, what do you do for a living? Do you live around here? Tell me about your family…                          

How ‘bout that rain, huh?”

From a person I don’t know who comes with enough piercings that they can’t fly commercially?   Not that I'm judgmental?
Maybe I should just shave my head?

All kidding aside, we need to find a new home for Claudia. She is really terrific! 

If anyone knows of a position, contact me here:
