Getting your hair cut is an intimate experience, and finding a new stylist is like meeting a new sexual partner. You have to find out if you're compatible. If they're worth the cost and risk. You wear your hair on your head every single day, so whomever is manhandling it better know how to handle a pair of scissors. With upcoming hair fashion show Pale Primates, Snip Salon will put you at ease, and have you kicking back and letting the cutting begin. Snip stylists Solange Sarria and Abeah Hunter are organizing a full-on fashion extravaganza to showcase the talents of the salon's staff. Sarria says one of the purposes of the affair is to "offer more awareness that we're there," on the beach. She says, "We have a very strong creative team." And, the proof is, as they say, in the Pale Primate pudding.
