HAIR AS ART THERAPY

Celebrity Rehab.

On a recent snowed in day I caught up on my crap television. This particular time slot happened to have a Celebrity Rehab marathon, which is good for me since I find Dr. Drew to be incredibly sexy. Captured in one of the episodes is the highly neurotic group heading to their art therapy session. I didn’t think too much of it until all of the rehab-ers theatrically explained their individual paintings and what they meant. Undeterred by the fact that these people still seemed just as nuts when they left as when they entered the building, a thought sprang forth into my mind, could doing hair be considered art therapy? I am just as crazy when I get to work as when I leave, but in that space in the day that I am creating colors and artfully cutting I feel alive. When I am away from the salon for a few days I become stir crazy. I feel a bit lost. My sister has always tried to tell me that when things are going badly I bury myself in work. Not so sister! I am choosing my particular canvas to be human hair, and maybe I suck a little off my clients good moods and steal some for myself – is that so bad?
