the "i" in vain
In dire need of a haircut (and expecting a decent tax return), I've booked an appointment at this place. It'll require a day trip into Seattle, but I am undeterred! The place comes highly recommended by the good people at naturallycurly.com, so I'm all super-excited about it. Even more so since I checked out their website.

At VAIN, we recognize and accept our responsibility for influencing people's perceptions about themselves and their bodies. We are committed to fostering personal self-expression and a "do-it-yourself" philosophy. VAIN works to disrupt unrealistic and harmful beauty standards from our position within the industry by expanding the definitions of beauty and style.
I am so ready to do something with my curls. Just give them a little shape. Or something.

That's not so much to ask, is it?
