Sparkles for New Year’s Eve

Tis the season for holidays parties, and of course I am overdue for a new haircut. Do you want to know a huge secret? My long, silky Asian hair is my pride and joy but lately, it has been a huge dry, static mess due to the cold Chicago weather. So when Hair Cuttery reached out to me about trying out their services, I happily obliged and squealed with happiness when I found out there was a location 5 minutes away from my house. I was lucky enough to do a walk-in yesterday as I was in the...
