Brooklyn Flavor

Last night, I decided to return to my roots (shut up, I’m a natural blonde!), and for once forsake the glamour of the city for the comfort of hometown allegiance.

I spend a lot of my time loitering about in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn. It is the home of some of my best friends, my favorite coffee haunt, the greatest of hidden sushi treasures…logic would suggest that there were a few impressive salons in its midst. It was time for me to find out.

A step into a vintage-era beauty parlor, Medusa Salon is all brightly painted walls and inviting homey furniture. The walls are covered with the work of local artists, and the patrons flocked in leopard robes. For weeks, I passed by this apparent color and cut oasis, intrigued, but not yet ready to make that first move and enter its doors.

Then I realized what were once my bangs were getting caught in my pearly whites and it was time to stop being a sissy.

At Medusa, I made an appointment with Heather for a cut and style. Heather commiserated about my fears - the need for a healthy, manageable (but fun) style, but the fear of losing length. She then got to snipping, and within a half hour I had my new look - chin-length with gently angled layers, but still long enough to have movement (and a pony tail - all a girl can really ask for).

I just may have to go back and add some color. (Non-leopard, that is.)
