At the Beauty Shop

When I was growing up, a place where you got your hair cut was called a Beauty Parlor and the women who worked there were known as Beauticians.  Today we refer to them as Styling Salons, Stylists and Technicians. The dictionary defines "salon" as: a large room, such as a drawing room, used for receiving and entertaining guests. I think that is an apt description as visiting a Styling Salon can be especially engrossing.

This is Groomhilda, an animal beautician.  She combs and cuts the tangles from the little critters' hair.  As she cleans and fluffs them, the animals tell her all the current gossip.  The bunnies keep up on the latest  buzz. Groomhilda is very environmental.  She saves the fur, spins it into yarn and knits sweaters for her coatless friends.
