Ralph's Hair Salon

Both of us always enjoy seeing Ralph for our haircuts. I ask him to do rather crazy things with my hair styles, and he always complies with a chuckle and an amazing feel for the idea. He's a genius! He's not ever allowed to retire!

I don't go to barbers because I have a lot of hair that I wear full. Not long, ponytail tail style, or anything. But long-ish and over the ears. Anything but the style of the 5-minute buzz saw that is synonymous with "haircuts" and "barbers".
