“When you see that much blonde hair on the floor, you know something is going on,” says Nicole Butler, creative director and master colorist at Daniel’s Salon in Dupont Circle. During the notoriously slow month of November, her salon received a startling number of bookings, with at least three women a day sitting in her chair and asking for a drastic change, like cutting off six inches, going black, or going platinum. “Usually stuff like this is planned for weeks and put on the books after several consultations, but this was very spontaneous,” Butler says. “It was like a mass declaration of independence.” Clients, especially those over 40, expressed a feeling of loss and uncertainty, says Butler. “Maybe this is some kind of compensation for not getting what we wanted in the election. By changing our hair, we can control the outcome.”

“When you see that much blonde hair on the floor, you know something is going on,”

Yep. Sure nuf.

FYI:
Labs only shed twice a year; 6 months in the spring; 6 months in the fall.

Boom times coming in the mental health services field.

One of my daughters had her nape shaved. She asked me what I thought.
“I hate it, of course!”
I still love her, but it looked silly, unless she wore it all down.

Clinton foundation donors got theirs five weeks ago.

Yes, it’s almost Biblical. So the joke’s on them!

[alstewartfan]

This is your woman with short hair!
ANY QUESTIONS?

"...By changing our hair, we can control the outcome.”

Women should not be allowed to vote.

I’m bald and demand an alternative way to demonstrate my feelings about the election!

Post-Traumatic Trump Les Mis Disorder. You know in your heart that they 'feeeeeeel' this way! Losers.

[Az Joe]

And these are supposedly strong, professional women who want to be taken seriously?

I won’t make fun of them- I’ll just point them to a renown therapist who has some very very good advice for them:

makes the ones to stay away from easier to spot

When I was in DC as an intern in the late 80s, we referred to DuPont Circle as “Bouffant Circle”.

[haircutter]

lol

none...and I say that honestly as a old time hairdresser, who stode behind a chair for 42 years and made many a ‘blond’. (don't laugh, but I even made my daughter a ‘blond’ when she was in 4th grade, and her teacher said ‘I wondered when that was going to happen’)

Women screw with their hair incessantly

they change color to change appearance and hide from their sins

[jobim]

I almost didn't cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It was gettin' kinds' long
I could-a said, it was in a fashionable way
But I did, and I wonder why
I feel like letting my feminazi flag fly
And I feel like I owe it to Planned Parenthood


Apologies to David Crosby

[Bellflower]

Shows you how emotionally driven this crowd is. Not much substance with this bunch.
