My Mom Needs Her Hair Stylist

This made me laugh. My mom gets a mention in this TIMES & TRANSCRIPT article on hair stylists.

“High-profile women like MP Claudette Bradshaw, MLA and Tourism Minister Joan MacAlpine, former Lieutenant Governor Marilyn Trenholme-Counsell, Assumption Life executive Odette Snow, Atlantic Lottery’s president Michelle Carinci, and Royal LePage owner Carla Bouchard, just to name a few, all go to men to get their hair done.”
