Who doesn't love getting there hair done?  It's pretty much the most anticipated day of my week every time it is on the calendar.  Why is this day so beloved by so many women?  I'll tell you. 

1.  Obviously-- you're hair is going to look amazeballs!  If you're hair girl is as cool as mine, she knows all the latest trends, what's hot, what's not.  She won't let you do anything too drastic (like going from red hair to bleach blonde despite your desperation which would definitely not work out the way you want it to.) 

2. New hair products-- If you haven't heard of Fudge, I'm not going to tell you about it because it's already impossible to get.  But these products do wonders to any type of hair.  Tell me you can't get your hair to do something, and I'll tell you a Fudge product that can make its happen.-- I mean its terrible. Never buy it. 

3.  The best part: You get to gossip & talk shit about anyone and everyone and your hair dresser is sworn into a secret stylist code which prevents her from spilling the beans. Don't look at me like that, you know everyone does it.  Even you people who don't have a USUAL hair girl, you probably aren't talking about the weather.  But seriously, get one.  Your hair stylist should be more consistent than your doctor.  You see them every 6-8 weeks and they are responsible for your success in life (ok maybe that's a stretch). 

Even boys need a hair guy/ girl. Some of my guy friends decided to mimic a hair girl with a hair guy.  Enter when the original Beetle Boys met Moi.  Beetle boys = 3 of my friends who were roommates & Moi = the hair dress that worked at the salon below their place.  They won't admit it, but they were very jealous that all of us girls had such fabulous hair and this allusive, yet infamous Hair Jen who was responsible for it.  That's when they found Moi.  Even three boys found the hairapy sessions with Moi to be satisfying.  They excitedly exchanged Moi stories frequently and fought over which one Moi had a bigger crush on.  (So hairapy love is not just for girls.)  I think things went a little south between the Beetle Boys and Moi because there was too much sexual tension & jealousy amongst them all.  

Anyway...

4.  An added bonus reason why hair stylists are the best: They know all the latest and greatest of things other than hair since they talk to so many people everyday.  I usually get a good new book recommendation or activity/adventure to try out.  But one of the best non-hair related "try-this" I got from Hair Jen was this recipe:

Shredded Chicken Tacos in the Crock Pot:
Difficulty: EASY
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: Whatever you set your crock pot to

Ingredients: 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
                          Taco Seasoning
                          2 cans of diced tomatoes with green chiles
                         Taco condiments (shells optional)

1. Spray the crock pot with Pam or Olive Oil Spray
2. Rinse the chicken breasts and put them in crock pot
3. Pour the taco seasoning over the chicken so it covers the chicken breasts
4. Add the 2 cans of tomatoes-- (I usually drain one of them so they aren't two watery)
5. Turn on for the amount of time you'd like on your crock pot.
6. Before serving, shred the chicken with a fork (it will fall apart).
7. Serve as a taco and add your condiments. 

(I prefer mine as a taco salad and eat it with lettuce, lots of white onion & extra taco seasoning.  It doesn't need all the extra calories.  )

Tell me you don't love it, I dare you.  (Sorry I'm not quite so savvy with the picture taking for the blog purpose yet.. but next time I'll make it, I'll show you this mouthwatering dish.  Or you could just make it yourself.)

Bottom line, if you don't have a hair girl (guy), get one.
