?I really feel like they treat me royally,? said Powell, 77, a regular client since the 1980s. ?I can come in feeling really down and just the atmosphere really lifts my spirits. The girls are so pleasant here.?
Though Powell had to give up a few things when her husband died to stay within her means financially, she and her sons decided that Thursday?s hair and nails extravaganza wasn?t one of them, especially at the student-apprentice cut rate.
?They said, ?Don?t cut out your Thursday pampering ? you deserve that,? Powell said. ?I said I?ll cut out other things before I cut that out.?
Powell?s curler set, a basic skill aspiring hairstylists must master, will last a week. ?If it doesn?t hold, I know it?s time to get a permanent,? she said.
