I'm among those casting about for someone to trust... After one memorable 'light' perm, a friend called me to come down the hill for coffee with him. I said that I couldn't, I had had a perm. Well, he said, bring your Shirley Temple curls with you. I said, Forget Shirley Temple- think Richard Simmons.

Among all these 'Catters, there must be several hairdressers. Does anyone have some words of comfort and guidance?
