Braid bars

My creative juices have been flowing a lot lately, but I have resisted the urge to blog every time an idea has popped into my head. This is probably for the best, as it would have resulted in several posts on a single day. However, it does mean that for the time being I think I will resume my thrice a week ramblings. So I am not sure where exactly I came across the concept I am about to discuss, but I think it is ingenious, especially to someone like myself. Apparently braid bars have become quite popular across the US as mentioned here. Now that I know this I am surprised that it hasn't happened sooner. I am definitely hairstyle challenged to say the least. I have always wanted to be able to braid my hair in cute and interesting ways, but alas it is not meant to be with my fumbling hands and lack of ability. As such I would be more than happy to shell out the asking price to have someone turn my wish into a reality, which seems to be the case at the mentioned salons. Now my only hope is that I find a salon in Vancouver that offers this service sooner rather than later. If not I am going to New York next July so I might have to wait until then.
