Beauty Parlor Wisdom -- Who needs a therapist if they already visit the beauty salon? This delightful follow-up to Taxi Driver Wisdom gathers together weird, witty, and often hilarious quotes gleaned from actual hairdressers, manicurists, and beauticians across the country. These modern-day Freuds offer insights into aging gracefully, the differences between women and men, fulfilling your dreams, and, of course, the meaning of hair and nails. Colorful photographs punctuate each message, and a puffy red cover evokes hours of beautification in the salon chair. With its salt-of-the earth wisdom from the people who beautify us, this book will make you feel as good as you look after a great session at the salon.
