SHADES – the eco-friendly hair and nail salon where Green Drinks is meeting — is wonderful. I discovered them while walking in the neighborhood; wrote about them for idealbite.com. It’s the one and only hair place I will ever go to! No stinky smell when you walk in. Talented stylists. Susan Henry has created great product.
