You know what? I actually enjoyed this. But being both massively hirsute and encumbered with an enormous proboscis I already trim my nose hair with a scythe, so it didn't really help me any. Though I do need to find me a barber shop that serves liquor.

Conbon totally knows where one is. He told me about it, but I never got a chance to check it out.
It's Esquires, as Abe said. But they have scotch, despite what city room says.
Miss u, Thursday's Sports Bar-ber Shop, Fairfax, VA. (Hate u, pilates.)
I miss my Italian barber that served his home brew grappa and used a straight razor to cut 'gutters'.
The Xmas decorations from 1946 gave the place a homey vibe even though all old the neighborhood regulars talking about who had just died could make you sad.

It's beer though.
Also, John Allen's

I will need a LOT of liquor to go to that neighborhood voluntarily.
My hair salon serves champagne! And they do these fabulous Brazilian manicures that do NOT chip off. You're welcome!
"Brazilian manicure" scares me. (Address pls.)
I'm a convert. They basically glob the nail polish willy-nilly all over half your hand, and you're like WTF is going on, I haven't paid yet but I already want my money back.
Then they go back and remove all the excess with a lil implement covered in nail polish remover, and it seems shady because I mean, that's basically how I put on nail polish when I do it myself, you know?
But anyway somehow it makes the nail polish look incredible and this is truly the most durable mani I've ever recieved. I'm a nail fiddler/occasional biter and my nails still haven't chipped and I got this done a week ago.
Oh and then they wax your ass.
That sounds awesome. (The manicure part, not the waxing your ass part.) My salon serves wine, but the Brazilian manicure hasn't made it north yet.
Given the usual time it takes for NYC-Boston trend transfers, I'd say they'll be here around June 2011.
I never thought of nose hair before, and I never want to again. blech.
You know what's worse than realizing you need a nose hair trimmer?
Replacing the batteries in your nose hair trimmer.
