Down at Lulu's: Pink and Punk

 I got my yearly haircut/color last week. I know I'm constantly yapping about the power of home haircuts, but I like to get the real deal once or twice a year so I have good lines to follow, and also because it is such a nice, nice treat.


My official favorite salon is Down at Lulu's, right on the Berkeley/Oakland border.  Tina is a big, beautiful broad who is basically the coolest person in the world. She knows everything about bubblegum/garage/punk music and has glorious collections of vintage whatnots, but doesn't make you feel like you're any less cool for being a little bit square.

Tina and Seth, co-owners of the salon.


The pink exterior jazzes up an otherwise boring block of Telegraph.



Derek showed me this video when I visited Portland last summer; I was like, "Hey! Those people cut my hair!" I had no idea about the adorable band Hunx and His Punx.


Oh, and here's my hair!
