"Beachy waves that will last as long as a straight blow dry, please."
"I'm thinking Prada Spring Summer 07."
"Do whatever: I need it to last a week."
"Can I get some flicks on the ends, going outways, but not like a newsreader, I HATE that helmet look, and the last girl that blow-dried my hair did it and I swear, I washed it the SECOND I got home and I just think, if you're paying for a blow dry then you..."
"Um, just, you know, blow-dried, I guess."
... Oh, what fun it must be to be the hair stylist at this time.
