Need a haircut?

Chances are, more of us do these days. We're looking a bit shaggier. And those telltale roots? They're showing more.

In an earlier blog posting this week, we told you how (go figure) jobs for manicures and pedicures has actually grown during the recession. Although money may be tight, today's woman is still striving to take care of herself, trying to reduce stress and doing what makes herself feel good. After all, today's woman believes she's worth it.

"If they can squeeze out ways to do things for themselves, they're doing it," says Lila Hickok, owner of La Peinado in Superior.

But Hickok has also noticed another trend during the recession:

Clients are spacing out their appointments more for other services than they used to. They're going an extra couple of weeks or more between haircuts, even longer between color treatments. 

Hmmm, sounds familiar. How about you?
