Hair Therapy

Who needs a therapist when you can go to your hair stylist? Last night I “unloaded” on mine: Hope Belliveau, the artistic director at Premier Atelier in White Plains, and seriously left not only lighter in the hair (she cut off a few inches), but lighter in my head. Between snipping and blowdrying, we talked about everything: life, love, kids, challenges, hardships, triumphs. I left not only looking good, but feeling good.
She’s the kind of person that seriously lights up a room— mostly because—like a life coach, she listens and never judges. And most of all: she’s big into giving to charities, always doing fun hair events with proceeds going towards breast cancer and other organizations. She’s big on “paying it forward,” something I’m also into into doing (though it’s yet to come back to me, though I’m still hopeful one day it will). It’s enough to warm the cockles of your heart. And—with all the angst/pressures I’ve been feeling lately, it was nice to go somewhere neutral, sit in a chair and dish. Hope is also a working mom with teenagers and so “feels my pain.” Underneath it all, we’re all so much more alike than we think.
