Recessionista's hair cannot be cut by just anyone. It's fine, there's a lot of it, and it's curly. It took Recessionista a lot of time to find a good hairdresser, and Recessionista was AOK with paying $60 to keep her coif just-do. But Recessionista is even happier now that she's discovered Cool Cuts for Kids in Flower Mound.For the kiddos, the highly trained hairdressers are expert in all manner of behavior and children's hair dos. There's a play area that doubles as a waiting room, fun seats for the littler ones (taxi!), and TV monitors at every station so the tykes can choose from a wide selection of attention-holding flicks and TV shows -- Dora, Disney and Wiggles among them. There is also a wide selection of hair accessories for the little princesses (and you know who you are!). While there, Recessionista watched a couple of masterful hair cuts and was impressed by the styling skills as well as the people skills.Even better, Cool Cuts does not discriminate against adults! Recessionista sat in a normal chair, got a fantastic cut, and got the "Biggies" rate of, get this, $19.95! No, Cool Cuts doesn't provide color services or other full-service salon things, but for a great haircut at less than an Andrew Jackson.To make your own appointment, call 972-899-5200. They're located in Parker Square in Flower Mound, and Kate the manager is a genius with a pair of scissors.Got a tip for the Recessionista? Want to promote your deals here?
