Weird question/favor. In early 60's did you know of an LA salon "Head Hunters." Did a big (easy) favor for the owner and she invited me for a tour (insisted). Had to leave town so I never made it. Did I miss something that I got a hint of?

I knew Head Hunters Salon. I don’t know what you missed tho… crazy days , one can only guess. At their height of popularity, I was in high school………. :) Hope you read my memoir Upper Cut.

Celebrating 29 yrs clean and sober on Cinco de Mayo…not like i knew what day it was in 1984 Cuartro de Mayo~!! Ha, and that’s a long time in between Margarita’s….not to mention crack and smack. Today I feel like the strongest ‘Vhooman in the Village.’

Michael Crichton came to my salon in 1972. Years later, Michael told me the title of his latest book ‘Jurassic Park’ when I was cutting his hair…I asked him, “Is that in London?” He was always fun, kind and mostly patient with me til his end. #Born Yesterday. I miss his everyday.

Hi Carrie, WOW what a book! And what a life! I finished your memoir in three sittings. You not
only survived….you thrived, and lived to tell the story. You look so young and fabulous that
it’s hard to believe you lived through this horrific journey. With your unflinching honesty
your turned this nightmare into a riveting cautionary tale.
With much affection, Lorna
