I will miss you Lorraine
Love Patti

August 19, 2019

I have known Lorraine for at least 25years, I was her hairstylist. She was the sweetest lady. Like clock work she would be in every 3 months for her perm, and every 6 weeks for a hair cut. She loved her curly perm! Just recently she came into the salon and said well I'm just gonna get a hair cut. She wasn't to thrilled because she wasn't sure how she would look. I told her she would look great, so I cut it for her and then said, how about if I style it for you so you can get the full effect of your new haircut. She said ok, when I got done and showed her in the mirror she loved it! She was so cute she said oh I didn't know I could look so good! Told Patti hey what do you think? Patti said Mom you look wonderful! I told her she looked beautiful and now needs to go out some where, she agreed! I will miss Lorraine very much. To all of her family you have my Deepest Sympathy. Love Patti, The Hair Team
