Customer Reviews

wonderful book for a hair salon.

We gave a copy of this book to the women who cut my daughters hair for locks of love. She loved it and keeps in her salon. The story is about a girl who wants to find something special about her self, something she can do that is unique, not just have beautiful hair. Then she sees a sign in a window and gets the idea to donate her hair. It is a wonderful story and shows the girl sitting in the chair getting her hair cut.

Fun story of how a little creativity turns a natural asset into a talent.

Everyone seems to love Melissa's long, thick shiny hair: it's her best attribute. But Melissa wants to be known for more than her hair: she wants to be known for real talent. Problem is, she can't seem to come up with anything original or notable. Suzanne Bloom illustrates the fun story of how a little creativity turns a natural asset into a talent.
