It’s finally here!!!! See you in Augusta, Maine on Monday !!!!
Headed toward IndiAnapolis…on my way to Maine to start the 50 StAtes tour Monday!
Stuck in Boston…grrr
Finally here in Augusta, Maine. Took two days and a few challenges. Two things I did realize about the drive through the northeast is they love toll booths and McDonald’s!!! They are at every section and exit!!! Crazzzzzzzy….but they are some very nice people other than the random person in NewYORK took my wallet. He’s probably at McDonald’s.
I’m in Augusta, Maine . Ready to start the 50 States Tour tomorrow. Goodnight everyone.
In Burlington, VT. State #2 . Ready to do this.
Two down and 48 to go! Yay!
Currently in Concord, NH. Doing great things here at Concord Headlines Salon!!
Follow me on Twitter and Facebook!!
Very pleased to announce that I will be raising money for a wonderful Horse Rescue in Hartford !!!
Finished here in Concord, New Hampshire. Another great day with wonderful hosts at Concord Headlines. Now off to Boston, Mass.
Headed to Boston…anybody know anybody there?
Currently in Bristol, Rhode Island. Very pretty place. The island state. Ocean right at your fingertips.
Will start cutting at 7am eastern time. We have 67 appointments set. Going to be an amazing day!!
Bristol, Rhode Island was an amazing trip. Wonderful hospitality !!! I cut hair for 13 1/2 hours and did 57 cuts. We raised at least 1500 dollars but unofficially counted. They were so generous to me and gave me a very touching parting gift and dinner to celebrate. i will definitely be back in Bristol!!!
Arrived in Hartford, CT today to do it for day 6 and am disappointed that they only had 20 appointments for me. This Tour only works if the shelters and/or Humane Societies tell the world about whats happening!!! It’s not the salons responsibility and I don’t know the market. I am coming there to perform an act of kindness representing what YOU the shelter/humane society does on a daily basis.!!! I perform a FREE hair cut for donations to YOUR shelter/humane society!!!! Get off your butt and advertise!!!!!
Don’t get down remember what you accomplished in Boston………………………..every dollar helps an animal somewhere………………………….YOU’RE DOING GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We miss you and love you Tayler and we will be thinking of you at every state throughout the 50 States Tour.
