Before I'm bombarded with emails, here is the answer many of you have been looking for: the new locations of the best kid-friendly hairstylists around.

Stacey Leon is now with Great Clips in Oakleaf, tel: 317-4557

Lisa Anthony is now with Sharp Cuts on Chaffee Road, tel: 783-4105

 

We hope you're enjoying the beginning of fall festivals, finding the perfect costume for the kids, maybe even a little early holiday shopping.  Take time to enjoy the slightly cooler (and rainier) days.  If you have a great "I'm thankful for..." story that you'd like to share for next month's Clay4Kids.com newsletter, please email us.
