The arrangement that was delivered on the 21st was absolutely gorgeous, and my mom loved it."BUT", I had originally ordered in arrangement on the 18th and for some reason it never went through, so when I called my mom on the 18th to see how she likes her flowers, I was very embarrassed when she didn't receive them. Don't know what happened I understand that glitches happen but was very disappointed.

Ordered daffodils and got yellow tulips instead. When I called, they said daffodils were out of season, but they should have called before delivering. What a waste of $50; the yellow tulips didn't even look nice, and only lasted a couple of days.

We are truly sorry our substitute did not meet your expectations. Our website always states availability may be limited or substitutions may be necessary. Typically this is never a problem. We did give you a full refund on this order. So if they only lasted a couple of days, we must have let you keep the arrangement? I apologize about the whole thing and forgive me if I don't remember the exact details. Have a nice day.

I understand from the flower recipients that they were lovely. My only complaint was that the email stating they had been delivered came a week late, thus making me think I had ordered them for delivery later than I really had...was just very odd.

sorry about that, we got really bad after Christmas marking our deliveries delivered. We had short staff and all were tired from the holiday, not that that is any excuse, but we do put a lot of effort into everything we do, but I guess not that as much. Again we apologize for making you feel that way, the fact that you pointed it out that way makes me want to make sure we are more diligent in that area. thank you for your feedback.

Flowers delivered on time, same day. Unfortunately however, they were in poor condition and seemed already quite wilted. For $90 I expected something a bit more fresh. After only two days, the arrangement had to be thrown out.

I don't understand why they didn't last, our flowers are usually of very high quality and customers always comment and rave about how long our flowers last and last. Let me know if there is anything I can do to make this up, we hate to see a dissatisfied customer!! thank you

We always shop at Della's Maple Lane Florist for our elderly aunt. We are from North Dakota and 4 years ago were in the area visiting our aunt over the Mothers Day weekend. We stopped on Sunday and the staff put together a beautiful arrangement for us to hand deliver. The next Easter I made a special request for soft candies and the gal taking my out of state order made a special offer to take candies she was going to use in her own children's baskets and sent them out with our flower order!

My wife was really pleased with the arrangement of the Jade Green roses she recieved. One of the reasons I picked this arrangement was because it was different from the "usual". The flowers were fresh and lasted quite a while as a whole. I still have four of the roses sitting in a smaller vase and they are now 14 days since delivery :) Thanks for a rewarding experience! I would certainly use Della's Maple Lane Florist again.

The arrangement was nice, however, the flowers didnt last very long. Also, I paid the extra $10 for the higher option bouquet, however, it was the same as the lower. I have been a customer for several years, and this is the first experience of this sort. I am usually very satisfied with my choice to go with Della's. (We contacted Shant and we are delivering a new bouquet for him, when he requests it. He is still a happy customer and pleased with our follow up on his complaint. It was very busy for Valentines Day, and this is our only complaint and we handled it well.)

Ordered flowers online and they were not delivered on Feb. 14th. Called the florist and complained and they ended up delivering a full dozen, beautiful pink roses to my wife the following day for the same price. I would give them a five except for this slip up. Will continue to use them as my florist though.

Good Morning - I would like to let you know how happy I was with the 2 arrangements that were done. They were both funeral arrangements that went to William Sullivan Funeral Home in Royal Oak for Marjorie Tamm. The bud vase for Grandma was perfect. I loved the fresh flower vase arrangement for mom. The flowers were fresh and and exceeded my expectations. I know when I get flowers from your shop they will be something either I or the recipient will be able to enjoy for quite some time. Thank you so much for doing such a great job. I will continue to recommend you for any flower arrangements. You can be very proud of the staff who are always very friendly, courteous and willing to work with you and the workmanship that is done in all the arrangements. Thank you again. Debbie Tamm

I just want to thank you for your good neighbor roses. I kept one for myself and delivered the other 11. I can tell you because of you, I delivered happiness to several good neighbors. The last two roses were delivered late that evening when I returned to my home in Saginaw, Michigan. One good neighbor laughingly said, "Forget the rose, just bring me a bachelor!" What a wonderful idea you have with the roses. They were beautiful. Mine is still gorgeous. Thanks, again. --Diane

I LOVE that the delivery person called me on my cell, from my front porch. I was not home, and I asked him to deliver to my church, about 1 mile north on Livernois. He said he would do it!!! I was waiting at church for him, and he delivered there!!! I was shocked and surprised not only about receiving a beautiful fall arrangement, but also that he was able to go the extra mile, and deliver to another location. Thank you so much for your care and special touch!! AND the flowers are absolutely gorgeous, and will continue to last throughout this week and next, I'm sure!!

I just wanted to take a minute and tell you about the wonderful service I received from Michelle 8/2/11. I wasn't sure what type of flower arrangement I wanted, but mentioned colors to her. She spent alot of time with me to make what I thought was the perfect arrangement for my friend! We talked about how she wasn't "officially" a flower designer (don't know the correct lingo for this title) And I couldnt' believe she wasn't. She was very professional, and talented. I think she deserves an upgrade in title! Not only was I delighted, but so was my friend!

Sea of Idiocy
Sep 1st
Okay people. I try to keep it pretty positive here, but I truly want to know: what do you do when you feel like you've lost faith in humanity as a whole?
I'm incredibly lucky in that my personal world or "Bubble" is filled with wonderful, amazing, beautiful people, but I can't help but feel like my personal sampling is greatly skewed when event after event after event seems to definitively tell me that those amazing people are vastly outnumbered by vast sea of idiocy, or Idiosea, whose tides cannot be stemmed, sandbagged, leveed or otherwise contained. I'm seriously ready to be abducted by aliens.
Impostor Syndrome
Aug 19th
I know that "impostor syndrome" is something that most people feel, no matter how successful, loved, etc. I definitely feel it, but interestingly I realized today that I feel it much more acutely as a musician than as an actor. I'm generally pretty comfortable and confident when doing acting or voiceover work (not that I don't have my moments of insecurity), but with music, it's different. Especially when dealing with other musicians I respect or admire. I get super nervous and in my head. I wondered what the difference was and I have a theory. I think it's because acting is far less "quantifiable." It's far more amorphous and subjective and hard to measure.
Though music has those qualities as well to some degree, there is a technical aspect to it that can be measured and quantified. How well you play technically and how much knowledge you have. Can you play any scale known to man at inhuman speeds? Not that this is by any means the end all, be all, but just one example of something quantifiable. Did they hear you mess up that note in that solo? I know that it's ridiculous. I've been a musician for over 30 years. It's one of the ways I actually make a living. The quantity and breadth of my experience is dense and deep. And yet I so often feel like some kind of "amateur" when dealing with other people. Or more accurately, I believe that is what they will think of me. It lines up with one of my core insecurities which is that I don't have low self esteem at all. I am quite proud and confident of who I am and the gifts I possess, and yet for some reason I always think that no one but me recognizes that. I never assume my own self image will extend to others' image of me.
We humans are strange. I'm not sure of the point of this post other to let all you fake impostors out there know that you are not alone. Even Paul McCartney admitted to feeling this way until fairly recently. Many of the people you idolize have the exact same feeling, though to us that would seem ridiculous. Just know that the only impostor is the lying voice that tells you you are going to be found out as an impostor.
Heath Vs. The Intradimensional Ninja Roach
Jun 28th
I feel something tickle my foot while I'm at my computer desk. I look down and it's one of those giant "water bugs" that most people call "Cockroaches." It runs further under my desk up against the wall.
I rush into the kitchen to find something to spray it with. All I can find is 409 All surface cleaner, but I figure that should do the trick. I come back and of course it's no longer where it was. Crap. It could be anywhere. As luck would have it I quickly spot it near my desk. I start spraying it with 409. It runs under my desk again. I spray it all the way. It's back against the wall and now amongst my tangle of carious cables back there. I grab a Whataburger drink lid to try and get it out to dispose of it. I swipe at it once…it gets jarred a bit but is still amongst the wires. I swipe at it again and it gets knocked…where? I don't see it! Anywhere. I get a head lamp and my phone and start taking pictures and videos to try and locate it. It must have gone up under the portion of my desk where my computer sits which is only open from the back.
Shining the light I take a few photos and then several videos. It's nowhere to be found. I search the wires. All around and under the desk. Nothing. Several times I give up because I've looked everywhere. But then I think "It can't just disappear!" and search again. Nothing. Under the desk is totally clear. It's like it just disappeared into thin air. I repeat this disbelief and thorough search several more times. Utterly baffled. There's nowhere it could be. I put the 409 back in the kitchen. Sit down at my desk.
There's a tickle on the other foot. The motherfucker is still alive and back from the intradimensional portal whence it vanished. Thinking quickly, I grab the empty Whataburger cup and place it in front of him. He seems at least slightly sluggish due to the 409 dousing earlier or possibly from traveling between dimensions or using whatever spells, powers or magical items that allowed it invisibility or planar travel.
It crawls in. I put the lid on. I take it to the bathroom where I flush this double-foot-violating fiend down the toilet. I am the ultimate victor. Were this another time and place, bards would write odes about me.
For the rest of the night, I imagine phantom paranoid tickles on my feet.
Let's Have A Real, Raw Talk About Suicide
May 19th
Posted by Heath in Life As I Know It
The subject says it all. This post will contain real, raw, vulnerable talk about depression and suicide. You have been warned.
In the wake of Chris Cornell's death being ruled a suicide, there has been a lot of talk about the subject. This great article talks about "When Suicide Doesn't Make Sense" and really got me thinking. I realized that the Chris Cornell situation resonates with me more than usual. Because I too have felt that darkness and I believe that I too fall into that category of people where others would be horrifically surprised if I ever committed suicide. I don't think anyone would say or think "Well, it's sad, but not surprising. He was someone who seemed to have a lot of demons to battle," or anything.
Now just to head off any alarm bells or concerns, I am fine and I honestly don't think I could or would ever kill myself. But that doesn't mean I haven't thought about it. That doesn't mean I haven't laid in bed at night and just wished for a quiet death in my sleep and to not wake up to another day. I have felt that darkness. The darkness that is a lie but seems so real. I have called a suicide prevention line. I have composed suicide notes in my head and once even wrote one out, not because I actually had intentions, but just to see if actually writing it helped as an exercise, or an emotional purge like many say journaling can be. I have contemplated the ways in which I would do it if I ever did. The most painless. Ways in which I would just disappear and never be found and no one would know what ever happened to me. I have fantasized about running away and starting a new life under a new identity and "Heath Allyn" just becoming a mysterious unsolved disappearance (though when followed through, this idea is laughable to me as I could never do that either).
When Owen Wilson attempted suicide, many had the same reaction as to Chris Cornell: wonder and disbelief. "But he's rich and famous and has a great life!" At that time, I was lucky enough to also not understand. I didn't condemn him or judge him at all, I just didn't understand what could have possibly driven him to that. Then I distinctly remember a day not too terribly long ago when I came to the realization that I now understood. I didn't want to. I longed for that time when it was a completely alien concept to me, but now the understanding was there.
I think a key point that people don't seem to understand is that when people are driven to suicide, it is usually because the person legitimately feels like everyone and the world in general would be better off without them. It is a delusion but it is not out of selfishness or weakness or whatever other stigmas exacerbate mental illness and its ramifications. In fact, this is one of the key details that tells me I am not in danger of becoming another victim of mental illness. The fact that even in my darkest hours, I could never kill myself because I know how much it would devastate those who love me. There have been times I felt trapped by that, in fact. I didn't want to be here any more but I "couldn't do that to other people."
I am generally a truly, genuinely positive person who strives to be a shining light in the world. I constantly work on myself and have come a long way. It's not a front or a happy face I put forward to the world, it is truth. Few see, experience, know or hear about the darkness I've experienced and that's why I think my suicide would fall into that category of shocking and unexpected. I don't write this for sympathy, pity or because I need help or anything. I write this for everyone out there fighting their own demons and battles to let you know you are not alone. Every single person you see is probably fighting some degree of unknown, unseen darkness. People that you would never expect have anything in common with you. It's a tragedy that help is so hard to get in this country and usually the hardest for those who need it most. I love therapy, but I can't afford it (Update: I can now thanks to the amazing organization, Health Alliance for Austin Musicians). That's probably a pretty common situation. But keep fighting. Keep searching. There are many avenues. Talk to friends. Call a hotline. Try yoga. Read Eckhart Tolle. See a psychic. Read a book. Listen to music (that battles the demons, not that feeds them). Watch movies (again, seek out material that helps support you, not that helps you spiral).
One thing I find so interesting about the human psyche and depression specifically, is that it is self reinforcing. It makes you avoid all the things that would help (out of protection for itself, I suppose) and seek out that which feeds it and strengthens it. I don't care who you are, the world is not better without you. It needs you. If we can each bring even a tiny, dim light, together we can be a supernova. We can defeat the darkness, though it will try its hardest to convince you otherwise.
RIP Chris Cornell
May 18th
I first heard of Chris Cornell somewhere around 1990 when Ben Kent, the drummer for N The Rutz, the band I was in, was a HUGE Soundgarden fan. I have since and always will associate Soundgarden with Ben, who is still one of the best drummers I've ever played with. I understand the darkness and how life can just seem too hard to continue at times. I'm sorry the darkness won this battle with Chris.
Here's my tribute to Chris Cornell. This was my favorite song of his, "Can't Change Me." I hope he will excuse the sloppiness as I just learned it today and this was the 2nd time I ever played and sang it but it's about the tribute and not perfectionism (which is hard for me to let go of, even though I know that way lies madness).

Dream Theatre 36
Apr 24th
Posted by Heath in Dream Theatre
I dreamt that my friend, Mical, got me an invite to a special VIP house party. Turns out Madonna was playing the party and everyone was super excited except for me since I'm not really a huge Madonna fan. She started the show outside and seemed disappointed at the small crowd but then she got inside the packed two story house and was visibly surprised by the huge crowd there. I was at an upstairs railing looking down into the living room where she was performing.
Later, after the concert was over, they were playing music over the sound system and I heard a little bit of my song "Infinitesimal" begin to play. This wasn't super surprising since I knew I had submitted all my music to possibly be part of the mix, but then somehow it wasn't my actual song, but some random radio promo I'd recorded using that song and so everyone was very puzzled by this weird promo, like me doing a DJ break on a radio station talking about upcoming events and such. I was also puzzled as to how this mix up had occurred and how the hell this random recording got in there.
Creatures of the Night…
Apr 17th
I've always skewed toward a vampiric schedule when left to my own devices. I find it interesting though in that it's very dichotomous and sometimes I feel ambivalent about the late hours.
On the one hand, part of me feels alive and like there's so much potential. Most of the world is asleep and it's almost as if time is frozen in a way. A time to dream, whether you are awake or asleep. There's not much actual "action" you can take, especially anything involving regular businesses or most people, but you can hope and dream and maybe work on some projects yourself.
But on the other hand, I feel tired and unproductive. Like a child I don't want to go to sleep, yet part of me does. All potential is frozen in amber. It can feel lonely and foreboding. Sometimes even hostile or threatening. For the most part nothing can be done until tomorrow. No answers or progress will come.
It can feel like so many things all at once. A paradox. Yin-Yang. Will tonight be a friend? An enemy? A lover? An obstacle? Some mix of many elements? It was made for dreamers like me. Not all dreams are good. And without actions, dreams remain ephemeral, ethereal and amorphous. Like grasping at mist.

In this dream, Robin Wright and I were in love but she was married to Mark Knopfler, guitarist for Dire Straits. The tone of the dream was strange as if maybe it was a movie. In this love triangle, Mark was not a good spouse. He was mean and grumpy. The three of us were there finally confronting the situation. Mark pulled a gun on me and then Robin pulled a gun as well, with the intention of using it on either of us if we tried to kill the other. I wrestled Mark's gun from him and as a show of good faith to Robin, I set the gun down by her. Mark then left grumpily and Robin and I decided to run away together. Then we had hot sex on a table. I win!
It was later brought to my attention that there's a strange connection here as Robin, of course, played Buttercup in The Princess Bride and Mark composed the score for it!
Artificial Intelligence Christmas Carol
Dec 17th
Posted by Heath in Actor/Musician
There are many articles such as this one and this one about The University of Toronto using something called "Neural Karaoke" to feed a computer images and then have the computer compose a song from that image. One of the results is this AI composed Christmas Carol.
I immediately knew I had to do a rendition of this wonderful song that some find incredibly creepy. So first I made some simple notation which you can download here to hand out if you want to play and sing this new perennial favorite.
Then I recorded a fully orchestrated version of the song, which can be heard here.
Happy holidays and may they be filled with lots and lots and lots of flowers.
Accolades Are The Dessert, No The Sustenance
Sep 20th
Posted by Heath in Actor/Musician
I've received many congratulations on my B. Iden Payne nomination, which is absolutely wonderful and I am very grateful and honored. But I've also seen a lot of people bummed out by not being included.
I have a very complicated relationship with awards and such for this reason. For every person that wins (or is even nominated), there are countless great, talented people who are not. So a handful of us feel really great, and a whole lot of others feel not so great. Some people don't care. Some take it in stride. Some are bitter. There's a whole range.
Look, I am thrilled and honored to be recognized for what I feel may have been one of my best stage performances of my 34 year acting career, but PLEASE know that these things are the icing. The dessert. They cannot be the sustenance which you need to feel nourished and validated, They are based on opinions. You just have no way of knowing what went into these thought processes.
We are human. We have egos. Most performers are particularly sensitive and want to be loved and validated and accepted. It's a strange field in that artists are generally vulnerable and sensitive and yet have to work in a business of rejection and often feeling overlooked or unappreciated.
As long as there have been awards there have been feelings of bias, popularity, scheming, machinations, shenanigans and chicanery, or schemachinaniganery, to quote myself from the La Fenice show, "The Sparrow of Roma." But in the end only a drop in the ocean of artists get recognized.
If it happens to you, enjoy it! I'm not saying shun it and say "down with The Man and the system!" Enjoy your accolades! But don't let it or the lack of it define you. It doesn't. I guarantee you there are brilliant, talented geniuses completely unknown and unrecognized. Yet. It's a long game. A game of persistence. And most importantly, it's about the work. Again, we are human so don't ignore any feelings of disappointment. Acknowledge them but keep your head down and do good work. Enjoy any fruits than come your way but don't get lost in the chase and addiction to them. That way lies eternal bitterness and unhappiness.
Also we are a community. As hard as it can be, learn to genuinely celebrate your peers and colleagues. Share in their happiness. Let your work and the experience of doing what you love be the meal, sustenance and nourishment. And when there is dessert, savor it and enjoy the hell out of it. But know that it is fleeting and ego fattening so it should only be a treat.
We are all in this together. Keep creating. Do good work for the sake of the work. And believe me I know how hard it is. Again, for perspective, I've been acting for 34 years and only have had a handful of "desserts." And I don't think that's because I'm not good at what I do. So I'm going to enjoy this dessert, and get back to doing the best work I can do in everything I do. And I hope to work with you.

Serving the voices – origin
Serving the voices.
I can remember where I was when God gave me the tagline for the RYFO ministry idea. Before kids, my wife Emily and I were renting a small cottage at the time within walking distance of the beach in southern California. I remember that I was pacing between the living room and eating area, talking to myself and working through the ministry philosophy with the Lord. And BAM, it hit me……Serving the voices.
I didn't realize at the time how fundamental the word "serving" would be to our ministry approach. In fact, I think I stuck on that word initially because I thought it would be the least offensive to the touring musicians I had hoped to help. Breaking in to the touring musician world to offer them something they didn't necessarily know they needed brought many challenges, and still does. I wanted to avoid words that would sound intrusive, entitled, demanding, etc. God gave us "serving". I wish I could say that I had had more biblical backing for the choice of words at the time, but God has since shown me how fundamental loving others through service is, and how present it is in scripture.
It was the word "voices" that I had thought quite a bit about. Early on, one of the first people I had reached out to with the initial RYFO idea was a musician named Dave Tosti, from the band PAX217. I had admired him and the band early on in their career, and being that they were a local band in my area (S. Calif.), I got to see them play quite a bit. It was one of Dave's songs that had stuck in my head. The lyrics went something like "we are the voices of a generation…". He was hoping to inspire his listeners to think and act as if they had influence in their lives and circles. But what I heard from those lyrics was how influential Dave was as an inspirational voice on me. He inspired me, to want to serve him, and other influential voices like him. I now get to call Dave a friend, and he has since spent time serving on the RYFO board.
I think most of us get the concept that musicians on stage have significant influence on generations of music listeners. So I won't hammer on that. We've touted the "serving the voices" tagline loud and proud, in an effort to simply explain our desire to serve the influencer. But in God's infinite sovereignty and wisdom, I believe he had an additional motive in sticking us with "serving the voices".
I tend to sign all of my emails and letters with the "serving the voices" tagline, sort of in an effort to remind us all of what we are doing, and I guess to keep the RYFO flag flying. But something has changed in me recently that I wanted to share with you all. The tagline has found a now deeper meaning for me personally, and I hope corporately as a team. Now when I write "serving the voices", it's a pledge to serve you, the Church, in your commitment to serve and share the Gospel of Jesus with the musician community. You are the voices that are needed to change an industry. And I want to serve you in that. I believe that the Church is the answer.
Each of us are unique members of the Body, and bring beautifully different things to the collective Gospel effort. I love how diverse we are. And I feel so privileged to be walking this mission out with you. Thank you for allowing us the grace to grow and develop as God continues to refine RYFO's focus. And as a staff, we hope to better understand how to serve you in the days to come. If you have suggestions or insights on how we can better serve and equip you, please let us know!

According to wired.com, Disney/Pixar has released the first official preview clip from Sanjay's Super Team, Patel's directorial debut. The clip is from the beginning of the short and "highlights the contrast between two forms of ritual: young Sanjay's worship of a Saturday morning cartoon superhero team, and his father's Hindu prayers", wired.com said.
Watch the short clip from Sanjay's Super Team on YouTube here:
Pixar recently screened the entire short for the press and wired.com vouches that the clip "doesn't even scratch the surface of the meticulous detail or wild imagination packed into the film's seven minutes." Sanjay's Super Team is the first Pixar short directed by an Indian-American. It is also the 'most personal and autobiographical project put into theaters by the studio', wired.com emphasised.
Watch an interview aired on PBS with Sanjay Patel which was put out by cartoonbrew.com here.
Apart from his work at Pixar, Sanjay Patel has created children's books featuring detailed, colourful and fascinating illustrations about Hindu mythology and culture, particularly the Ramayana. John Lasseter, producer and Chief Creative Officer of Pixar, and producer Nicole Paradis Grindle insisted that it was time for Patel to take his work to the next level and Patel committed to directing the Sanjay's Super Team, reports collider.com.
It took Patel three years of work to complete the filmmaking process, design the characters, and get the musical score done with composer Mychael Danna.

In 2014, the United Nations General Assembly established December 5th as World Soil Day and declared 2015 the International Year of Soils. This action by the UN is meant to draw attention to the important role soils play in all of our lives.
For many of us in Philadelphia County, it is easy to forget about where our food comes from, trucked in from farms around the region, brought in by train from across the country, and flown in from exotic countries around the world. This food is grown somewhere, and the health of the soil is closely tied to the health of our food--both the quality and quantity.

Local 810 along with District Council 47 have expressed concerns regarding the building conditions in 1401 Arch St., particularly the 14th floor where there has been water damage along with crumbling/peeling wall surfaces. First Judicial District Human Resources has requested that testing be conducted as soon as possible, on the substances that are exposed on the walls of the 14th floor. That's being done to ensure the safety of our members. As of June 30, 2014, building management has agreed to bring in a 3rd party to conduct this testing. Once they have identified this party, we will work on scheduling the testing at a time that is convenient to all parties (City, FJD, Union).
If you are ever injured or exposed to anything unhealthy or hazardous during the course of your duties, whether it be in the field or in the office, you must contact your immediate supervisor and complete the COPA form. Once the form is completed, you will be referred to a City Comp Clinic for examination. In the event of an emergency, you will be transported to a hospital. Recently, several of our members have been exposed to mold, bug bites, and minor accidents. So, it is important that the necessary steps are followed so our members are properly accommodated.

More exciting news from the Travel Light team! We have just cemented a partnership with the wonderful folks of the Reynolda Film Festival. This is different from our other business sponsors thus far - as a part of our Reynolda Partnership, crew members of Travel Light. will be giving a presentation on the film followed by a Q & A on Thursday, April 4th, from 6 to 7pm. The presentation will be followed by by a meet and greet.
When complete, we'll be bringing the film-in-progress to the Reynolda Film Festival, workshopping scenes and talking about the production from the other side.
This is incredibly exciting for us as an opportunity to help give back to the film community in Winston-Salem, and opening new conversations about our film and filmmaking in general. Reynolda has been more than generous in their offer to partner with us, and we're thrilled to see where this partnership goes as production moves along. They will be one of the first venues we present a cut of the final film, and we're honored to have that opportunity.
We'll keep you all posted on when these events start happening. In the meantime, check out the
this year and let them know you appreciate their support of independent film!

Nappy or Not (Oakland, CA)
Archived Q&A and Reviews
May 2008
Re: Good hairdresser for natural black hair
I suggest you try a salon called ''Nappy or Not'' in Oakland near Lake Merrit. It's at 411 E. 18th St. and the phone number is 510/835-7838; you should ask for the proprietor -- Rhonda Glenn -- to do your hair. I have been going to Nappy or Not for about 6 years now. I don't wear my hair natural -- I have a light relaxer and get it flat ironed -- but many (perhaps most) folks who go to ''Nappy or Not'' have natural hair (thus the name). I'm confident that Rhonda will do a great job for you. That being said, please be prepared to wait about a half-hour for your appointment -- things do get backed up as with many ethnic salons where various processes and styles can take longer than expected.
On another note, I'm so sorry for your somewhat bad experience at a salon that didn't do your/our type of hair; you really do have to stick to ethnic salons (black, latina, Middle East) when it comes to getting good results because they really seem to be the only folks who recognize and can work with the huge variety of textures in ''black'' hair -- from almost bone straight to waves, spiral curls, bushy curls, curly 'fros, etc. Moreover, many non-ethnic salons *think* they can work with ''black'' hair -- and are anxious to capitalize on the money to be made in this area -- but have no idea what they are doing: You could leave one of these places with seriously damaged hair; let them try and hone their skills on someone else's head. Good luck. nette

Re: Teen wants dred locks
Several newsletters ago, a request was made for a hair stylist who starts/maintains locs (dred locs). Cristina J. at Nappy or Not (Oakland) has been divine. She loves working with natural hair of different textures. Give her a call at 510-835-7838. Nappy or Not's address is 1206 Fruitvale Avenue, just below International. If you have specific questions, feel free to contact me. Thanks. tonda
