That makeover question just stopped being hypothetical

[neadods]

I'm moving between departments at work, from the techies (where you can wear anything because you never see any clients except engineers who are also in polo shirts and jeans) to where you talk to The People With The Money.

That hair/hands/feet/wardrobe makeover question just stopped being hypothetical. I am soliciting names of favored hairdressers in the Laurel/College Park/Greenbelt or Annapolis areas (tchwrtr, I've still got yours). I am soliciting names for manicurists and stories of what life is like with fake nails (because my real ones are crap and always will be - grow 'em out more than 2/8" and they tear).

While I'm soliciting stories, does anyone have any stories of what it's like to have laser hair removal or electrolosis? I'll wax if I have to, but I'd rather whack it completely.

The wardrobe post will be another round of neepery once I know the ground rules there. I'm just praying that hose and heels will only be mandatory for meetings. I haven't done h&h on a daily basis at work since 1990...

I don't know. But I'm really not kidding about the 2/8 - in fact, it's closer to 1/8, and I'm not sure that the Polished Professional look includes nails that are shorter than your fingers.
