There’s an interesting magazine that is distributed free around downtown Fort Lauderdale each month. Called “Go Riverwalk,” this publication has lots of info about places to go and things to do. It’s edited by a friend of mine, Patsy Mennuti, and I always enjoy picking it up. So I was pleased to find that Patsy and her colleagues named their favorite local businesses in the current issue – you know, favorite spa, favorite hot dog joint and so on. It’s fun to learn their opinions. I was especially pleased to discover that we agree about a Las Olas institution called Yellow Strawberry Global Hair Salon. It’s been there for many years but I only began having my hair cut at Yellow Strawberry about six months ago. I can honestly say that I’ve never had so many compliments about my hair as I receive now.
The magazine endorsement of Yellow Strawberry by “Go Riverwalk” got me thinking that I should share my own experiences there. I have nothing but good things to say. The owner is Jesse Briggs, who cuts my hair and somehow has the magic touch. I’m not sure what Jesse does. All I know is that my girlfriend keeps saying things like, “He sure gives you a great haircut!” With enthusiasm like this, why would I want to go anywhere else?
But I find that the Yellow Strawberry experience means a lot more than just a fabulous haircut. (Or the hair extensions, coloring and straightening they do for so many other customers.) Jesse is a unique guy. A character, in the best sense. He’s full of funny stories and tall tales and he loves sharing these freely with anyone in the shop. He may even whip out his guitar or harmonica and belt out some song or other. I love hanging there. At the front desk, you’re likely to meet Joy, who’s always pleasant and efficient. Jesse’s assistant and styling colleague, Franco, is a wonderfully personable fellow too. Plus, Yellow Strawberry is filled with delightful and very beautiful female stylists, including Shelly and Roseli and Kelli and Michelle and Tree and Miranda. And Denise, Jesse’s daughter, who is taking over the family business from Jesse and his great wife, Flo. It really is an experience at Yellow Strawberry. I just had my hair cut there on Tuesday. My girlfriend hasn’t seen it yet, but that’s ok. I already know what she’s going to say.
