What Scissors Taught Me
by
Denise Letienne
Hairstylists make cutting hair look easy. So easy that many of us have tried to do it—on ourselves or someone else—and failed miserably. Forget about bangs, how do they create layers, the right shade of lilac, or balayage? What even is balayage? Aren’t all scissors the same? What Scissors Taught Me reveals little-known facts about hairstyling and yes, even scissors. This memoir is about intricacies and intimacies, connection and challenges. Author Denise Létienne recounts stories filled with joy, humour, patience, and adventure. As many clients often divulge their most personal moments with their hairstylist, Létienne cherishes these relationships and offers her own stories in return. Love is at the heart of this memoir dedicated to paying tribute to her many clients, colleagues, and family. Anyone looking for a light, feel-good read will delight in Létienne’s accounts and anecdotes of her many years in the service industry. While you may not know the author, the way she writes will make you feel like you’re having a conversation with an old friend. Through humour and ease, What Scissors Taught Me will give you a different perspective next time you sit down in a hairstylist’s chair.
"A wonderful read of people, passion, and purpose. 'What Scissors Taught Me' ... real-life experiences that inspire smiles, laughs and tears. Thank you, Denise!" —Wayne Grund CEO Founder Surface Hair Care
