Social media posts over the COVID-19 quarantine period have been filled with home haircuts gone wrong. In some cases, very wrong. But not from the Hohner household. We were blessed. One of our Corona Companions, Josh’s girlfriend Paige, is a hairstylist.

On more than one rainy April day, Paige dried and styled my hair, just so life would feel a little bit normal for both of us. Then Paige volunteered to cut and color my hair. She suggested adding in a couple of fun shades. We settled on bright purple and sea green. When the supplies arrived, Paige went to work. It was a process, but the end result was a dream — soft silver curls with unexpected highlights.

Now that the country has reopened hair salons, Joe wanted to post a photo or two. I’m not the only family member that has benefited from our in-home hair stylist. Paige has kept Josh’s mountain-man beard conditioned and trimmed. Joe saw the results and asked for haircut.

Then when the spring sun finally returned and started warming up the days, Molly, our dog, still sporting her winter coat was too hot to hang out on the deck. Paige stepped in and tried to her hand at dog grooming. With a handful of treats, Paige was able to give Molly a much needed hair cut.

Although, it is our greatest hope that this past spring will be our one and only quarantine experience, Joe and I were happy to share our home with Josh and Paige. Before the July Fourth weekend, they both went home. We miss them already!
