Pomade for change
On a recent trip to Southern California, we made a quick trip out to Joshua Tree. While there, we visited the fabulous Beauty Bubble Salon and Museum — both a working salon (with a customer in the chair as we visited) and multiple rooms off the main salon packed full of hair- and other beauty-related equipment, accessories, and memorabilia. There’s also a gift shop in the front room of the shop.

If you’re in the area, the museum is worth a visit — and maybe stay for a cut and coiff.
