I knew exactly who to call after I got the idea of taking pictures of my friends in my hometown of Kilgore,Texas. I wanted them to feel like they were going on a real photo shoot. Laurie Thrower-Day has been cutting hair for over twenty years. She has a very loyal following so I called her way ahead of time to book an appointment to have everyone’s hair done. We had such a large group that we needed not only Laurie’s hair expertise but Stacy’s as well. Not only did they make them feel special but they all looked so beautiful when they were all finished!
As I was listening and taking pictures of everyone, I couldn’t help but feel like we were in a scene from Steel Magnolias at Truvy’s Beauty Salon. We were all catching up on each others families and in disbelief about how much time had gone by. Aren’t we all still supposed to be in high school? I guess Laurie doesn’t mind me comparing her to Dolly Parton’s character! My friends will all have to fight over who plays Shelby. I want to be Clairee or better yet, Ouiser! Don’t you love Sally Field in that part? Sorry, I got distracted, I just love that movie!
How wonderful to come from a place where you instantly feel like you never left. Who said that you can’t go home again? They must have been from somewhere other than Kilgore.
Thank you Laurie for having the type of salon that not only makes you feel special but like you are right at home.
Truvy,Annelle and M’Lynn played by Laurie,Joy and Cheryl!
We plan on coming back and getting pedicures. The salon has recently been remodeled. Isn’t this room wonderful? So Sassy!
A final group shot in the main salon. Our models were on their way to downtown Kilgore to shop for their outfits to wear for the photo shoot. By the looks of all these ladies,Laurie and Stacy sure know what they are doing!
We enjoyed every minute that you spent making us feel very special and pampered!
Laurie’s Hair Day is located at 3016 Stone Rd. Kilgore,Texas 75662 phone (903)984-5150.
Stay Sassy Y’all.
Love Laurie’s!
Me too! We had so much fun! Can’t wait to get a pedicure there next time!
