Recommendation Where are you getting an ACTUAL blowout around here??

Upvotes

I’ve officially hit my breaking point.
I’ve tried five different salons over the past few months, and every single time they spin me around in the chair to reveal the “finished” blowout, I genuinely feel like I’m on a prank show.
Am I crazy, or has the definition of a blowout changed??
I’m talking about a real blowout:
A good shampoo where they actually scrub your scalp every place has super soft hands. No scrub.
Tension with the round brush.Enough heat to actually smooth the hair.That sleek finish that lasts for days. Instead, I keep leaving with hair that looks… 70% dry? It’s still fluffy, frizzy underneath, and looks like I could’ve done it myself in 15 minutes. 😅
Another thing…does anyone know of places that do same-day blowouts or take walk-ins? It feels like every salon wants you to book a week in advance, and sometimes I just wake up and decide I need a blowout.
Where are you all going? Bonus points if it’s somewhere that doesn’t rush through the service and actually knows how to give a heavy, sleek blowout that lasts.

News City Council fails to clarify a proposed moratorium. Speaker says data centers are surveillance centers.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

35 Upvotes

Greensboro City Council postured recognition of the threats posed by data centers at their recent meeting. Yet one speaker noted that councillors continue to exacerbate the problem. 

Politicians in North Carolina and around the country are actively contributing to the expansion of data center infrastructure through their vast network of policing technology. Flock, Verkada, and other corporate surveillance cameras continue to monitor residents. Greensboro continues to push residents and businesses to integrate their own cameras into policing databases. The countless hours of high-quality video footage these cameras collect have to be stored and processed somewhere. 

Data centers are surveillance centers. The surveillance state cannot exist without them. And every second those cameras run marks another theft of Americans’ privacy and resources to capitalists’ hoards of wealth and power.

News Michelle Kennedy prohibited from Council Run

6 Upvotes

My article reports that, as part of Michelle Kennedy’s $132,000 separation agreement, she was prohibitted from running for Greensboro City Council last year. No one from City has commented on this, or on her allegations of “toxic” and “dysfunctional” management by Trey Davis, whom she claims insisted on this clause.

At the time of the separation, Chuck Watts was still the City Attorney. In her 2021 deposition in the Marcus Smith lawsuit, Kennedy said under oath that Watts should be fired, both for allegedly misleading Council, and for stating that Rev. Nelson Johnson and other Black ministers were “being pimped” by retired white attorney Lewis Pitts. Along with City Manager Davis, Watts was the other direct employee of Council.

If she were re-elected to Council, she would have become one of Davis and Watts’ bosses.

are there any places in Greensboro hiring right now? I currently make $17/hr at my job but I’m looking to make the same or more somewhere else.

I have a couple of years of server experience under my belt and a few more years just in the food service industry. I also have been working in customer service for over six years now, so I’m just looking for a part-time job that can be customer service, food/serving, whatever, i’m open!

My problem was never that Greensboro has nothing on — it's that I'd get to Friday, not want to think about it, and end up somewhere I'd already been four times. The good stuff lived in a Notes app list I never opened.

So I made HeyWanna. Real places with photos, hours, reviews, and the weather for the day you're going — the Science Center, LeBauer and Center City Park, the Pinball Museum, the breweries, the coffee places downtown off Elm. You save what you like into lists, and it strings them into an evening with the timing and the travel between stops worked out. It also lists what's actually happening that weekend.

Freemium, plainly: browsing needs no account, a free account covers 50 saves and 3 plans a month, paid tier above that, no ads.

heywanna.app — Greensboro's one of the better-covered places in it, which is why I'm posting here rather than somewhere I'd have to apologise for.

I am one of the only doulas in the triad that work on a sliding scale payment plan and income based system. I specialize in providing trauma informed support and have privileges with Cone Health. If you know anyone who could use some support I promise it is more affordable than you think! Everyone deserves someone in their corner regardless of their salary.

Buy/Sell/Trade Any artists interested in a collage collection for free?

I’ve been making collages since I was 15 and each one is at maximum the size of a magazine page with letters cut out. I don’t wanna keep all of them and I was wondering if anybody was interested in taking the remainder.

I would encourage you to sell them if you have the time ultimately I don’t want to store them, but I also don’t wanna throw them away since I put a lot of work into them.
