Behind the register is drapes to separate the four women who a huge image of the three most famous Pack members: Dean cut and style the hair of the famous, the aspiring and everyday Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra. (Hmm; who are role models. All four are back after being idled, having collected unemployment during the two and a half the two others? Read to the end for the months Cutters was out of commission. Meyer was answer.) The most important thing to know apprehensive about what sort of response she’d about the venerable snippery, other than receive after an email to clientele, but she ended up the fact that it’s been there for 98 years, is feeling flabbergasted. Almost everyone needed an that it reopened May 18 after a remodeling WE TREAT appointment, including businessmen, professionals, during ‘lockdown,’ ‘quarantine,’ or however EACH CLIENT doctors, college students, local notables and other history will end up referring to our first LIKE A famous people (an exclusive group that Meyer experience with a 21st-century pandemic. keeps in the safe, so to speak). “We treat each client CDC guidelines, along with common-sense CELEBRITY... like a celebrity, so everyone feels like a VIP,” insists approaches considering the nature of the Meyer. She and her husband Tom kicked off Cutters business, provide more space for the shop on December 12, 2005, after an extensive rehab to and a sense of well-being for clippers and clients. Of course, masks are de rigueur; everybody knows the shop. (It would have been the 90th birthday of Ol’ Blue better than to show up without one. The entrance has been Eyes, who died in 1998.) They don’t cut hair, but they do make expanded into the lobby, one of four barber chairs is off limits the shop spick and span for Monday, the first business day of
a six-day week. “Not only are we the owners, we’re the janitors, too,” Meyer says with a chuckle. So whose follicles have they seen up close and personal, as it were? Suffice it to say, in the first 98 years, presidents, actors, athletes and other celebs have had their hair cut there, but scissor-wielders who have gone on to their eternal reward took with them the knowledge of who wore a toupée besides Sinatra. (Oh, yeah: Along with the Chairman of the Board, Davis and Martin, the other two Rat Pack members shown in the photo are Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop. Judy Garland was ‘First Vice-President.’ But you peeked, didn’t you.) Well, would Miriam and Tom alter anything about their operation, which over the past 15 years has shorn men with visions of franchises dancing in their heads? Nope, no change there.

Think carefully about the proposed terms of a divorce settlement
The process of divorcing is often complex and difficult. There are a few things that make this even more challenging. Having numerous assets or having an ex who is not willing to work to come to mutually agreeable terms are two of these. Individuals might not want to think about having to battle things out in court, but it may be necessary if the settlement negotiations are not successful. Negotiating the terms of the divorce requires that both parties in the matter be willing to compromise. In most cases, neither party is going to get everything they want. Being able to think clearly about how various arrangements impact them may
help as they evaluate the potential options. It is usually best to think about what aspects of the end of the marriage they want to focus. For example, they might not care about what happens to the marital home, but they may want to keep their special art collection. In these cases, a strategy can be worked out that increases the chance of that happening. Determining what is truly important to them can also help them to save their energy for those matters. Parties should think about the long-term implications of the settlement. This includes taking a look at how the arrangements will affect their finances in the future. Assets that are costly to keep up might not be ideal when they are trying to survive solely on their own income. Therefore,
it is important to evaluate the possible settlement options to ensure they make informed decisions.
