his life by the mantra “never look back,” while Britt, who has a tendency to hold on to things, got a tattoo on her arm to serve as a constant reminder to “always look forward.” But no matter which way you slice it, you end up with the same thought: you can’t help but like these guys and wish them well. Britt’s first part-time job was at none other than Tav’s Headlines Hair Salon. She realized early on how much she enjoyed that vocation and has been cutting and styling hair ever since. As for her desire to own her own salon, well that comes from watching her mom running a business she loves doing. Her mother, it turns out, is none other than Kathy Reid a highly trained Reiki master. Kathy was recently featured on the front cover of Reiki News, a publication put out by the International Centre for Reiki Training. We had met Kathy a while back, as well. While there will be a distinction between the salon and Kathy’s Reiki practice, Britt is excited to announce that her mom will be holding classes in the space during the salon’s off hours. Along
those same lines, it would be easy to offer the space as a location for yoga. But with Inglewood’s Discover Your Yoga so close, she says she’d rather support that business instead. The same holds true of Head to Toe Spa, located above the general store. Rather than offering spa services Britt is sticking to only hair. For now, Britt is still leasing her chair at Modern Hairworks, on Creditview, to make the transition easier for her existing clients. Angelo, who hired her on the spot when she showed him her portfolio, is happy for her, though he is sad to see her go. “He says the energy is different when I’m not there but he’s being very supportive.” Over the next few years Chris and Britt are looking to get married, buy a house and have kids. While the strain of owning a business is hard on any relationship, these two are always supportive of each other and credit each other with their success. They definitely make a good match and as for that photo in the ad: well, I’m certainly glad I took it because that’s what got the conversation going. .CS
