She has been doing all the Loose's & Gruninger's hair & also others, and she is just wonderful. Some of us have also been suntanning in her new over size Tanning Bed. It's so nice because it's so big & tan's you very fast because it's a new bed & new bulbs. Because as you know they can get pretty hot & stuffy, the longer you have to stay in. Her room that she has it in is big, very private, pretty & cool. She's a wonderful person & treats you like gold & is very accommodating. We would like to thank her for everything and being so good & hospitable to us all. Also her hair, perms & suntanning prices are very reasonable. For anyone wanting to get their hair done or suntan, it is well worth the short trip out of town to Country Lane Hairstyles. Betty's number is 758-3339. I promise you won't be disappointed.
