Portland Another One Bites the Dust: Dirty Little Secret

Posted by Marjorie Skinner on Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 9:55 AM

Can somebody please do something about this economy problem? Please? I know it's not as exciting as a sex scandal, but it's pretty suck. Seriously, get on it.

The latest victim: Dirty Little Secret. And quickly too: The salon, where many a Portlander has gotten their hair did, and which only a few years ago was doing well enough to have expanded and began offering a full range of spa service, is officially shut as of February 1st. As in, two days from now. The upside, if there is one, is that they will be having a fire sale/farewell open house on Sunday, Feb 8, 12-6 pm, with "tons of cool tables, cubbies, chairs, lights, vanities, massage/spa/salon equipment, some product, etc., all on sale—make an offer style."

If you've ever been to the salon (even if only to party after a show at Dunes), then you know how cool these people are. Time to pour some out for your homies, as they say.

The "doing well enough to have expanded" was the problem, I think. That spa was nice (I loved the sunshine room!), but... I bet had they not expanded they'd still be around.

Poor DLS. But I was happy to find out when I was in today that Aime--who is the best curly hair stylist in town--and Lucinda are moving over to Whack Salon at the Jupiter hotel on Burnside. 503.232.9225. Go give 'em some love.

It's not going to get better anytime soon Marjorie. Expect a lot more of this type of news throughout 2009. There is no quick fix for this problem. 3 out of the last 4 presidents were conservatives. Deregulation, starting with Reagan all the way through the last 8 years of mega disaster under W created this economic mess. Deregulation made those who are greedy bolder because the government wasn't watching. Now we have financial collapse while they pat themselves on the back by using our bailout money for bonuses.

When will conservatives realize the major FAIL they created.

re: When will conservatives realize the major FAIL they createdThat's so cute! In your world, the roots of world economic currents only go back a decade or so, and only involve one group. Who's a pwecious little ignoramous? You, cuddlywuddly doofus!
