5 /5 carmine Perrelli: Im 62 and Im a former Canadian politician who has been vacationing in Sarasota since 1990. I am Italian and have never had a haircut by anyone other than a family member. I have 17 family members who are hair stylists. Until recently, I would only allow my cousin Frank Perrelli from Ginger Root hair Salon in St. Charles Illinois to cut my hair. Let me cut to the chase. A month ago, while in Sarasota, my hair got too long and Cousin Frank had to cancel his trip to Florida to cut my hair. Desperate and no family to turn to, I asked a dear friend if they knew of a hairstylist willing to take on a customer like me. Against my better judgement and out of sheer desperation, I got in my car and went to my appointment with Nila. She was about to meet a hair stylists worst nightmare. Not because I was rude, but because I expect perfection. Let me repeat, PERFECTION. As a hair transplant recipient, cutting my hair brings its own special challenges on top of going outside the Family. Nila was being compared to the Top Stylist in the Perrelli Family as the first person in 62 years who was not family, to cut my hair. Dont forget, I expect perfection. Well, I waited a month to post this comment because the true quality of a haircut can only be appreciated in the weeks following the cut. Nila, at the Risk of being excommunicated by generations of Perrelli stylists, your cut was near perfection and you are ranked as good as Cousin Frank. Every time I look in the mirror, Im grateful for your talent and for putting up with me. With your permission and if you will have me, I would be honored if you would cut my hair in future when Im in Sarasota. Just in case youre worried, I have Cousin Franks blessing.
