My hair lady {Natalie in case you were wondering and no, not accepting new clients currently} has been doing my hair for about 9 years.
She has watched my life change completely. I have watched all of her kids go to high school and marry. She has been there for the good, the bad, and the ugly. While giving me expert hair lady advice. She has become a close friend to me over the years. So when she gives me a recipe, I know that it is going to be good. This avocado dip recipe was learned from a restaurant in California.
