But after a few days on the job, Clay discovers that the store is more curious than either its name or its gnomic owner might suggest.

一直以來，我對髮型設計有著不變的激情與熱愛，再加上心手合一的心境，總能讓我把平凡的髮絲，雕塑成獨一無二的髮型藝術品。當然，回歸現實面也要考慮顧客的條件、需求及喜愛，所以更貼切的說法應該是：把髮型的藝術轉換成商業的藝術，這樣的髮型藝術，才有真正的價值與認同感，並且也才能創造髮型藝術的成就感。 其實在本書中，我最想表達的是「巔覆的觀念」，巔覆我們所想像的燙髮世界，巔覆我們以住對燙髮的刻板印象。簡單來
