Racked Rx, a new feature highlighting the best places in the city to get your shoes repaired, your clothes cleaned, your hair cut, your blender fixed, and all your other material ailments cured. No item is too high maintenance; no appliance is too quirky.

She studied me for about thirty seconds and then said, "I think you should look like a folksinger who lives in the Village in the early '60s. Like someone who cut her hair herself." As it happened, that was exactly what I wanted, only I didn't know it. Later, when I went back for another cut, she amended the description to "A British schoolgirl who is having an affair with one of the Rolling Stones." Again: How did she know?

Granted, these are not the rarest of haircut ambitions (it's not like she somehow guessed my deep-seated desire to look like a Sun Belt mom who's having a midlife crisis, or a longshoreman after a long and difficult winter) but it's still impressive that she was able to size me up immediately. And her skills don't just apply to people who are obsessed with Mad Men; she keeps a preppy friend of mine looking like a natural redhead, and I have a curly-haired friend who loves her.
