Doing Hair in Atlanta

For those of you who don't know, I just recently moved to Atlanta, Ga for no reason in particular. I am currently working at a salon called Deeply Rooted which is a really awesome place to work. I meet a lot of interesting people who have interesting ways of talking. I had two clients last week who were teaching me some slang, and I honestly felt like I was really old. These guys where only about six or seven years younger than me.


So here is the slang that I learned so far.....

" A Big dog yo dreds is Fi(Fire without the re)
Translation: "Your locs look Hot" of "your locs look nice".....lol
"He's lurkin"
Translation: He's checking himself out in the mirror"


Okay that was funny.

I also tell people that I just moved down from Maryland near Baltimore, and the first thing that they ask me about is the wire.

Okay until later.
