We traveled to Maryland for our son’s wedding earlier this month. As the mother of the groom, I wanted my hair styled above and beyond my daily look, especially because it was a formal wedding and I was wearing an evening gown for the occasion. I don’t have the skills needed for this! I researched salons in the area…
