24-7 with Mimi Perper

Owner, Figaro Salon, Greensboro

My family:  Randy, three cats and one smart dog.

My work:  Figaro Salon. Hair design paired with a scalp & hair spa.

My favorite possession:  My integrity.

I’m thinking about:  Learning to fly a plane.

Words I live by: Feel the fear and forge ahead.

One thing I never want to do again: Do work I don’t absolutely love.

If I could be totally wild, I would: Visit other cultures and write peoples’ stories.

The one item that has changed my life:  A pair of haircutting shears.

Last major purchase:  An impressionistic painting by Greensboro’s Derec Roache.

If I had a vanity plate on my car, it would say:  LISTEN.

If I could do it all over again:  I’d have traveled more when younger.

I still can’t get the hang of: My computer

I wish I’d known: That I really could do whatever I wanted.

Something most people don’t know about me: I once dreamed of being a jockey.

The smartest woman I know: Recognizes every decision is a reflection of her values.

Always...Eat crow while it’s still warm.

Never...Miss a chance to show your appreciation.
