 Hey, this is Michelle Goetzinger. I'm here in Regent Square at Stiles by Cardamone and I'm gonna get my hair done and we're gonna get to know Annette Cardamone and hang out in this cool place down here. I started in my basement when I was like, my parents' basement when I was 16. I was still in school and I would cut hair, people would allow me to do their hair and trust me. That's a lot of trust for, I don't think I trust too many 16 year olds but they were also 16 and maybe they're families or their parents or whatever. So sure, go ahead. And I'm right. I also then after that opened a place up because one of my clients owned a building that I used to do in my basement and she allowed me to come into her building and open a business because she trusted me to be able to pay the rent. Which shows a lot about your character. Number one that somebody would trust you, that young and number two, you started that young. So you had people that have followed you from your basement when you very first started. So what do you do that keeps people coming back? I feel like I treat people with respect and I treat them like family and I try to listen to their needs and do exactly what they need me to do and I feel like they trust me. So I get a lot of people that are still coming to me from that time I was 16 and that was a long time ago. Well, this is like a really personal process for especially for a girl. I mean, I'm sure it is for guys too, but for a girl like you're here for 40 minutes, you know, changing your look and you know, you're like a therapist, don't you think? Yes, I should have had a degree, but I don't. So yeah, that's true. I mean, people, it's like having a new doctor or a new, you know, if you get a personal relationship with each of your clients and I feel like they treat me like family as well as I treat them. Yeah, you said he's people coming in the hallway from Indiana. Indiana, I have a professor. I have some people who come from Manessin. I mean, that's far. It's a far drive, yeah. That's once a month and she comes faithfully. And one of your other passions other than cutting hair is cooking. Cooking, yes. I like to make homemade Italian foods. Hence my figure. But you, how much did you say you can to year? We do like 280 jars of sauce. That is time consuming. It is, but you have a whole bunch of people, everybody's cutting tomatoes, they're squishing them all down. Oh yeah, it's just the process and then we eat. So there's always a, there's- A reward at the end. A reward at the end. We all sit around and get dirty and messy and then we eat. That's awesome. Right. Yeah, and that contributes to this home feel that you get. I noticed it right as I walked in the door. What is your favorite food to make? My favorite food to make is probably the cavatellis and meatballs, because I make them homemade with regatta and flour. And I just crank them out with my hands, not any kind of machine. What's a cavatelli? It's sort of like a gnocchi, but it's not made with potatoes, it's made with regatta. Okay, that sounds good. It's really good. Yeah.
