Looking for new hair dresser

16 Upvotes

Hi all, I’ve gotten my hair cut and dyed at Posh Salon on Richmond Road for about 3 years, but over the months they keep adding new charges because of new policies I guess and I also don’t really get the haircuts I want and am asking for.

I’m thinking of switching stylists there possibly, but the creeping charges are frustrating me and sometimes I don’t know until I look at my receipt. I’ve been overcharged there before too.

Does anyone have any recs that are not Cha Cha’s? (those prices are absolutely insane lol) i feel like Posh and Cha Cha’s are the two bigger salons that do awesome work, but those are pretty much the only 2 I see recommended here.

Council Announces Medical Debt Relief Over $31 Million

Post image
43 Upvotes

It is time to once again, ā€œcheck your mail, Lexington!ā€ An additional 4,189 Fayette County residents will soon receive letters notifying them that some or all of their outstanding medical debt has been abolished.

The Urban County Council voted unanimously in October 2024 to enter a partnership with Undue Medical Debt, a national nonprofit that purchases and abolishes medical debts. The Council’s investment of $1 million has the potential to forgive up to $90 million in debt.

The most recent round of abolishment is valued at $8,157,509.54, bringing the total amount of outstanding medical debt forgiven in Lexington to $31,318,603.59 for 15,144 individual residents. Recipients of this relief have received an average of $2,000 in medical debt forgiveness.

Those who receive mailed notifications are encouraged to keep their letters as proof that their debts have been eliminated. This relief is automatic, based on the qualifications outlined below.

Medical debt relief is source-based, meaning Undue Medical Debt can only eliminate qualifying medical debts it is able to acquire from partner providers, like hospitals or debt collectors. Medical debt relief cannot be requested by individuals.

TTRPG players- gauging interest

15 Upvotes

My husband and I play in a group that changes TTRPGs once we complete a campaign. So far, we've played Dragonbane, Shadowdark, Morkborg, Mothership, Blades in the Dark and Lancer.

D&D is a lot of fun, but there's a ton of other games out there that we think people would really like if they got the chance to experience them. Some of them are far easier and faster to learn than D&D too.

So my question is - if there was a thing once or twice a month where you could try a one shot of a new game, would you do it?

Ask Lex Does Anywhere Sell Costume Contact Lenses in Lexington?

• Upvotes

I understand I could go to Walmart or order some from Lenses with a prescription, however my costume plans fell through and I have a great idea for a last minute costume, however the costume greatly depends on having certain contacts in, and I don’t have the time to get a new script and order them. I also know that anywhere that sells them without a prescription could be dodgy but I wanted to put some feelers out before I throw the whole idea away

Has Anyone Tried Minternet?

4 Upvotes

I’m losing my job in a month, and I’m considering reducing my expenses by switching my phone and/or internet service. Mint Mobile is doing ā€œMinternetā€ now, and the website says it’s available for my Lexington address. Has anyone tried it? Who handled installation? How’s the speed, frequency of outages, etc?

Edit: I currently have Metronet (fiber) internet, for comparison, and am happy with it.

What are the yummy hotspots you’d recommend inside Keeneland to grab good food if we have general admission tickets?
Do men and women normally wear hats as such at The Derby, or is that a faux pas?
What’s a helpful tidbit you’d share with everyone?
Thanks!!

Christmas Lighting inquiries??

12 Upvotes

I'm unsure if this sort of post is allowed. I see a lot of signs about "we do Christmas lights!" Or businesses who install Christmas lights in general. For people who have done this and paid for it, what was your experience like? Was it expensive? How do they gauge the pricing?

Yeah I understand I could inquire and get my own estimates but I'd rather hear a real experience with this rather than have someone come to my home lol.

There’s an old saying: ā€œRing around the Moon, rain soonā€

Lunar Halos are caused by the light from the moon refracting on ice crystals waaaaaay up in the atmosphere, and usually occur before weather changes.

I’m District 4 Councilwoman Emma Curtis, currently running for re-election. AMA!

146 Upvotes

Good afternoon, r/Lexington!

My name is Emma Curtis and it’s the honor of my life to serve as the Councilwoman for Lexington’s 4th District.

I’m currently nearing the end of my first term in office and seeking re-election for a second term because I believe that Lexington belongs to ALL of us—not just a select few.

You can learn more about where I stand on the issues facing District 4 and all of Lexington here: On The Issues

You can learn more about what I’ve done in my first term here: Emma's Record

And I’m here to answer any questions you have about our campaign, what’s going on at City Hall, or anything else!

Ask away!

PS—There’s been a lot of nastiness and pettiness going around during this election cycle, so please try to be kind and respectful to each other here, even when we disagree šŸ’™

Edit: Okay, y'all! My dog needs a walk, so I'm gonna hop off for now.

I think I responded to everybody, but I'll log back on later to double check and make sure I didn't miss anybody. Thanks for your questions and for being kind to each other in the comments šŸ’™

If you want to learn more about my campaign or request a yard sign or any of that jazz, you can do so at emmaforlex.com.

You can also find me on Facebook, on Instagram, and (less frequently) on TikTok and BlueSky.

Take care and don't forget to vote on or before November 3rd!!

Apparently, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has discussed a plan to launch his presidential campaign shortly after the December meeting of the DGA.

Ask Lex Making Friends in Lexington

17 Upvotes

Average guy here, Lexington native, early thirties.

Where does one go to make friends now? I don’t really have trouble making friends, more just finding the opportunities to do it.

I would just like to find some friends or buddies to hang with and get to know. My work setup doesn’t really allot for it - and the good friends I have are great, I just don’t get to see them as much as I would like and hangout due to life circumstances.

So if you have suggestions on where to go, or events, or groups. Let me know. Or if you are also in need of a friend, hit me up and we’ll chat! I like to think I’m driven, educated, good work ethic, down to earth and loyal. I attempt to be funny - but I’ll let someone else judge that.

Drop some suggestions or shoot me a chat message!

Ask Lex Election for Fayette/Lexington Candidates

11 Upvotes

Where's some good information about the Lexington/Fayette County candidates for things that the candidates are for/against because I'm taking voting seriously and cannot fathom voting randomly. Because these candidates are serving us as citizens and I need to know where they stand

like.....

Mayor (Linda Gorton/Raquel Carter)

Urban County Council AT-Large (Ohmer/Lynn/Shafer/Brown/Wu/Spires)

District Judges (There's a bunch)

Is there a website? Does anyone know them personally? How did they vote? For the citizens? Or for citizens with big bucks/businesses? I need ALL the details because I'm seriously voting for who has integrity to vote for the least of us and hear the voices of the disadvantaged, minorities and not just those that have the most money....
