Producer Philip Graitcer has found a unique twist on a holiday theme with this soft feature about a hairdresser that specializes in preparing the hair and beards of Santa's from around the country. The piece consists of narration interspersed with vox pops from the hairdresser and various customers at her shop in a strip mall. The narration is very well written and the interview cuts are good. I thought that the high volume of background sound on the interviews fading up and out and under at various times was a bit distracting and called attention to itself at times, but overall, the piece is highly listenable.
