Question Hair Salon

Best hair stylist that specializes in blondes? I have white blonde hair and need a root touch up. We just moved here and I’m so nervous to have anyone new do my hair! I’ve had bad experiences in the past where they fried my hair. No budget, I just want someone who has lots of experience blonding! 🫶🏻

Question Looking for Epazote

Anybody know if any of the Mexican markets or grocery stores in town have it fresh? I know I can get the dried version pretty easily but if possible I want to see what the fresh plant is before I go that route. I’ve never cooked with it before.

Discussion Alternative ways to donate that aren’t the DI

69 Upvotes

I just saw the post from the former DI worker about how horrendous working there was. It’s funny because I was there yesterday and about to make a post myself about how insane their prices are. I’m sorry but $6-10 for clearly worn clothing is crazy. Thrift stores are supposed to be there to help give affordable prices for those struggling. I literally get my clothes cheaper at Costco when they go on sale.

The first great alternative is somebody’s attic, the only other thrift store in Logan I’m aware of (they do have two locations). They are great because they work with CAPSA and donate a portion of their profits to them every month. If I remember correctly they also allow people working with CAPSA to come and claim some of their donations for free to help people get back on their feet.

The second alternative which avoids anyone making a profit, is joining the buy nothing group on Facebook. You post what you no longer want, and then you arrange with someone to come get it. It’s great because it puts the burden on moving the items on someone else while also ensuring that people who actually need/want the items get them for free. I personally list things on there often. Every once in a while no one wants an item and then that’s when I donate it to somebody’s attic. Another downside is sometimes people aren’t great at coming to pick up items, but where no money is being exchanged you can just move onto the next person. I set a timeline the first person I talk to has to come by to help with this. If you’re worried about resellers, well that’s against the groups rules and you could report any reseller to the admins. That said, resellers also run rampant in thrift stores.

I’m sure there are other great options in Logan. I know kid to kid, a place you can resell baby items, has an option where they’ll donate items they don’t buy from you to Utah foster children. So you can make money and support a good cause.

If anyone has any other organizations that accept donations definitely list them below.

Question Mouse exterminators

Anyone have a referral for a mouse exterminator? We had someone come who wants a 2-year contract at $60/month. I don’t see the value in that. We’ve never had a mouse problem before.

Question Moving Into Newly Built House, Looking for Internet Options

2 Upvotes

I'm renting a new house just a couple blocks off of Main Street and moving in next week. I have been trying to get internet service set up at the new house, but every provider I've contacted says that the house is not serviced. They will also not give ETAs on when services could be available. I was wondering if anyone has any advice or suggestions on how to get internet set up at the new house.

Question Golf?

2 Upvotes

Anyone been to Logan River GC or Birch Creek GC in the past week? Are they letting people out? Are they charging to play?

I know a few other courses in Northern Utah just have flags in pins on the greens and the shops are closed so you can essentially just go and play. Was just wondering if anyone has been up here recently?

Question What are some good places to work for in Logan?

7 Upvotes

I’ve been looking for a good place to work in Logan, but I just thought I’d ask to see if anyone had any good companies that they recommend.

I’m really fine with doing anything, as long as there’s good room for growth, or to see if there’s any companies I wouldn’t have thought of right off the bat.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Question Transportation out of Logan

13 Upvotes

Hi! Thank you for all the help, advice, laughs from this channel

I have a dr appt near Thanksgiving point. It’s an outpatient thing so I can’t drive & don’t have a driver/buddy who can take me & drive me home.

Is there uber or Lyft type service here? Has anyone had success with some transportation (that didn’t cost more $$ than the event itself 🙄)

Thanks!!

Question Youth soccer

6 Upvotes

I’m looking for a youth soccer league for my 8 year old son. The phone for one was discontinued and the other didn’t have a phone when I googled it lol. At any rate he’s really into it and frankly I’m excited my kid shares a love of soccer. (I played for years in a YMCA league when I was a kid.) If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. Happy new year all. 🥂

Question Does anyone know where I can get violin lessons?

4 Upvotes

I have always wanted to learn and my mother-in-law purchased me a violin for Christmas. From what I know it's next to impossible to teach yourself, so I'm looking for lessons.

Ideally this is someone who would be comfortable with my autism. While not high-supports needs, I do tend to ask a lot of questions in 'normal' situations and even more questions in learning environments as I seem to understand.

I also have verbal tics and a stutter so I would really appreciate non-judgement on that front.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated?

Question Optometrist/Glasses/Contacts Specialist Recs

I am in need of a new eye specialist to help me with post-eye surgery care and also with my glasses and contacts needs. I have had consistently poor experiences with my current specialist (eyepros/eyemart) and would like to take my business elsewhere. Please drop some recommendations for some good docs in Logan who know what they’re doing. Thanks!
