COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - Claiming there is no future for him in counseling, Steve declared his plan to immediately abandon his counseling graduate studies to begin a career in hairdressing.

According to Garufi, his budding fascination with his own naturally curly hair, along with his vast experiences with six different hair consultants, motivated Steve to explore a career in hair design. He has been a master's level counseling student for the past two years.

"I just realized I don't want to be listening to people telling me all of their loser stories all day in a counseling room. There's got to be something better out there." explained Steve.

"Well you realized that a little too late there, mister." Dawnn DiVito interjected, his current hair consultant, "That's not very wise. Leave the hair thing to me and focus on your counseling."

Friends close to Steve say the critical event that swayed Steve's career shift was DiVito's bold move in kissing Steve's dark locks last week.

"I just know that my passion for my hair and other people's hair is going to be used by God in some manner. I'm real excited." said Garufi.

Garufi has no prior experience in hairdressing, but plans to obtain training this summer.
