Is your 401(k) having a rough year? The popular answer is yes! When you call the Jon Charles Salon (1221 W. Lake St., Mpls., 612-724-2444, www.joncharlessalon.net) and make an appointment for a cut with Charles or a color with creative director Craig Weitz, ask for the stimulus discount. Bring in a copy of your latest retirement plan statement with the percentage lost and you'll get that percent off your service, up to 50 percent. That might give you an incentive to actually look at the statement.

Style Star Lindsey Day of St. Louis Park

Spotted at: Orchestra Hall

It was Lindsey Day's first time at Orchestra Hall, but she already looked like a regular. She got her dress with beaded straps at the Len Druskin Outlet at Southdale and her Sarah-Jane shoes from Journeys.
