Okay, I don’t know if there is a list anywhere of things you don’t expect to see at the beauty shop, but if there is, I’m sure a capuchin monkey is in the top three.
This is Maggie…she’s four months old…and yes, she was at the beauty shop today when I went in to get a haircut. No, she wasn’t being beautified!! 
She made the sweetest little sounds….more like a bird than a monkey. She was very well-behaved and fascinated everyone who came in.
Aren’t her hands amazing? And her ears were just too human. She had a really intelligent look about her. The lady who owned her, said that capuchin monkeys were trained to live with and help paraplegics and that they live to be around 40 years old.
She’s clinging to a stuffed bear that is like her security blanket. She made some of the funniest faces. It was hard to stop watching her long enough to get photos.
Not that I would want to own one – that’s a long-time commitment to make and they’re just a little to human-looking to feel like a pet – but she was fun to watch.

What a cutie!!!!!! :D
How cute! I especially love the last picture. :-)
Darling!
I am SO impressed by these little creatures and how very clever they are!
Gasp! That little face!
A friend of mine actually has a monkey, a retired lab animal rescue. Unfortunately she lives far away so I never get to play with it.
