Have you seen these?
I love them they'd be perfect outside my salon only they cost like around 80 bucks a piece.
Has anyone seen them any where for less?

No, I haven't seen those before. They look great! A lot better than Chia Heads!

There's a gal who owns a local nursery and she has an annual "plant a head" night to benefit Alzheimer's Disease. You might try painting a wig form gray but make a deep hole in the top so you can add a heavy rock first to keep it upright. Great idea for your salon!~Andrea

Y'know, I saw a commercial on recycling several months ago that had several of those styrofoam wig heads used as planters. One of the plants was a succulent called rosary beads, I think another was a simple variegated ivy. Curly rush, moss rose, and chives would be cool too.

edited to add: just thinking of moss rose cascading out of a head shape, all abloom, has that old song running thru' my head now. "If you're going...to Saaaaan Fraaaaancisco, be sure to wear...some flowers in your haaaaiiiir...."

txrose,
What did you decide to do? I'd love to see your results, or, if you found those cement heads cheaper somewhere?
