It’s the lie almost all of us have told at the salon.

Well, now we can all feel vindicated about this naughty behaviour, because Jennifer Aniston has been there too. Admittedly, it was before she met her long-time stylist and pal Chris McMillan — you know, the one she poses topless with — but it still counts.
