Leila's Hair Museum

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE, MIND BLOWN…read more I did a Super Bowl travel bet (whichever team wins the Super Bowl, visit that city), and was looking for things to do in Kansas City. I love watching travel shows to get ideas, and saw this museum featured on "No Reservations." I have to admit that when I heard they were going to the "hair museum" on the show, that didn't really interest me (I can barely put my hair in a ponytail lol), but I was sold after watching. I had to visit! I absolutely love oddities, the macabre, art, and quirky just weird off-the-beaten path things, and this checked all those boxes! I emailed the museum, and luckily I was able to score a private tour on my birthday! Our guide was Linda, Leila's daughter, and she was so friendly, informative, and a great storyteller. You do have to email in advance for a visit - you can't just show up. So make sure you do that. What we saw inside was the largest hair collection on the planet, and you really just have to be there. It's overwhelming, stunning, and beautiful. If you love genealogy, art, history, oddities, this is for you! It was so touching how so many loved ones have been forever memorialized in hair art and to see Leila and Linda's dedication to keeping the memory of those everyday people alive. It's not just everyday ordinary people, there's hair from celebrities and even religious relics. The stories blew me away! Do yourself a favor and check this place out if you're ever near KC!

While on vacation, I visited the Hair Museum. Needless to say. I've driven by it thousands of…read moretimes. I finally decided to visit it. Now, I didn't have cash, as always, had my card. I was with my mom who had cash. Thank goodness. They don't take cards (ouch). It is 15$ to enter. I previously thought it was hair styles, but after reading here on Yelp, I kind of knew what it was. But, when entering, the weird feeling started. Hair has DNA in it. It would be extremely cool to get a paranormal ghost hunt here. What the Hair Museum consists of mostly is framed hair wreathes from the 1800's. There's thousands of hair wreathes. And there's hair samples (Linoclon, Elvis, Kennedy's among others.) There's also hair jewelry. The hair jewelry is made with human hair (passed down from generation to generation,) on a Kumihimo braid. I dare you to try it. Working with hair is almost my tolerance level. There's also horse hair jewelry that people still make. Horse hair is very coarse. I was impressed and stunned. The wreathes are beautiful, creepy thought provoking and unforgettable. Leila teaches how to to make hair wreathes in classes at the museum. She also wrote a book. It's weird enough to check out if you're in Independence.

Blue & Grey Book Shoppe

(1 review)

This is a small book shop tucked away inside a co-op art center. The floors creaked upon entering…read more I was greeted by one of the arts who joked how no one can sneak up on them anymore. According to the workers, their shops were new-ish due to half the space being constructed into a microbrewery. Prior to that, they were spread out around the space. Blue & Grey is the only book store within the four walls. The majority of the selection are history books and cookbooks. I found a large copy of the Illustrated History of Jackson County which detailed postal codes, city development, and land ownership in the early years. Other history topics include WWI, the American Revolution, and the Civil War. I also found the Collectors' Guide to Cookie Jars.There are some VCRs on the shelves too. Everything is reasonably priced. Becky, the owner, was bubbly. She talked to me about what's inside the store and showed me the adjacent art gallery featuring 12 local artists. It seemed that she really enjoyed working in this space with the artists. In short, this space is worth a walk through, and if you can support any of the local artists/vendors inside, do it!

From the owner: The Blue & Grey Book Shoppe has an expanded inventory of Civil War, Local History and other…read moreAmerican History books - New, Used, and Rare. Plus a selection of Fiction and Non-Fiction books, Doll Clothes, Maps, Curated Gift Items, Fine Art, and Much More.
