The White Angel thanks for not losing his mask at the fight mask vs. hair. He was on the verge of defeat but was helped by the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Thank you Holy Virgin now I have long hair and a braid.

I was thinking about my fiancé and lost the sense of time while perming the client’s hair. I tried to wet and dry the hair, but they still sticked out like a clown wig. I was scared I’d be fired and started to pray to the Virgin of Juquila. But it happened so that the lady liked a lot her new hairstyle. She even thanked me. I give thanks to the Virgin.

Our boat crashed into the rocks because we were listening the mermaid’s singing and watching her brushing her gorgeous hair. We almost drowned, but thanks to the Holy Virgin of Zapopan we managed to get to the shore and to save our boat with the fish. We don’t listen the mermaid’s songs ever since.

Pablo Bermudes devotes himself to Saint Nicholas of Bari and dedicates him this retablo because his military service has come to the end and now he can grow his hair long.

Since my daughter was left by her boyfriend who went to a hairdresser, she really lost her mind. I felt pity for her seeing her all disheveled—because of the hairdresser she hated the combs. But thanks to my prayers to the Virgin of Zapopan my daughter began to come to her mind. Now she is alright.

This retablo, I dedicate it to Saint Benedict of Palermo for I have found a stylist who made my haircut exactly as I wanted, after I showed him a photo of my favorite actor—Leonardo di Caprio.

Eduviges Guerrero enjoyed her long hair. But one day it got caught in a fan while she was eating a mole in a tavern. She thanks Saint Charbel for nothing serious happened and she only made a laughing stock of herself.

I was attacked by a horrible nagual that suddenly appeared. Terrified, I implored the Virgin of Guadalupe who made so that the nagual disappeared. However, I went through such a shock that my hair turned gray.

Ramiro Treviño, the bass player of the rock band “The Night Cats”, had his hair on fire when the fireworks went on at the end of the concert. He thanks Saint Patrick because there were no grave consequences and he only lost his large mane.

I dedicate this retablo to the Virgin Mary because I don’t have a hairy back anymore thanks to electrolysis.

One night I was coming back home from a bar. I decided to take a short cut through the mountain. There I saw the devil goat. I made the sign of the cross and ran away, although I was pretty drunk. I thank the Virgin of the Rosary because I managed to arrive to my house, the monster didn’t slobber all over me and I only got some gray hair with fright.

I dedicate this retablo to Saint Martha and to my dear doctor Guillen, who prescribed me a fabulous German medicine that cured me from these horrible growing hairs with pus that I had in my left armpit.
