I finally made it to the hairstylist. It's been five months, in many way that may not seem like much time to many of you, but I was trying to grow my hair a little longer...so no visits to the scissor lady. I really like my stylist, she listens, suggests and then snips away....she also knew I would not be seeing her for awhile due to my wanting to grow out this mop of top of me head.
The trouble with growing one's hair "out"..is it becomes unmanageable at some point and the scissors in my own drawer call me to do something drastic.....I held off, stood firm...okay except for those couple of times when my bangs were like sitting on my chin (not really, but I did give those a bit of a trim now and then). I have even snipped off a strand of errant hair, "T" my stylist would just look at me in the mirror as she finds my handiwork and give me a little glare followed by a grin and a quick shake of her head. What are ya goin' ta do? The stuff doesn't "do" what is suppose to for days....off it comes. So as you visualize all this, know that I have a healthy head of hair....lots of curls and a snippet or two taken out will NOT show up quickly.
I waited until after the Christmas rush to get into to see her, imagine my dismay when she was away on holiday for over two weeks. Now what? I could book with another of the stylists in the shoppe.....uh.....oh...uh....uh.....but, I.....OKAY! I'll do it. This "new" young lady did a fabulous job! So, now when I need to get the hair appointment in again, I can have a choice.....who knew one could get so lucky? She even suggested "straightening my curling locks with a flat iron". A what you say? (actually that was me....saying that) I went for it. The stylist figured if I did not like it....well, there's water in the tap and we could begin anew. It only took her a few minutes,
wow...she's good with that wicked looking thing. You cannot imagine my shock when I looked in the mirror....who was this woman with the sleek, shiny....straight hair. What a difference, what a transformation......I love it! I hugged that young lady for putting her magic "wand" to work and gave me a look I had never dreamed of seeing. Pleased doesn't quit cover it. She told me if I ever wanted her to do this again, it would take less than an hour for the wash and style.
No curls, just sleek flowing locks....can you believe it? I still look in the mirror and am shocked.
IN a very good way, but still "gape" would be a word I might use here.
I gotta tell ya, when I walked into the house and my husband viewed my new do....he was much impressed!! It's fun to do something new like this, I dunno if I would do it often to my hair, but it sure opened up a door that was firmly planted closed before. Just imagine.
