Today I'm thankful for my hairdresser.
Many years ago, a friend and I decided to get our virgin hair highlighted at a local beauty school. We had lunch, then were off for what we hoped would be an awesome adventure. Hers turned out great! Mine, not so much. In fact, I left in tears! I spent several hours in the chair the next day, letting them add my own color back in, and trying to fix things.
I never went back after that. Can you blame me?
Months later, after asking another friend where she went, I made an appointment with what would be my new best friend, Marsha. Several years later, I asked her this question: "If you could do anything you wanted to my hair to spice it up, what would you do?" I assumed she'd recommend a new length or a new cut. But she said she'd add some highlights. The thought made my knees shake!
I knew I had to trust her, so the next month I let her do her thing. I told her I didn't want anything drastic and suggested she very slooooowly ease me into it - and she did. That night at supper, my family didn't even notice! A few months later, she did a little more, and I absolutely loved it!
I get my hair cut every five weeks, and have it highlighted every three months. I've tried varying the colors ever so slightly from time to time, and there hasn't been anything I've not liked.
Besides getting the colors just right, Marsha does an excellent job in the cutting and styling department as well! It's so fun to go to a nice salon, be treated to a mini head massage during my shampoo, and then watch while she creates magic with my hair!
Love it - and am so thankful for my hairdresser/friend!
