It (really frickin') Hurts to Be Beautiful...

Rushing from the office today to make it to my five p.m. hair appointment, I arrived right on time. And waited.  And waited.

I was fuming while trying to read "Undead and Uneasy" by MaryJanice Davidson.  I hated to be kept waiting.  However, if I'd known what was in store for me in the back of the salon, I would've run.  Far, far away!

My normal sylist is on a medical leave but another woman took over my appointment.  Since I really only wanted a trim and some highlights I wasn't worrying too much. 

Three hours later I was still sitting in that black spinning chair.  My  head was covered in foil and the stylist was heading to the backroom to mix up a THIRD bowl of color for my massive amount of hair.  Twenty minutes under the dryer, ten under the faucet and another thirty getting a blow out and I was done. 

Some people, even professionally trained ones, still have a problem dealing with long, thick hair.  This woman, Sherry, was really nice.  But as she stood behind me and pulled, tugged, yanked and hacked at my hair with a comb, I wished nothing more than to burn her repeatedly with a high-intensity curling iron. 

Four hours after I had originally stepped in to the salon, I left, $95 lighter, blonder and more than a little sore. 

So what has this taught us?

Well, me - nothing.  I was just looking for a good ending for this entry.  Tee hee. 

WE LEAVE FOR HAWAII NEXT WEEK!!!
