Hair Removal

I thought I would like my hair better once I slept on it, washed it and then did it myself this morning. I was wrong. After I washed my hair I brushed the tangles out, I saw all the uneven angles and realized my hair looked HORRIBLE! I felt like my hair had been cut with a butcher's knife. I started to cry. I cried for an hour while I tried to curl and attempt to make my hair look decent. Chris went into his "fix it" mode and went online to find a good place for me to get it fixed. I didn't want to. I just spent money to get it done, and now I had to spend more money to do it all over again? He insisted, then drove off to check out a place for me to go. So this morning I went back to the salon, to a new stylist and got my hair fixed.

She was nice, I was nervous. She was another non-native English speaker, would it be more of the same? She wanted to cut all the layers off, but I wanted something different from what I've had all my life. "Maybe some bangs?" she thought. NO WAY! I did that for far too long as a child, and I'm never going back to that. So we decided to wash and then consider more options. After a thorough washing and head massage, she noticed all the flaws too. It wasn't cut even in the front, or in the back and though the back has layers, the front does not. Hmmmmm. She fixed the uneven angles and dried my hair.


I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!


Then, because Chris told me to splurge and make myself feel better, I got my eyebrows threaded. I didn't know what that was, but they said it hurt less than waxing so I went for it. It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would, but yes it hurt. I've never had anything done to my eyebrows before, and I'm loving that I don't have bushes above my eyes anymore. I'm liking it so much, I may have to do it again...after Chris gets a job, and we have a little more money to spend on frivolous things.

You think spending money on helping the mama of the house feel better about herself is frivilous? Then you need your priorities readjusted! lol

Laura,
I'm SO sorry about your horrible experience with getting your hair cut. If it makes you feel any better, I can TOTALLY relate. I'm STILL in the process of trying to find a cut I like, and a STYLIST I like. No success with either of those by the way. I've had one bad cut after the other. After Braden was born, my hair went from medium length....to short....to Shorter....and even SHORTER....until there wasn't any more to cut off! I just wanted to cry. I did cry. (Every day for about a year I think) I kept thinking that eventually it would look cute, but it never did. Anyway, I really am sorry that things didn't go the way you had expected. You look good though; I like it shorter. Hope you like it better now that you found another stylist to fix it. And, I'm glad you pampered yourself a little. You deserve it! You're beautiful Laura!!
