It has been a long and winding road. A road of horridity. A road of crapicity. A road that has left me unwilling to subject myself to regular maintenance due to the feeling of impending doom…
Monday I looked in the mirror and it was clear that something had to be done. Quite frankly, anything.
I called a salon that had just opened up in town. I figured the less Holly history someone has the better.
Of course they were closed on Monday (see how far out of the self maintenance loop I am?) but they cheerfully (yes…cheerfully) returned my call Tuesday morning and set me up for an appointment that afternoon.
I walked in. The receptionist was warm and friendly. I was taken back to the chair and I saw it.
I saw it…
They had tiled the walls with the most amazing tile I recently saw this very tile at the tile showroom. Ever since that showroom moment I have been mentally figuring out how to sell our current house and build a new house around that very tile. Hi tile of glory, I am home.
A lovely person did my color. She listened to me. *gasp* She made suggestions. *gasp* We had free-flowing conversation. *gasp*
The whole time I get to gaze at the tile of glory.
Another lovely person did my haircut. She listened to me. *gasp* She made suggestions. *gasp* We had free-flowing conversation. *gasp*
The whole time I get to gaze at the tile of glory.
She then waxed my eyebrows. I had no input here. I am a brow moron. She took over in a as-gently-as-this-is-going-to-go-down kinda way. *gasp…little tear…* We had free-flowing conversation. *gasp…little tear…*
And if I could see through the pain I could have gazed at the tile of glory.
Oh, oh, oh! I forgot a really good part. While I was in those foil thingys that you have to wait 20 minutes to do whatever they lead me over to a COMPUTER THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE WORLD WIDE WEB and I leisurely visited many of you.
I know. I know. This is WAY TO GOOD TO BE TRUE. But wait, there is more…
I stop to pay at the front desk and this is posted, “We do NOT accept gratuities. We are professionals”.
At this point my hair and brows could look like crap…
You had me at the tile.
But in another stroke of amazingness, my hair and brows look fabulous.
I will get someone to take a picture of me today just to prove it.
And then I am going back to take a picture of that tile…
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
You surfed the web, looked at amazing tile AND didn’t have to tip?!?
I might have to move to your hometown.
Yeah…I need to see the tile. My eyebrows are scary right now. You just reminded me ;0
Sounds like Holly’s found herself a regular.
But did your hair look like crap?
KEEP BELIEVING
No gratuities–wow I love it! Where did you go?!
Can’t wait to see the new do 🙂
You lost me with the no gratuities thing, holy schmoly! So that means the owner of the salon actually pays their employees what they are worth. Fancy that.
Which reminds me, my roots aren’t getting any lighter. I need to make an appt.
I might just make a trip to wherever in the world the heavenly salon is. for my semi-annual haircut.
Oh my goodness! Are you sure you did not dye (did you catch that word play) and go to salon heaven!! I am so gonna tell my people they need to get hooked up on the internet there, and that the gratuity thing is so weird, I just paid you an arm and a leg, part of my car payment, my first born, and now you want me to give you more money? Sorry to all you hairdressers out there dont hate me. :0)
WOW, you hit the jackpot!
Now I have to see that tile.
postas soon as you can on that one.
looking for ward to seeing your hair, as well.
I just chopped another couple inches off of my hair yesterday.
I too am an eyebrow moron. I know nothing. I still have blonde eyebrows and they are somewhat full. I was just thinking that I need some professional help in this area. I do my own hair though, and making an appt. just for an eyebrow wax seems silly. Oh well…
Hey, I felt like you this morning…I looked out my (very suburban) window to see a FOX wandering around on the other side of the back fence…Thank goodness it was on the other side!
Blessings & Peace, EJT
Wow what a good time. I’ve never had my brows waxed sounds scary.
I’m so honored to be that “someone”!!! 🙂
Yes, I will take a picture because you’ve REALLY peaked my interest in the new hair color, cut, & brows 🙂
I waxed fiberglass particles out of Hubby’s arm last night. That’s about as much as I do with wax these days…
