Strange Beauty Show
I just got back from my new hair salon. It's literally a block from my house, and it's awesome.
First of all, I love love my new haircut and color. She actually did what I asked, which is a new experience!
Secondly, for a cut and color it was $90. Better than the $200 I spent at the last place I went only to find that my color was indeed the burgundy I had been very clear about wanting to avoid.
Thirdly, the cut AND color took (drum roll) an hour and a half. Not the FOUR AND A HALF hours it took at my last salon. I am not joking. An hour of which was spent with dripping wet hair waiting for my stylist to finish dying someone else's hair at a rate of 1 hair per minute.
Fourthly, if that's a word, it was the most relaxed salon atmosphere. It's tiny, and it feels like you are a teenager again and you're hanging out in your friend's bedroom with records playing, and they're styling your hair. (If your friend is actually a professional stylist. Think Jessica Simpson/Ken Paves)
They also show art on the walls, and I found a piece I may be purchasing if I can convince Brendan that two white rabbits staring at each other with a cartoon bubble over their head is art belonging in our home and not way off the charts weird.
