Hair Affair

BEFORE

AFTER


what a fun day. Today, for the first time in my life, I went to the salon to get my hair colored. It was wonderful. I will totally do it again! I actually went to the Paul Mitchell hair academy. I was a little nervous because it is a school and I have heard bad stories about beauty schools, but I was so impressed. They were very professional and totally pampered me. After talking with the girl who was going to do my hair they decided to splice my hair instead of weaving it. (I am trying to go blond, as Devon has recently informed me that is how he prefers my hair) I have never heard of splicing and it is hard to explain but it makes it easier to touch up and the grow out line isn't so obvious. Anyway, after they put the foils all through my hair and waited for it to process (which was really quick, I guess my hair "pulls" fast) they took me to go rinse it out. That is when the whole experience turned blissful. Out on the floor all the lights are on and there are people talking and laughing. You can catch whiffs of bleach and perm solution. But then they take you into the room to rinse your hair and it is like walking into a spa. The lights are low, it smells like peppermint, and there is nice piano music playing in the background. After taking out all the foils they rinsed my hair in nice warm water. It felt so nice, you could feel all the tension just drain. Then I proceeded to to sit there for about forty five minutes while they put in toner, then shampoo, and finally conditioner. Every time they put one of them in they would take like 5 min. and massage my head. It was so heavenly. After I was all done in the wash room and totally relaxed they took me back out and dried and styled my hair. The whole thing took about 21/2 hours. It was so nice, and the best part is that it only cost 25.00! (Anywhere else they tend to run 50.00-75.00) And I LOVE the way it turned out and so does Devon. Needless to say, I will totally recommend them to anyone. If anyone has a Paul Mitchell school near them I strongly suggest you check them out.
