New Look

[marjorie73]

Old Hair

So, I finally got around to getting my hair cut, mostly as it has reached the length where  I couldn't do much with it except have it in a plait or pony tail the whole time..

I did, of course, have my normal conversation with the salon when I booked the appointment:

Me: "Could you make it a double length appointment? My hair is *really* thick and always takes longer than normal to cut."

Salon Receptionist "Sure, that won't be a problem"

Later..

Stylist: "Wow, you have so much hair! It's really thick!"

New Hair

Me: "Yes, I know. I did mention it when I made the appointment, as it always takes a long time"

Receptionist in background, to next customer "I'm afraid [Stylist's name] is running late - it'll be another 20 minutes or so.."

To do them justice, I didn't get any sense that the stylist then tried to rush to finish off my cut, but I felt a little sorry for the customer waiting an extra half hour because they didn't believe me..

Of course, now I shall spend the next few days combing the back of my neck, and using 3 times as much shampoo as I need, but on the whole I'm happy with the new look.

Why thank you, ladies :-) I rather like it myself (although whether it will look as neat one I've washed and dried it myself, is another matter, of course ..

It is lovely



But it took me way longer than that to stop trying to lift the long hair through jumper necks after I didn't have the hair anymore!
