Embrace It!

Last night I went to get my hair done. I brought a picture this time because I really wanted to do something different. I decided to go a lot darker since it's Fall and plus, I'm Italian and I think I look better with darker hair. She also did some very deep reds and the blonde was supposed to be golden. It all blended really well in the picture. However, when she took the tin foil off my hair and I looked in the mirror, some of my hair was orange. AAAAHHHHH! I almost started crying. It looked horrible. I was very up front with her when I said I was not feeling the orange. I know she was trying to make the blonde a golden color, but it looked orange to me. So, she had to totally dye the orange over again and as a result, I was there for 3 hours. Nightmare!

I also wasn't happy with the haircut. She cut a lot off, she styled it way different than usual. I wanted a sweeping bang, but it ended up falling really flat and it was just all in my face and I was just wanting to kill myself. The kicker is when I have to pay her a bunch of money and all I want to do is go home and rip all of my hair out.

I got up this morning and washed it, styled it my usual way and I'm feeling a lot better about it today. Us girls are so funny about hair. I can't tell you how many times I've come home from the salon crying because I was unhappy with the haircut. I think I'm just a creature of habit. In theory I wanted to shake things up a bit and do something different. But, when it actually happened, I started to freak out and I just wanted my old hair back. ha ha

Oh well. I'm going to really try to embrace the new color and the new cut and I'm not going to stress about it anymore.

What's the worst haircut you've ever had?

It's Friday! Go Ravens!

What is the difference between a good haircut & a bad one? About 2 weeks.

FYI: You could have $aved a ton of dough by doing it...gasp! at home using products such as L'Oreal or Garnier Nutrisse. Try to look for an "ash blond" shade as ash tends to cut the red.

Bozo!

Know what's REALLY ugly?

Black or Asian women trying to go blond! LOL! Only worked for Tina Turner, but then again, that was a wig!

Charles Gibson: Miss Alaska, Do you agree with the Bush Doctrine?

Sarah Palin: (After a lengthy pause...) I personally believe that US Americans...some people don't have maps...In what respect, Cheerlie? Ah gee...I'm just a hockey mom!

WHY THIS IS NOT FUNNY: This beauty queen might actually BE the President of the United States if McCain expires while in office. The chances are one in three he just might according to the Actuary Tables!

Please send a picture to me with some cleavage showing so I can tell you how hot you look. :).

Apparently Laura likes to dye her own hair in the trailer park. You go girl. Probably while screwing one of her hick tricks.

Bad hair cuts, yup. Have had them. I just cut mine short and, while it looks cute in person, in photos it just looks funky!

Needless to say, I'm growing that mess out.

I feel you on the haircut. Last January, I went in to get a few inches off. Nothing difficult! I walked out with an ugly short bob. Eight months later, I still hate my hair and it is still shorter than I asked her to cut it.

The same thing happened to me about 6 years ago & I decided never to let a woman cut my hair again. I gave in & look what happened?

Does anyone know how hard it is to find a good gay hairstylist in suburban Texas?
