The past week has been hectic to say the least for both me and PT. I’m not sure what has been keeping PT so busy, but I do know that she went on a date last Friday night. I hope we hear more about that soon :)
As for me, my week was filled with house/pet sitting for my parents (and by “pet” I mean, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and 4 horses), a crazy work week, and the usual chores/errands that never seem to stop. One of my errands was to get a haircut. I hate getting my haircut. Mainly because it seems to take F-O-R-E-V-E-R. I know some people find it relaxing, but I would rather be doing so many other things. Like getting a massage :) Plus, why are they so expensive? Even crappy stylists are charging more because they think can get away with it. Not with this girl. So what’s my answer? Wait as long as possible to get my hair cut (you know, the point where you must get it cut TODAY) and then go to any place I can find a coupon for. I do this every time and it always turns out to be a nerve-racking experience. My main concern is that the person is available immediately. From what I’ve observed, good hairstylists are not available at the drop of a hat. You generally have to make an appointment in advance.
True to form, I called and made an appointment with the lady that answered the phone. She was available immediately. Strike one. Once I was in the chair, she wanted to cut seven inches of my hair off. No way lady, I made that mistake last time. So I asked her to take off just an inch and then give me layers. She takes off the inch and then grabs a handful of hair from the top of my head and literally cut it in half. I closed my eyes from that point on and then, like a fool, I asked her to thin my hair. Like even more of a fool, I started counting how many times she “razored” my hair to thin it. Forty-two times. I’m here to tell you, that’s a lot of hair. I told myself to stop counting but I couldn’t. I also told myself to speak up and say something, but I couldn’t spit the words out. Plus once she did the left side of my head, it’s not like she could do less on the right side.
Overall, my hair looks better than I thought it would although shorter than I would have liked. But it is just hair and it will grow out. Especially since I probably won’t get another haircut for six months. The cherry though was when she handed me her card, took it back, and in front of “Designer” she penned in “Master “. And just like that, she became a “Master Designer”. Was that really necessary?

Yeah, I don't know what is up with these "stylists." I decided to splurge on highlights about a month ago. Because I really wanted to get my money's worth, I was very specific about the color of highlights I wanted, and this stylist actually made fun of me! She told me that she went to school to become a colorist and knew more about what she was doing that I did. In the end, was my hair blonde enough? No. Did I still have roots showing? Yes. Did I still have to pay over $90 for her "skills?" Yes. Will I ever go back? No.
