Got my hair cut!

Saturday, April 26, 2008

So, this is a totally random post and has nothing to do with anything but the fact that I finally went and got my hair cut for the first time in almost a year. After the salon I’d been going to shut down nearly two years ago, I’ve only had my hair cut twice, which is highly unusual for me. When I have a stylist I like, I enjoy going to the salon and getting my hair washed, cut, and styled by someone else for a change. But between losing my salon and laziness, I went from a quite short haircut to hair reaching almost to the tips of my shoulderblades in two years.

With the office move, I don’t have to be at work until noon on Monday, so I thought I’d drive around Berry Hill, the former residential area that, shortly before I moved here in 1996, turned into a boutique-store mecca. It’s maybe two miles from where I live, and it’s where my previous salon was located—the salon that had a Steel Magnolias feel to it that I loved. I figured I’d call a couple of them while I drove around to see if they could fit me in today or Monday morning. 

The first one I pulled up to not only could take me as a walk-in, but she could take me right then. So, after suffering through long, straggly hair for a year, in half an hour, I walked out with a new salon and the cut I’d been hoping for:
