Loss.....and Found?

I have lost a lot of people in my life - some more significant than the rest. This week, I lost my hairdresser. Yes, I knew it would happen someday, but I never prepared myself for it. And last week, the realization hit me, he was gone! Gone! Not returning phone calls, gone, as he had taken on a new line of work. I had heard the rumours for a month now, but I always thought "he'll be back. Tim would never leave me! He always promised to be there for me and my hair". Boy, I was wrong. Oh so wrong. And with only a couple weeks until I am in my best friend's wedding, something had to be done to my mane. Something major!

So, I wound up my courage and called the "new girl" Sharleen. I had seen her work, but I still had my doubts! How could she be good? Would she know my hair? What if it all fell out? Flashbacks to my most humiliating poddle perm which I tried to subdue with colour weren't helping! All I could see was the triangular purple poof on top of my head and all the cool people calling me "Purple Hollycomb". Ah! Let me tell you, I was scared, oh so scared! Could anyone replace Tim? Would she ruin my hair for my friend's big day? The answer - hell no!

It is offical, I have "sex hair". Vamp hair. Hair that screams, throw me on the floor and fuck me! It is hot, and believe me, I don't use those words ever when it comes to my apperance! It is espresso brown with fun layers that make it move around and look fabulous! Sharleen even straight ironed it for me! Does it get any better? Yes, yes it does, because I paid 50% less for this cute and colour than I did with Tim!

So, the moral, don't be so afraid of change. And honestly, it is just hair, it will grow back. Oh and Tim, good luck with your other business......I will be very happy with my new hair stylist!
