Salon visit actually fun

Just wanted to share my recent visit to a hair salon for a consultation. I've gone 12 months with no trims. Before that I had my wife cut my hair very short with scissors and a razor for 6 years. So I was a little nervous.

I have thick, curly/wavy hair and am still smack dab in the middle of the "awkward stage!" Anyway, I went in with the notion of getting some trimmed off the back so as I could continue to grow out my layers all to one length. With everybody around me constantly saying, "cut your hair!" I expected the same from the hair salon people. Well, I must say, I really lucked out! I got this great hair stylist who listened VERY WELL. She could see I was growing out my hair, and she just had fun with it (nice to have fingers run through my hair!). I fully understand it will be awhile before I can put all my hair back in a ponytail, but she used some gel and a cool brush with really wide rubber bristles and slicked it all back...and actually gave me a small ponytail! The scissors never even came into the picture.

Now, I didn't really like how it looked (or was just in shock), but it was nice to start seeing some of the options I will have in the near future! She didn't even charge me for my time plus she sterilized the brush and GAVE it to me (so I did tip her)!

As a result, I've had a little more confidence in playing with putting my hair back and in a small ponytail. I even got my wife to show my some of the secret female ponytail tying tricks! She just may come around, yet.
