A line from a famous commercial for hair color millions of years ago (or 20 years ago, who's counting). This leads us to believe that we tell our hair dressers things that no one else will ever know. In my case, this may be true, but only because my hair dresser is also a good friend. So an appointment with my hair dresser usually involves a lot of talking, a lot of laughing and a lot of wine. Oh, and she cuts my hair too.
My most recent appointment was earlier this evening, so I'm in a pretty good mood right now. I look great and feel great. After years of growing my hair out and trying to find the perfect balance of layers and length, I had reached the pinnacle of hair perfection, except for split ends. I expressed my concern to my friend/hair dresser and she said "oh, you want to keep your sexy hair." What? "You know, when you can swing your head to the left and right and your hair flows around your neck and face at just the right speed, you know, sexy." So, me being the shy person that I am immediately flung my hair to the left and right and, yes, I was sexy. From the neck up anyway.
So I advised her to keep the sexy hair in place and that she did. I still have sexy hair, but without split ends. But that wasn't the best part of the evening. The best part was just talking and sharing our lives and laughing and bearing each other's burdens. . .and the wine.
When I'm asked what makes my hair so gorgeous, even though heredity and pure blessing have a lot to do with it, getting a hair cut from a person who knows you and loves you and understands "sexy" hair makes all the difference in the world. My answer will be "only my hair dresser knows."
Nina is my hairdresser, but more importantly, Nina is my friend!
