Hair

Well, back to wedding stuff!

As many already know I recently had a bit of a hair catastrophe. The hair dresser I had been going to for nearly 3 years just decided not to listen to me anymore. I went in for a touch up on highlights and she decided that I needed to be blonde (even though I strongly told her I did not want that). Instead of just turning me blonde, she really messed up my hair. She under processed it, so when I got home in natural lights, I was able to see that she had turned my hair YELLOW!!!! Just over 3 months before my wedding, can you say 'Bad Timing'?! I went back to her that same day and insisted that she fix it. Instead of going back to the brown I had before (and wanted) she tried to reprocess it and turn the yellow to blonde. While she was doing that she proceeded to tell me how right before the wedding we should go fully blonde and shock everyone. I was furious!!! She lost her mind, and apparently her hearing. I had been blonde for many years, but for nearly a year now I have been back to my natural color and I was really happy with it. Anyway, she still didn't fix it, and I was not getting anywhere with her so I found a place open that took walk ins and went in for them to low light it and get the yellow out and some of the blonde.

The girl I found to help that afternoon was really nice, and did all she could, but she was worried that if she did too much it could damage my hair. So even though she did help, I was still not happy with the color. What was I going to do, 3 months until the wedding, and I have to find a new hair dresser?

Good news!!! My search is over. I have been scouting local salons (looking at the people coming out) trying to find one that I thought had what I was looking for. I made an appointment and went in today. John at 'Saint Salon' in Santa Monica did EXACTLY what I wanted. I am so happy with my hair now. It looks healthy and natural. I am so relieved, and happy. I plan on doing a practice round or two between now and the wedding to be sure I find the right style for my dress and head dressing. I have full confidence that it is all going to be okay now.

Next up, music. We are working on finding a harpist for the ceremony and a band and/or DJ for the reception. Other than that all we need ot book is the photographer. We are getting there!
