And what kind of day did you have?
Let me tell you...I have my 20-year class reunion coming up in a couple of weeks and after polling my friends and family - it was decided I should invest in getting my hair colored and highlighted. I wanted some more pizazz, a little more chunky highlight - a declaration of "I'm YOUNG!" to my former classmates. My exact words to my stylist (who, I am here to tell you, shared that she has not had a class reunion yet...) were "not as subtle as usual but not too funky". Um, I came out looking like this...
Wow. I thought I was going to throw up on my gown. I didn't say anything - well, more like I couldn't. My stylist, thankfully, said "wow, these are brighter than you wanted, huh?" I was glad she noticed this on her own (after an excruciatingly long blow dry and cut) - though the blood draining out of my face may have given me away. She was able to work it out but it was a scary hour...I read a book while I waited to see the new results, but I don't think I comprehended a word. I left relieved. That is not typically the feeling I am looking for as I am striding out of the salon, but I'll take it.
I'm pretty sure I will need to get a new hairstylist, or go into therapy for PTSD after each visit.
I have quilting and spinning to report but I must rest after my tumultuous day at the salon.

Eep! I'm gald that it worked out OK in the end. It's never fun to be stressed out about your hair before a big event.
Oh no!!! I'm so glad it worked out in the end at least! Just make sure to get a pretty new outfit for your fabulous self too!!
Scary!! I am glad it all worked out in the end and I hope you feel gorgeous at your reunion!
eeekkk did you really look like that??? Its always nerve racking when you go for something different for an event, glad it turned out ok though.
that's the worst! have fun at your reunion.
i love your quilt soooooo much and now i am onto pink chalk studio. not good:)

Yikes! Sounds like it turned out all right, though. Have fun at the reunion!
Oh NO! That is the worst! I'm so glad to hear she fixed it, though.

You turned into a zebra? That's one hell of a stylist! J/K. Glad it worked out - have fun at your reunion!
:Oh my god, I am so sorry, but seriously that is so funny. Nice picture :)
Been there, done that. Tried not to cry. Another '89'r huh? My class reunion is in a couple of weeks, but I'll be in DC for that night. Other classmates are having an informal gathering the weekend before the actual reunion. I like my hubby's class reunion better....
Glad it turned out ok...was hoping to see you at knitting, but I didn't make it. Have fun at your reunion.
I've actually given up on the salon and started cutting my own hair! (scary at first - but I actually preferred the end result to the past three haircuts I've had)
lol -- glad it worked out! It took me a day or so & many compliments before I was sure about my own hair cut...and a color? That would be way too stressful, lol
oh no! you poor thing, i feel with you. it is such a gamble trying out new hairstyles or colors. i am glad it worked out at the end :)
you are so funny. sorry that you had to go through that, though. ugh.
Eeeek! Glad to hear it worked out. Lets see the new doo:)
