Yes I know the phrase just looks and sounds wrong. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying guys are unkept beasts. It's just odd to see them in a Beauty Salon. Much less teenage boys. That is really the topic of the day. I went in on Monday to get my hair foiled and cut. About half-way through my 2 1/2 hour beautification process, a teenage gal walks in, followed by two teenage boys. At this point they are rather quiet, they stay for a few minutes, then after the object of their affection starts getting her hair attended to, they leave.
They come back maybe 30 minutes later, with food no less. And commence the process of "hanging out". As if they were at home with the football game on. And since they have had 30 minutes to bask in each others testosterone fest unsupervised by female influence, they are more vocal. And not in a particularly intelligent way.
Rose, who is cutting my hair by now, and I are joking about how dedicated they are to this young thing to stay in a beauty salon and watch her hair be frosted, when the guys sit in the dryer chairs. They are absolutely amazed by this contraption. You would think it was going to start flipping burgers and serve them drinks while they sat there. Comments of "Whoa this is weird" and "what does this thing do" can be heard from the other side of the wall.
At this point in time they realize that they can turn the dryers on and flip the headpiece down. So of course they do so. And then sit under it. Again, more comments. "This is kinda warm" and "Does this blonde my hair?". At this point I am really hoping I have more to look forward to with my two boys than this, lol.
My hair is now finished and looking uber chic if I do say so myself. And thankfully I can now spare my remaining brain cells the "girl impressing" conversation. There are just some things that happen during the day that you're brain sits there open-mouthed unable to process. And this was one of them. Mental drooling ftw.

On another note I do have to share what happened with my hair. You already know I got it foiled and cut. I also decided in the middle of all this that I wanted some blue streaks in my bangs. Which I got and really loved. The next day however when I took my shower some of my blue bled onto the neighoring blonde strands and made them a lovely turquoise. Who would have thought?! But that's not all. This morning when I washed my hair, I pulled my hands out to rinse only to discover blue suds on them. Oh boy. I continue with my rinse, condition, rinse. Get out of the shower as quick as possible to asess the damage. As it starts drying I can see that I have some blonde, lots of turquoise and the original 2 blue streaks in my bangs. Hmm. Now what do I do?
I rolled with it. Dry and style as usual. I'll stop by the hair salon and see what they say later. For now I kind of like the turquoise, it's interesting. And I'm all about interesting. Take the kids to the bus stop. Where my neighbor comments on the turquoise. Oh! I'm not the only one who likes it, eh? Nice! Take my husband to work, then go to my kids school to drop off a letter to the office where all the ladies in the office huddle around me wanting to know what I did to my hair. They like it too! At this point I comment that I was thinking of getting another blue streak on the left side to even it out, but they think it's good this way, lol. I'll just file this hair mis-hap under "Happy Mistake". Lol! Maybe I'll add a picture later to show off my turquoise hair some more, hehehe.
