The morning began with my signing up for 4 yoga classes this week at MYC Yoga in downtown Bend for only $20. After the 30 minute walk there, and some help finding it from a local shop worker, I was greeted warmly at the front desk. Turns out it was Claudia, the teacher's, first day teaching there and I was her only student! So I got a wonderful one-on-one session in Vinyasa foundation from a lovely German woman.
Next, I mosied up the street to see what else I could find, and lo and behold, the Tangerine Hair Salon I had read about online was right there. When I asked in the shop about getting an appointment with Chelsea (the hairdresser most recommended online), they went across the street to the Lemon Drop (smaller shop where the original Tangerine used to be) and got her and it turned out I could get in right then and there!
Quick reminder of the hair before:
After a brief consult about what I wanted, and 5 hours of going back and forth between the sink and styling chairs (still not as bad as the day I had the black stripped out, that took 8 hours), I came out like so (no heart attacks, please).
Maybe it was my going through the old family photos of me being strawberry blond when I was 2 that inspired it, plus a wanting to "lighten up" for the summer, and being on vacation, but I felt like it was time for a change. With Chelsea's very capable hands on the job, and her determined patience to do as many steps as the process required to get it right, she pulled the old color out and put the new color and highlights in--I think beautifully!
My final stop of the day was at 900 Wall (as recommended by Chelsea) for "lunch" at 4:30. Had some nice Happy Hour food (fried green beans and chicken gorgonzola pizza), then began the hike back up the hill to go home and crash, exhausted after my big day.
What do you think of my new strawberry blond 'do? And while you're at it, tell me a story about a somewhat drastic hair style change you've done. ☺
I do have a story and it involved 7 processes in less than two weeks.
ReplyDelete(a bad perm, a bad straightening, bleach (twice, to get the red out), blond dyed to tone it down, another to darken it a little, and then finally back to my natural darker brown) Yes, I do have hair on my head still! My hair is able to take some abuse, but this was pushing it. WE still laugh at this little adventure!!
