Lesson #1- Experimenting with new restaurants, music, movies= good idea, experimenting with new Hair Salons= bad idea
In my defense, the website looked reputable and the salon itself look quite upscale
Lesson #2- Although it may seem rude, confirm that your stylist has more than 1 experience with doing hair
As I was well over 50% done with highlights, the woman styling my hair drops in the fact that this is her first day at the salon!! Uh-oh.
Lesson #3- If you think your hair is turning orange, you're probably right
As I sat in the chair, admittedly a bit uneasy after hearing that my stylist was conducting on the job learning on my behalf I observed my bangs as the morphed into an interesting shade of orange. Despite attempts to convince myself that it was the lighting, or the orange painting on the wall, or my imagination, I finally acknowledged that I was beginning to sport a nice shade of tangerine on my head.
I called the stylist over and she assured me that everything was going just fine. To my horror, after my hair was washed, it was in fact orange. The poor woman did everything she could to resolve the situation, but after many attempts my hair became too 'stressed out' (yes, those are the official salon terms) to take any more change. The final resolution was to dye it a darkish brown in an attempt to cover some of the 'warmth' (aka orange/red).
Luckily, I have very supportive people around me- I was only called Cindy Lauper once. Matt spent the following 3 days referring to me as 'ginger'. He also amused himself by taking a picture with me and my 'ginger siblings'!
Consequently, I spent the following 72 hours wearing a hat, and found a salon in town to fix my hair once it had calmed from the stressful experience.
