Live blogging from the hairdressers

I am blogging intermittently while having a cut and colour done this morning.

I have a love/hate relationship with gertting my hair done! Here is why :-

I love my hairdresser – she is a great character, always lots of chat, and she has seen me though my 3 pregnancies, illness, followed my husband’s career progression always with a sense of humour, while also sharing her own highs and lows.

I hate getting my hair washed at those basins – I find them so uncomfortable.

I love being able to trust someone implicitly with my hair -although it took her about 10 years to convince me that highlights was the way to go!

I hate the question, especially from a young trendy assistant “going out tonight? Anywhere special?” as I rarely am! And they look a bit confused when I reply “No, just a quiet night in”. You can almost hear them thinking “but it’s Saturday night, you must be quite sad and odd and old”!

I love having time to browse through glossy magazines – a wee bit of ‘me’ time even if it is in a busy salon.

I hate that as a glasses wearer I can’t really see most of what they are doing. When they have finished and produce the mirror to see the back, and I put my glasses back on I am usually more distracted by the front! It is my first time seeing it in focus and it is usually not quite how I imagined it would look. Don’t get me wrong, I usually live it, but there is definitely an element of surprise!!

So how do YOU feel about the hairdressers? Is it just me?
