I have had some suspect intentional looks. <br /><br /><br />RMW,<br />Ha,ha that reminds me in high school everyone said they would dye their hair a weird color with food coloring for the next day but guess who was the only one who did. My nickname that year was Greenie. At least yours wasn't self inflicted. <br /><br />Sharon,<br />Thank you for stopping by TNS and commenting.

I just have so many cowlicks that unless my hair is long, it goes its own way and I am too lazy for long hair. <br /><br />Terri,<br />Didn't think of that but you are so right.

Time will help. <br /><br />Betty,<br />I feel your pain also. Too bad but she is several hours away. Wonder if she would do house calls and travel. <br /><br />Naomi,<br />Ha, I would have killed for a turban to wear to that luncheon. I don't even have a hat except for a sun bonnet. <br /><br />islandwonder,<br />What a miserable deal you got. She must have had a hidden agenda. Maybe her boyfriend thought you were cute.

She was taking my place in the house. I agreed. I went from about 8-inches of hair hanging from the top of my crown to 1-inch. It was not a good look. We were in the kitchen without mirrors and when I saw the chunks flying down I knew there was no going back. islandwonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727478242779134189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-46098621182996589322014-04-01T04:44:18.198-05:002014-04-01T04:44:18.198-05:00Well, the end result is Darling!

I have been going to the same hairdresser for many years, but in the past couple of years, he has done a terrible job, and I don't have the guts to quit going to him. I need a haircut now, and dread changing shops, but I think I have to. Is your new hairdresser in my town? If so, would you e-mail his/her name to me? I'm getting desperate. lolBettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309266986583326824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-43188852551738666362014-03-31T21:48:14.961-05:002014-03-31T21:48:14.961-05:00I love the final look, it looks soft and very flat...I love the final look, it looks soft and very flattering.<br /><br />Like you, it was horrid perm.

I thought what the heck. How could I go wrong for eleven bucks... a haircut,shampoo and neck and shoulder massage. When asked by the attractive young lady how I wanted it done I replied as I do locally, "a little on the short side." "A number 2, she ventured tentatively?

The second beautician did a fantastic job though your hair looks great! The last perm I got I said...never again. I came out of the shop looking like you did at the first place. I sure didn't want to go back for more of what I already received so I cut most of it off when I got home. I used a lot of conditioner on what hair I had left when I shampooed and it looked okay until the perm was all gone. That was about 6 years ago and I have not had another perm.

I got her card and she gets all my future haircuts. <br /><br />Peruby,<br />Perms offer the greatest possibilities for a disaster. Lucky you having a regular. Mine kept getting pregnant so I started doing it myself.<br /><br />Grannie Annie,<br />I came close to joining the bald club and if my hair keeps thinning, I'll be there. Love the idea of wigs. <br /><br />Djan,<br />Thank you, the comparison was impressive. I just didn't have the heart to scare everyone. Ouch. I hate when they experiment on us and call it the new "in" thing. <br /><br />Manzi,<br />Thanks so much. I am getting use to it. Think in a few weeks, I'll be happier. Green and orange are my favorite colors. <br /><br />Marty,<br />Thanks so much. Ha, I wish this gal had a regular over sixty approach. She was a 20 something and I am not sure she did too many seniors. <br /><br />Joey,<br />I love your vastly different haircuts at least the ones you showed us.. You have the courage to try new stuff.<br /><br />Linda W.<br />Oh my gosh, why is it that they mess up the most when we have to go some where. At least you had their undivided attention:))<br /><br />Betsy,<br />Ah but your hair looks so good straight and it must be easy to care for on all the hiking trips you do.<br /><br />Keith,<br />Thanks so much. It felt like it at times:)) <br /><br />Cheryl,<br />It really felt like it was moving--up and out. Creepy!! I have always permed my hair. Just like my curls or at least a bend in the hair for mine is poker straight otherwise.<br /><br />Stephen,<br />Oh my, I can just picture that. Yikes. Hope your hair grew quickly.<br /><br />Olga,<br />But you can pull off the nature girl and look at all those nasty chemicals you are missing. Stay that course. <br /><br />robin,<br />Ha ha, you are so right. A little off is never just a little. My dad always said that you pay a barber for what he leaves on, not what he cuts off. <br /><br />Inger,<br />I am so glad I tickled you for that was my goal. Some things you just have to find the humor in. Thanks about the hair color but I am two toned. From my ears back, I am mouse grey. Have no idea why. <br />Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-49093347119873987662014-03-31T13:22:50.727-05:002014-03-31T13:22:50.727-05:00It's such a good thing when you can make so mu...It's such a good thing when you can make so much fun of a sort of disaster.

And yes I have had a few bad beautician incidents but one that comes to mind is when I was to give the sermon along with the teens for youth Sunday. The night before I went in for a trim and "maybe" a color change. When this "person" was finished with my color I looked like my calico tortoise shell cat, orange, black, brown and white. Oh well, I knew no one would be listening but they all stared real well. Oma LindaOmaLindasOldeBaggsandStuftShirtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09589622524456973822noreply@blogger.com
