HOME HAIR
My favorite hair salon is undergoing a remodel, so my stylist offered to come to my house instead. Uh.....what? You want to bleach and cut my hair at my house? Not having much of a choice....... I told her that was OK. I figured it would either be AWKWARD or really CONVENIENT.
She showed up and all went well, until I had to endure the 25 minute rinse/shampoo/condition (x2) ordeal in my own kitchen sink. Not to mention seeing my own hair all over the kitchen floor was a bit odd too (especially considering I had to start cooking right after she left).
So how did my hair turn out? Well...the color is much better than the 'no-toner' approach of the Germans, but the cut seems a bit more 'thinned out' than I wanted. It doesn't look as European/French anymore - SUCK. Oh well.....next time.
Have you ever had this type of service at your house before? It was convenient since I didn't have to drive anywhere, but at the same time - it wasn't convenient because it took longer than normal and I missed out on the whole 'salon' experience. If given the option again - I would say 'skip it' and go to the salon. It's soooo much better!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'll be posting preview photos of my 50's party dresses starting on Monday.

I like the salon experience my haidresser has a seat that massages your back as your are getting your hair wahsed. Oooh how I love that seat.
i'm with you, i'd take the salon experience anyday.
Love your layering tips! I tend to do stuff like this, but I wouldn't have thought to use my tight long sleeve dress under something.
I do my hair at my house all the time!
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow your hair is great! :) and it was a fun post to read ^^ I love your outfit!

How is it you still manage to look tiny with all those clothes on?
i dont like getting my hair done at home, last time the girl didnt even bring a mirror, i had to wash it myself before she got here and i had to hoover up the mess AND it was the same price as it would have been in a salon!!!!
A friend of mine does my hair here in Malta and he doesn't work in a salon as he's more of the "teacher" and travels alot lol. So he comes to our house and does my hair. Its a bit odd but at least I can sit in front of our tv while getting my hair cut and colored in the living room lol. Reminds me, I really need to get my hair done soon!
A gal on our base started cutting hair in her home.. I really LOVE being able to walk down the street and get my hair done. :) She does a fantastic job . . . but I don't think I'd like seeing my hair in my OWN kitchen either. :)
