I've been back from the Amazon two weeks tomorrow. Being in the heat and humidity there and not having access to all my hair tools & products for a month left me looking like crazy on crack. So today I decided I'd go in for my annual end-of-summer new hairstyle. My first mistake was that I didn't have an appointment- I simply called ahead. When I called to schedule a morning appointment with my usual stylist Abby, I was told that she skipped town never to be heard of again.
"Whaaat...?"
"But we can get you in with our new girl, Tonya."
"....ok," *gulp* "I'll take anyone except Mikki Reaves. She doesn't do well with my hair type."
I think Mikki is the receptionist now. Oops. Long silence...
"Tonya can see you at 2:30," the voice on the other line finally said.
Well, I walked in looking like Sarah-Jessica Parker with hair half-way down my back and I walked out looking like Patty Duke. Below is a picture of my new 'do as good as it'll ever get.
Life lesson learned: When you lose your regular stylist just buy a faux pony-tail, some Aqua Net, and a large floppy hat because ultimately you'll still look better than how you would after a new stylist gets her paws on you.
