i got my hair cut this morning.
this normally wouldn't be a big deal, but i haven't had my hair done since the big event two months ago.
i was torn... do i return to my wonderful hairdresser here in durham, or do i go to the salon in chapel hill where the stylists all watched 'the antonio' at work during the makeover? i really liked what the antonio did to my hair, so i felt like i'd be taking a bit of a risk if i went back to my regular hairdresser; she didn't witness the event.
what to do, what to do...
i finally made my decision based wholly on convenience. i went to my regular salon in downtown durham.
i told erin everything the antonio had done to my hair, and she listened and swore to follow the cut as best she could. but first we had to tackle my hair color... i told her the code (6W) for the dark color they used at the makeover.
she mixed up the color in her back room and when she came back she said, "and i added a squirt of plum to deepen the color."
of course, the first thing she said 20 minutes later as she rinsed my hair was, "ooh, goodness. that plum really jumps out."
eep.
to her credit, though, the cut seems to be in line with what the antonio did. the color i'm still getting used to, though.

as a funny follow-up, erin just called me and asked if my hair was purple. she started to worry that the plum was too strong. i stood in front of the bathroom mirror with the phone in my hand and told her i really didn't think it was. :-)
