So I went to a salon recommended by a friend called Salon 5150 here in my hometown. I was too nervous so I barely slept and arrived 20 minutes early. I walked in about 10 minutes early and was greeted by both the receptionist and my stylist for the day, Brittney. She was super nice and we chatted a lot, but we also had some lengthy silences while she worked. Most who know me understand I'm not the best at small talk or speaking at all to those I don't know so it ended up being a perfect mix for me.
Apparently they give mini scalp massages while they wash your hair as well? Crazy...awesome. It felt like forever but I ended leaving about 11:20 when I walked in at 9:50. Not bad considering all the work she did.
It was weird. I know I have a lot of hair. But it's thin, fine, and naturally stick straight. She was the first person ever to call my hair thick in my entire life. And he joked that she could go on thinning it forever.
So I walked out feeling slightly off-balance but pretty confident. I came home ad waited for my mom to come home and to just see all of the comments I would get. I had prepared myself for weeks so I had an idea of what was coming.
My brother: Oh you decided you wanted to look like a boy? No stealing my suits now!
My mom's hurt me the most of all today though.
Mom: Hey boy girl
Me: -__-
Mom: I mean girl boy
Me: you don't have to be mean about it
Mom: I mean girly boy?
Me: ok now you're just being hurtful
Mom: no, i was being funny, you're just turning everything around
But later when I came home after the super bowl party I took my brother to at our hookah bar (and largely ignored) she told me that after watching me play with it and be animated, she feels that it actually suits my personality very well and is super cute. But I don't know what is the truth and what is a platitude.
Bad comments today:
Did you fall asleep next to a lawn mower?
Who's going to fuck you now?
You now look like the world's best mom (that one I have no idea what he meant by it, but no single, 23 yr old without children wants to be told that. Specially when you'd love to be married with kids, so that's more my own inner sadness mixed with the slight dig)
But everyone else said they loved it. My bestie said she was surprised on how it exceeded her expectations and looked better than she imagined. My cousin's husband said he wanted her to get my haircut he loved it so much.
So yeah, I still not used to it. One minute I love it, the next I feel like a pin head. But it has only been the first day. And the wildest hair cut I've ever done. Here's hoping my boss doesn't hate it hahaha.
