Complete Relaxation and FUN!
It was that time, you know the time when dark roots rear their ugly head and become noticeable to the world. Since I had been working in Mount Washington I decided to change it up a bit and patron one of the local salons. I had met Jennifer at a community meeting and decided to give her salon a shot.
When I called to make my appointment, she was extremely accommodating. A week later I was on my way to Boggs Avenue to address my hideous roots. When I walked in, I was greeted by Jennifer and her cousin who works with her conveniently named Jennifer. There was no wait so I was in the chair immediately. After a bunch of bull-gabbing and enough foil in my hair to pick up satellite television, I was getting my hair washed with the yummiest smelling shampoo. For me, like many others, getting my hair washed is like a Zen experience; all I wanted to do was fall asleep, but I was too excited to see my hair.
After my hair was cut, styled, and dried, I felt like a new woman. My highlights were perfect. Jennifer did an awesome job. The best part was that I had fun. There was no pushing to buy products or other services, just an enjoyable a relaxing few hours of salon peace and happiness.
