Amazing What Highlights Can Do For a Girl!

I didn't start to highlight my hair until my late 20's early 30's. Once I did I began to look around and realized how MANY women color their hair in some sort of fashion. Before that it never dawned on me. I LOVE getting highlights and it is amazing how good I feel when I get my hair done!

As I age I notice that my hair is flat without the chemical change from highlights. It has been since October that I had my last appointment and I had gone just a little too long without having my hair done. I was dying to get in for a cut and color! I showed up and my hair guy (who is on time, keeps his appts., etc.) said, "Didn't you cancel your appointment?" I wanted to say, "Does my hair look like I'd want to even think about canceling my appt.?" Apparently someone had erased my name and scheduled someone else in my place. Luckily Bret was done with his previous client and could get me going before the replacement girl came in. He is a great guy and very good at what he does!

When I was done I felt like a new woman! I felt young again! I went home and asked Jason what he thought and he said he really coulndn't tell a difference. What??? He couldn't tell? Granted, when I color my hair I don't go from black to platinum blonde, but couldn't he see that my roots were no longer flat? That my hair now shone rather than looking dead and lifeless? Couldn't he see it in my face that I was now 10 years younger, at least until it grew out again? :)

Oh, well. I could tell. I could see the fluff back in my hair, which put a bounce back in my step and that is what mattered. It was worth EVERY penny spent!! Even if you can't tell, humor me and tell me how fluffy it looks! ;)

Your hair looks great. Sam never notices when I get my hair done except when I went completely dark. But I'm with you--it makes such a huge difference and my hair actually has body when I have highlights.

You've inspired me to make that appt. and get my hair done--it's in the before stage and it's driving me crazy and makes me feel older and uglier...etc. You look beautiful-before and after highlights of course!
