Junk
There's a lot of junk in my trunk.... Well actually I just felt like saying that, but really, trying to pack has made me realize how un-organized I really am. I didint think i was that bad. oh well. Pitter patter right Amay? Thought you might like that.
Today was good. Not great, not bad, but good. Kyle woke up to catch the 7:45 ferry, thus waking me up in the process, and despite feeling tired, my body wasnt going back to sleep. So I got up and went to the gym. Since yesterday's work out was a little more intense for me, my body was feeling it. I dont mind feeling a little sore, its just when its soooo sore that I can hardly function as a human being that it bothers me. I too have a sore neck. Nothing like Laura's losing sleep over it though. I came home, ate, cleaned and packed a little before work. Work was a little slow. One client I had today wasnt happy, and here's why. She comes to the salon often, so she knows a lot of the slylists. I cut her hair the last time she was in and everything was fine. She had complained that the last time she had her hair cut, the layers were way too short. So we agreed that I would just blend the layers in so she could grow out the shortest layer. She was happy with that. This time we were trying to establish what to do, and I was having a hard time understanding what she wanted, partially because she didnt really know herself. An indecisive person. Damien, the stylist next to me, recognized her and came over to say hi. He started talking to her about her hair. He took one look at her ends (which were quite dry, especially on the shortest layers, which I didnt touch last time), so he said the only thing to be worth her while would be to cut off the really dead stuff, because it I only cut a little of it off, it would still be dry, and it would be a waist of a haircut. I admit, I wanted to cut them off too. Its quite satisfing to cut of dead yuckies. She agreed and was like "ok, whatever" So that's what i did. She hated it. The layers were too short, and i could just tell by the way she kept feeling it and examining parts that she did not like it at all. Its weird how sometimes you can just feel when a person's not happy, the negative energy is palpable, right Biffnuckatuck?
So, even though that wasnt really my fault, I always feel a little down when someone doesnt like they're hair. There's no turning back. I just dont have the backbone that Damien has to tell a client how it has to be.
Hair tip: Be nice to you're hair, especially when wet, that's when the hair is most vulnerable and will break easier. Give it a treat this week.
Hair fact:There are only two different colour pigments in hair, red and black, so no matter what you're hair colour is, its a certain combonation of red and black, this means that all hair colour is quite unique. Blondes have a hardly have any pigment at all, and what little they do have is mostly black. Grey hair is hair without pigment. People with really ashy hair have mostly black pigment.
