I've so been in that place before. It was NOT pretty.
See, I've never been in that place. I've been in "I will never, ever, ever go to a salon to get my hair colored again." place, however.
(I've never had a happy salon color experience.)
It's a real burden being right so often.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2004: Well, I Wasn't Expecting That.
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Well, I'd been reading about so many Buffistas coloring their hair, and the pictures always looked so pretty. And it was after Christmas and I had a week before I had to go back to work and there was this dye ... said it'd wash out in 6 to 12 shampoos. Two weeks later ... it's still there. It's been described as mauve, burgundy (where it's dark), and pink (where it's light).
Nope. Never again.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Resolution for 2005 - I will never, ever, ever, color my hair myself again. Never. Ever. Really.
Toddson! Your hair is so gorgeous. Why would you go coloring it anyway?

Toddson, call salons and ask if they have someone who does "corrective color." They'll fix you up.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yup. Except for the monstrously expensive guy who did my hair for my wedding, every salon dye job I've ever had has been an unqualified disaster. My hair is not safe in other people's hands.

Thanks for the compliment and advice - it's growing out, I'm getting my hair cut Saturday which will get rid of most of it (my hair grows fast). But I do learn ... this was just kind of embarrassing.
As to why? well ... all the other kids are doing it!

Okay, I'm somewhat mollified by this. Though I should note that several times during the DC F2F I had to remind myself that petting your hair would be socially forward, not to mention inappropriate on my honeymoon.

What is even happening?

My hair is not safe in other people's hands.See this is why I stick with Denise, even through the cuts where we haven't communicated well with each other. Her cuts are always good, even when they're not what I thought I asked for, and she is a fantastic colorist.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I colored my hair once. The result was less than pleasing. Unless hair the color of old brass is pleasing. (Hint: not on me, it ain't.) My stylist forgave me and cut off about 4 inches of the offending color, and told me to never try that again. I haven't.
