How're you feeling Cash? Are the shingles under control?
The rash is healing nicely. Still pretty ugly and there is still some pain--but not enough to keep me from travel.
Did you get a perfect pixie cut? Update me!
Sadly, not the perfect pixie. Disconnect with the stylist. I said "I want a Natalie Portman/Winona Ryder modified, punkish pixie cut." When she was explaining how she wanted to color it she said, "when you flip it out..." Um, no. No flipping with a short pixie. Then she said, "Oh, you want a mumble mumble forward bob!" WTF? At this point, I told her I wanted it short. I didn't have the length I wanted for a bob (a la Posh).
But seeing how I screwed up my online scheduling, I actually didn't have an appointment and they got me in with this woman at the last minute due to my desperate look and I went with what she gave me.
The end result is a short, short bob (my nape is bare). A tad longer in the front and the bangs look nice. There is a lot of texture and the color is fantastic (light brown with nice, golden blonde highlights), so I'm willing to overlook the miscommunication.
With product, an eyebrow wax and the color with cut + tips: $201. I still wish I could find a stylist that knows pixie=pixie.
Did you go to Penzone, Cash? That joint makes me feel out-of-place.

Kenneth's, which is the poor man's Penzone. I've been to Penzone--which also gives me the heeby jeebies.
Happy travels, Cash! I hope it's an awesome weekend -- you deserve it.
So, your stylist hadn't heard of a pixie cut?
Weird.
(Edited to correct your.)

Maybe she just doesn't care for the pixie. Some stylists think that the client doesn't know what they want and that a pixie will be too short and the client will cry and complain if they cut it that short. During the coloring process I showed her a picture of Selma Blair's new pixie and said, "See, this!" At that point I was fighting a losing battle.
I haven't tried Kenneth's, but I only ever went to Penzone because I got a gift card. My hair's one good layering away from having no style at all, so throwing around the big girl fashion words and talking about "product" makes me just feel dumb.
Penzone did give me a free cut when I donated to Locks of Love, though...
Hi.
Jetlag. No full sentences.
Welcome home, Hil. I hope you had a great trip. Did you bring us presents? (And by presents, I mean pictures.)
