Last night when I arrived at Salon Ink for my 5:00 appointment, the first thing I noticed was that the front door was unlocked! And, the salon was teeming with busy stylists and happy clients! When I checked in at the front desk, I was greeted by name, and presented with a Drinks Menu! After perusing a long list of tempting choices, I choose red wine (no surprise there). My stylist, Jess, handed me a glass of red wine -- in a stemmed wine glass made out of glass, and gave me a tour of the salon. She then spent a good 5 or 10 minutes discussing what I wanted done (hair trimmed and chunky golden blonde highlights). Jess and her assistant worked together to smoothly and efficiently section off my hair and apply the highlights. As they were working, I told them the short version of my last hair appointment. They were both horrified. Jess was especially shocked that Cindy made me remember the color of each hair section. Personally, I don't think that was the worst part.
When it was time to remove the foils, Rodriguez escorted me into a cozy room with dimmed lights and soft music playing. For the next half hour, Rodriguez applied toner, massaged my scalp, removed the foils, shampooed my hair, applied conditioner and massaged my scalp again. And then he topped off the pampering with a partial face massage, an excellent neck massage and a wonderful shoulder massage. Pure bliss!
As for the results of this visit. Well, I didn't get quite what I expected. Does this look like chunky golden blonde highlights to you?
In any case, the adventure continues, and I will apparently be sporting a different hair color every 2 or 3 months.
