Yesterday, Friday, I had plans at the hair salon. Now, going to get my hair done is always an adventure. My hairdresser, Jenny, owns her own salon. She is quite a personality ... and lots of fun! Her shop is called Classic Look. The website is there, but not full service yet, so to speak. Well, during my last cut & color, Jenny and I were chatting, and I mentioned my new-ish hobby of photography. In case you haven't seen it, I have a photography portfolio online with a website called Photo.net. Please visit my portfolio (scroll to the section that says "Folders").
Anyway, several weeks ago, Jenny called me and told me that she remembered my comment about the photography, and would I make an appointment with her to come in and take some pictures. She was going to hire a model and have me take some "before and after" shots of "updo's" to put on the website that is being developed for her business. Not a problem. So we decided that I would come in on July 2 (yesterday) at 10:30 a.m. and that I would get my own hair cut and colored at 12:30 ... plenty of time for us to get some pictures of the updo's. Yup.
So, yesterday I go to Classic Look with my camera and tripod and film at 10:30. Jenny was apologetic and explained that the model called and told her that she had strep throat (I think that was it...) and cancelled at the last moment. But ... true to her personality ... Jenny had a quick and fun solution. Yes, Jenny decided to use LOU ANN's long hair for the updo's. Now, my first reaction was "How do I take pictures of me!?" But I realized that I have a remote shutter release. That would work.
SOOOOooooo ... Jenny colored my hair first, trimmed it, and then started with the updo's. I think that she must have done 4 or 5 updo's on my hair ... with all of the hairspray, pins, and decorations to boot. And then, after she did the second last one, she decided to wash my hair again (to get rid of all of that hairspray!) and did one last updo for me to wear for the rest of the day.
Two funny sub-anecdotes: (1) One of the updo's was to be a wedding "do". She put my hair up, and then stuck little white flowers all up in my hair (I chose those particular words on purpose). Now, I'm sure that the up-do was a wonderful one, as far as up-do's go. And, I'm sure that some women want little white flowers all stuck up in their hair. But I can tell you, for sure, that when I get married some day, I will NOT have little white flowers all up in my hair. And, (2) at one point, she decided that she wanted to have an image of one of her employees doing my eyebrows (they do that at that shop). Well, I usually "do" my own eyebrows at home. But, they took me upstairs to the day-spa and pretended to "do" my eyebrows (threading) for the camera.
Therefore, when the pictures have been posted to her website, I may ("MAY" is NOT a guarantee!) remind you to take a look at the pictures of me. With updo's. Hah!!
