Okay, so today’s blog is nothing more than a rant.  I am so angry that I need to unload.  As you all know, as a mom it is very draining at times.  You put yourself last, making sure that your kids are cared for.  You run around ragged, your clothes filled with food splattered on you, or a kid wiping their nose on you.  You barely have a chance to shave your legs in a given week.  As a result, you let yourself go a bit, and possibly sport the “pony tail look”. 

Twice or three times a year I like to treat myself to highlights in my hair to make myself feel a little better about myself.  Today was that day that comes along so seldom.  I go to the salon wanting to be pampered.  You could tell the girl was a little impatient with my hair type (my hair is very thick) because it takes awhile.  However, I thought…..”Yes, I am sure I am a pain in the butt”.  I told her I wanted some highlights and low lights but that I wanted to be predominantly blonde (which is my natural).  When it was all done I had GREY hair.  I told the girl my concerns and she said “oh no, you just aren’t used to it because its darker than what you usually are”.  I asked the other two hair dressers, “Oh no, it looks good”.  I leave thinking maybe its all in my head, however I still am not feeling happy about the way that I look.  I am especially not happy with the fact that I just paid $150 for grey hair. 

I go home and my husband says “Wow, you look older than me, you definitely have grey in your hair”.  MAN!!!!!  I was so angry.  I was angry at the fact that they screwed up, but I was even more angry that nobody told me the truth when I asked them.  I made it clear I wasn’t happy and I didn’t like it, and they made me feel like it was all in my head.  I guess they just didn’t want the iconvenience of fixing it, but wouldn’t it be better to be honest with your customers than give them false hope?

Now I have to return to them tomorrow to get them to fix it.  I am a little apprehensive because I don’t want to see that hair dresser again.  My regular hair dresser is on maternity leave and my back up hairdresser was too busy.  I really don’t like confrontation but I certainly can’t walk around like this.  I am embarrassed to be seen in public.
