Done! **Updated**

Photo has been removed


My hair has been cut and colored. We skipped the henna for now, as the stylist was unsure how it would take. Apparently, this shop doesn't see many blondes - calico (aka dishwater) or otherwise. I explained my ultimate goal ("Please cover the gray for now, as my wrinkled brow does enough damage in the Old Sector.") She gave me two options: go lighter or darker.

Instead, I opted to let the stylist choose. She opted for slightly darker, and highlighted it with red. She also cut GREAT layers into it, and then curled it with a big ole curling iron. It falls just above my shoulders, and parts on the side.

I also had my eyebrows threaded for the first time ever. Can anyone join me in yelling 'buh-bye!' to wax?! (I had 'em waxed once. My entire forehead swelled up; I looked like a Klingon!)

I believe, after years of "once a year" visits, that I may have found The Place. I cringed at telling Chachi the price tag for all of it, as I have generally spent less than $30 per year on my hair/haircuts. He grinned when I told him, and noted that he averages more than that every few months! *Whew*. I love that guy!

I have taken pictures, but am having a tough time uploading them.

My tech team* is currently working on this, and I should have a photo uploaded soon.

Dude, you look AWESOME! I love the length, the layers and the color is SO FLATTERING. Your eyebrows are also fantastic, and I am sure you are aware of my obsession with such things.

And YAY CHACHI!!!

Looks fan-freakin'-tastic! I wish I could find someone to do threading...but then again, I actually wax my OWN brows...so it's no biggie, I guess...

I have to admit I have no idea what it means to have your eyebrows threaded, but the hair looks awesome! Curl, cut, and color all look very nice! Congrats!

Renn, it looks great!!! I like the idea of goin darker and having red highlights. gIt suits you well, as does the length. I'll bet it takes a lot less time to care for than it used to, huh?

It's really cute. I think you'll like the darker shade. You can throw a rinse on it at home if you want (much easier than lightening at home, IMO). Yay, new hair!

You mean there is another hair do besides a pony tail? I need to get out more.

Seriously, you look great. But I don't know what eyebrow threading is either.

WOW! It looks fantastic! I think going darker is a better option too. I've thought about letting my hair color go back to a shade or two darker, (which is it's natural color) but I like the lighter and people tell me it looks natural. So either they're lying or it looks ok..or they could be afraid of me...ummm..

ANYWAY...I LOVE your new hair do!!!

Wow! What a beautiful color!

I don't know what threading is either, but the brows look lovely.

And just hush about forehead wrinkles. I didn't see any wrinklage! You look awesome.

Good for you with the pamepering! You deserve it!
