New Do's

I have been going to the same person for fifteen years to get my hair cut, Joey of Joey's House of Style. Even after I moved to the city, I continued to make the hour drive to see Joey. I have tried at least five different people in the area. I find myself returning to Joey. I didn't like the way the "new" people cut my hair. I even asked one lady to stop. I found it difficult to find someone I trust with my hair. I know it's only hair and it will grow back, but in the interim you have to look like an idiot.

Well, after eight and half years, I believe I have finally found someone I like! She was a referral from a patient. This new girl, Nancy, is and Asian girl. I have a difficult time understanding her but I just need her to cut my hair. While I will miss catching up on the small time gossip with Joey, Nancy is two miles from my home.

When I walked in the door from getting my hair cut, Elena said, "WOW! Mom I really like your hair. It's cool!" I was amazed. I mean she's a preteen and doesn't like my taste of fashion at all. Then, I started to doubt myself. If she likes it, do I look like an idiot? I seriously, like it though.

She wanted to "try her out." I warned her not to be upset, if Nancy screwed up her hair. After all, she's Asian. How many Asian girls do you know with curly hair? Elena loved her new hair style, especially since she straighted it.
