The last time I’d gotten my hair done was at the end of October, just before I went home for my holiday. Earlier this month I noted it was looking a lot greyer than it has in close to a year and I decided it might be good to get it done before my birthday. I managed to squeeze in an appointment the Tuesday beforehand and I went to the hair salon in our closest shopping center. This place is run by the same person who runs the place I’ve gone the last few times and the pricing is pretty much the same but it’s a smaller shop.

This time I got the actual owner of the place and when I asked to get my hair colour in purple, she didn’t give me any fuss. This is different than the two male hairdressers I’d been to at the other shop. The first one steered me away from purple for some reason. The second one seemed to think it wasn’t a good idea and pushed for me to just stick to the colour I already had. So I guess this was progress in the end.

The hairdresser was quite friendly and she did her work in a reasonable time. I didn’t have my glasses on while she was working so I really couldn’t see the colour until the very end. She kept telling me it would look more purple once it dried but I really couldn’t see it enough to judge a colour. Anyway it came out darker than it’s been and the purple isn’t terribly obvious but it is visible, especially when in the sun and good light. And again it makes me look a lot younger than my 53 years. I think the ridding of the grey is the big part of it. I really like this colour and plan to get a touch up before we go on our trip to Thailand in May to keep the roots looking decent. The colour also seems to  match my glasses frames so I think it works out. Too bad I didn’t get her to do my eyebrows…lol.
