So, anyone who knows me knows that I have worn pretty much the same hairstyle for 20 years, with only one brief period of time with an experiment with a permanent hairstyle most would just as soon forget. I know I would. Well, this was Dad's weekend in Pullman. Dad was visiting son and I was home alone. So, besides the usual weekend activities, I decided to get my hair cut. I know, seems a bit random but it really wasn't. I had been thinking about it for a long time and all of a sudden, it was time. Maybe it was because I saw the transformation in my oldest son's haircut. The reason for his was a much more noble cause than mine, but nevertheless, it was time for me too.
I searched out a salon and found just the right one. This woman was so excited to do this basic makeover, sort of. I really didn't know what I wanted but the funniest thing happened. Before I was going to go to the 10:00 appointment, I happened on the movie "Father of the Bride" on TV. I saw the kind of haircut I wanted on Diane Keaton, Nina, in the movie. So I went online, found some pictures and took them with me.
At the salon I met Angie. She is one of the owners of Salon 52 which she opened two years ago. We talked and decided on what to do and she went to work. I got highlights, color, and a cut. She even threw in an eyebrow color and waxing which I had never heard of. The end result was really just the cut I wanted. While the style is cut with bangs, I can either sweep them to the side or wear them down and it is easy to care for.
Of course, the true test is after you wash and dry your hair yourself, to see if you can get just what you got at the salon and guess what, I can!
Maybe haircuts are a normal part of life for most people, but this was a big deal to me. I realy like it!

Great haircut!!! It has the freshness that I remember in you. It is alive and spunky. You did good and it isn't as short as Kale's.

Mom, You look beautiful. I saw that deep love in your eyes that always reminds me of Grandpa and Grandma.
Cheers, to new looks and beginnings.
Love Kaley Baley
It looks great! I like how you can wear the bangs down, or swept off to the side. I am glad that you did it, you never seem to things like this for yourself, when you really do deserve it!
Love you
