Well, I have been talking about it for almost a year or more now. With the finishing of my 500hr yoga teacher training, I decided it was time. Plus, it coincides with my 41st birthday and time for me to start living up the midlife crisis period, right?
There are not many hair stylists I would trust to do this to my hair, but Waleed is my man. I have been going to him since I first arrived with a few trial separations over the years. However, we are now reunited and I am loyal. He has treated me very well and been patient with my usual conservative requests.
When I went in over a year and a half ago asking for a lasting perm, he stepped up. The perm still lingers!
So, when I went in with a picture from Pinterest:
he said nothing is impossible and got to work!
-
- First we gotta bleach it…
-
- Lots of metal…
-
- It’s been bleached!
-
- Hombre blond??
-
- Now, he’s going for the purple
-
- Waiting for the purple to soak in…
It took about three hours to get it to this:
Pretty!!!! π
Even a few hours later, I was giddy with it:
Who knows how long it will last, but it was fun to do something a bit “wild and crazy” for me. It’s an amazing color and also opens the doors to so many possibilities! Maybe I should be a redhead next??? π
