No more gray hair!

I'm finally getting around to writing about my salon visit. I've been hanging with the fam at my family reunion all weekend but I'm back! And I have color in my hair!

I arrived at Michelle Patrick Salon right on time for my appointment. I was greeted warmly by the salon owner and receptionist, offered a drink, and given an info sheet to fill out. My stylist was finishing up his previous client so I sat in the waiting area and observed. The salon was very cute -- it is located in a remodeled house -- so that was very different but I liked it. The clientele was definitely very young and hip. It is also a multicultural salon, so there were all different ethnicities, which was cool.

The previous client came out when she was done with our stylist, and after he told me he would be right with me after he checked the client out, the client complimented my hair! She said that she was thinking about going natural and mine was really cute.

Anyway, after my stylist was done with her, he took me to the "color bar" where we discussed what I was looking for. I told him I just wanted to give my hair some texture and some "pop." Nothing too crazy or dramatic since I still have to go work for The Man every day. He said he would do an all over dark reddish brown with some reddish blonde highlights in the front. He asked me if I wanted it straightened, and I thought I did, but I chickened out and just ended up getting a twist out. Here is the final result:

I have to say that I love it! It's exactly what I was looking for! I got a ton of compliments on it from my family over the weekend, and I can't wait for my coworkers to see it tomorrow. I really loved MP Salon and my stylist. I definitely have found a new place to go when I need trims or if I ever get brave enough to straighten it.
