on the road to blonde

Posted By on November 26, 2009 in photography, Thoughts and Feelings | 11 comments

I woke up today with one clear thought.

And lately I’ve been inundated with many many questions, so this divergence was a relief.
The thought?
Gonna go blonde.
And so I called up a nearby Aveda salon and asked when they could take me. One o’clock came quickly and I walked in with my dark hair.
You really wanna go blonde? the salon owner asked, With those eyes?

Yep, I said with determination, I need a change.

And more of a change than the five pounds I’ve lost in the last week.
Well I can’t guarantee that you will walk out of here platinum blonde today, he told me, But we can start.
And I appreciate a straight shooter.
Four and a half hours and a few varying shades of red later, this is how I walked out.
And I like it.
But it’s a two-part process. I am going back on Tuesday and we’re gonna make this hair blonde, darn it.
But for now it’s a change, and I’ll take it.
The owner also told me that he was wrong about my eyes; apparently they work with lighter hair also, is what he indicated.
Yep, I see just fine no matter what color my hair is.

    I like the red, Jess! I guess it's no surprise that I would like that color, but it does look good on you. We can't change everything, but we can change the hair…it may not be a big thing, but it can perk you up.
