Well, I did it.

After:
I really liked it when I left the salon but then yesterday afternoon was rough. I got a couple looks of utter disdain from a few family members. A "you look like a lesbian" from a friendly acquaintance and a few other remarks I'd rather not disclose. But I slept well and in return felt a hundred times better this morning. I guess people will always find something snarky to say and I should build a wall in my character that won't leave me very sensitive to it.
