Not a Core Competency
It's been one of those weeks where nothing I wear is quite right, which especially pisses me off bc everything is going so well underneath.
Tues, every time I saw my outfit, I cringed and thanked G-d that the Go Fug Yourself girls would never see it. Urgh, what was I thinking when I got dressed. (ed- you were thinking you were late for work. K- Bah!)
I think a haircut would really really help. Now that I have eleventy-seven mirrors in my bathroom, I can see that my hair really is plotting a revolt on the back of my head. Mind you, washing it every day and wearing it in pony tails once a day, most days, is probably not helping. I'm not sure anymore which is a more important feature of a haircut - low maintenance or looks good. When you're as unskilled at beauty stuff as I, good looking haircuts deteriorate fast.
Anyone want to share their secret for finding a new hairperson at a new hairplace? I can't go to the Hair God anymore - while I walk out of every haircut relaxed and calm, it's not freakin' yoga class and I still have to deal with 6 weeks of irritating hair bc he didn't believe me when I said my hair texture can't handle that cut. Also, the haircut from last May still makes me cringe when I think about it.
Before the Hair God, I saw a gal at Jean Claude Biguine that my mum had found, but she left on permanent maternity leave. Everytime I went there and didn't have that one gal, I ended up regretting it.
Unless y'all have a different suggestion, I think my four options are Vidal Sassoon, Bumble & Bumble, Warren-Tricomi, or Jean Louis David. I was pleased with that one cut at Vidal Sassoon but it's muy expensive, they're weird, it takes too long, and their hours are inconvenient. On the plus side, it's near my office and will look good, although explaining that I'm hair skill challenged may take work. Bumble & Bumble and Warren-Tricomi are both as expensive and good - the former is famously good, the latter is near the office.
Jean Louis David is about half the price of the above 3 and it's very near my office. Right now, I'm not sure there's much that can be done with my hair - I think I ought to grow it out - except trim it and give it a serious blow drying that will tell it who's boss, which doesn't require a crazy skilled person, but someone who'll listen and not cut it too short. Linda Grant posed a theory in her blog recently that I read as, People who suck at doing their hair should budget to let a pro do it like every week or two. So, what do I ask them to find a person who can cut my hair well?
And now to find a skirt to wear today, in this season's campaign to convince my cow orkers I'm not a lesbian.
