Ah the wonder of a GREAT haircut. There is almost nothing that makes me as happy as getting my hair cut. Chopping off that extra, dead, unnecessary half inch just puts a big smile on my face. What puts an even bigger smile on my face? The five minute shampoo/conditioner scalp massage. I swear the girl who shampooed me yesterday must have thought I was a wacko-- I smiled and giggled the whole time and I'm sure I let out an "ahh" or "ohh" or two. I have a habit of massaging Nate's scalp or playing with his hair and I was not sure where I got that from until yesterday when I put two and two together and realized how into my shampoo I was.
I love going to my hairdresser K at James Joseph Studio in Medford. We used to slave over gallons and gallons of "ban-ee-jah" (vanilla) and "room pasa" (rum raisin) ice cream at the forever classy Findeisen's Ice Cream. K knows whats up. Its fun to get your hair cut by someone you know, but don't really know. K and I were 4 years apart in high school, but knew a lot of the same people. We like to chat about who got pregnant, who is dating who, and any other gossip we can wrap our brains around. The City known as the Town of Methuen is smaller than we think... Anywho, K starts our day off with "What are we doing today?" I give her -the look- and say "the usual. Make me hot." And she knows exactly what to do and gets to work with her magical scissors and razor and secret goop.
You know you have a good hairdresser when she is able to take you from this:

| I ran out of conditioner two months ago. |
By doing this:

| Wonder Woman at hard at work |
And you leave the salon looking like this:

| oh HEYYYYY girl |
Whats my hair plan for the long run? Cut a half inch off every couple of months and get it long enough to donate to Locks of Love. I donated hair in high school and I want to do it again. The world needs more gingers roaming around!
life is good :)
