Just a little off the bottom...

A friend of mine has a great hair cut but she lives in Oxford, England. I was totally bummed because I coveted the style. I finally told her and she told me that Remi does it here in DC. She gave me his number. I called, made the appointment, and when I sat in his chair, I said that I was not afraid of short, funky hair. I said I wanted it shorter, maybe similar to my friends. Remi, a Frenchman, tossled my hair, thought about it, and then said "Okay, go get washed." I return with wet hair and as I remove my glasses, I say, "Once these are off, I can't see a thing." "AH! It will be a total surprise." Jes......

I watched the hair fell but I knew that he was putting in texture and layers and whatnot. I wasn't worried. I was finally able to put on my glasses and boy, was it a surprise!






Course, now it has been a few hours since it was cut, and I have run my fingers through it several times. I have been staring at the mirror saying to myself, woah that is short. I do like it and after all, hair will grow back.

The best part is that I made Remi's day. He said so. He said a whole day of boring haircuts, that he wishes for just one funky cut a day and I was his funky cut for the day. He was a bit discouraged at achieving this goal, my appointment being 5:00 and all. But his day turned out a-okay. Now for me to just get used to it...
