Little Changes

    Do you love going to the hair dresser? I do! In the past I really didn't. I have thick, half curly half straight hair and I ended up with a lot of bad hair cuts through my younger years. I also didn't know how to style my hair ~ a blow dryer caused a disaster of dramatic proportions and there was no such thing as a hair straightener. My curling iron took way to long to do anything of value and as a result all through highschool I wore my hair in a style that apparently looked like I used an egg beater to achieve the look. I was and still am a very low maintenance lady. I have one daughter who seems to be following in my footsteps and one who is quite opposite and reminds me more of one of my sisters.

   The right hair dresser though can change your life. When I got cancer in my early twenties I was blessed to have a hair dresser who ministered to my soul in such kind and tender ways. She had lost her husband to cancer at a young age and she was so compassionate to me. I got many amazing hair cuts from her. She was one of the first people to ever give me a 'good' hair cut. There was also the hair cut I got on Robson Street that cost a fortune but it was the first time I ever saw my hair straightened and what a game changer THAT was!!!

   I am writing about this because just recently my seven year old got her first hair dresser hair cut. She was SO excited and it reminded me of how I felt when I was little going for hair cuts. She really REALLY wanted to look like a boy when all was said and done and I had forewarned the hair dresser about it and told her to come up with a cut that still let her look girly and cute BUT to achieve the feeling she wanted; and she totally pulled it off. My twelve year old also got her hair cut and she also was so excited about the experience. I thought I'd post their before and after photos because they are cute.

  I hope you have a good hair dresser who, when you go to her, makes you feel like you matter and that when you leave your shoulders are a bit straighter and your eyes just that much brighter. You deserve it!
