I hadn't gotten my hair cut and colored since early June.....long overdue, and just in time for my 40th Dumont High School reunion tomorrow night. I'm going with Moey, and with Fritch, who is flying up from Florida! We three met in kindergarten at Seltzer School....that sunny corner classroom with nap time, a play kitchen and mischievous little boys [Jimmy F. and Frankie I. come to mind].
After kindergarten, we headed to Saint Mary's School and then back to public school again--Dumont High. [Saint Mary's didn't have kindergarten, so that was at a public school, too.]
The salon appointment definitely drove up my spending.

That’s roughly what I spend on my hair (and comparable tips, good to know), but I do it every 5-6 weeks, since it’s short and pure white at the roots. That’s why I contemplate going natural. But I don’t think I’m prepared to have everyone at first glance assume I’m old.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the reunion!

I spend more, but it's Manhattan. I get color every 6 weeks now (ouch, used to be 9), alternating between half head of highlights and single process for roots. The single process times, I get it cut (so only every 12 weeks for cut). When my colorist retires fully (he's nearly 15 years older than me), I may try nearby Bklyn salon. A smidge cheaper, I think, and around the corner. If I retire before him, I'm gonna try going gray. But acknowledgement to Nan, who knows if I'll be ready right away. Easy to say that now, several years out. But hair. yeah. so expensive. The whole flap with AOC's hair was likes, whatevs.
ReplyDeletenote about my commitment to colorist. He's been doing my hair since I was 24!

ReplyDeleteI’ve followed my stylist for 15 years through 3 salons, so now it’s about 15 miles away. Luckily, he’s younger than me! #loyalty
