My boss and a couple of coworkers all recommended I get my next color / highlights with Diane at Rhiannon's Closet. The problem: I have been going to the same girl for years and I just adore her. In fact, I have left positive reviews for her on Google before. So, I was nervous about going to someone new, it kind of feels like "cheating" on my stylist.
However, their hair looks so good and I needed a change and lift in color so I decided to give it a whirl. I am SO glad that I did!
I drove to Carrollton to find her salon on the fifth floor of the office building. I felt a few butterflies in my stomach as I went up the elevator. The place was very comfortable, with soft music playing in the background, thank goodness because I was getting more nervous as we discussed all the different colors I have tried on my hair in the past few years. My hair is naturally brown, but I have tried purple / red on the bottom, blank on the bottom, highlights all over, you name it I have probably tried it.
I decided to just highlight BLONDE over my brown and red hair. The entire time, we talked about different styles and how to accomplish them. We talked about products and what I should be using and what I shouldn't. She really let me have it flat ironing with daily my Chi. The best part, she didn't expect nor sell any of the products we talked about; she wasn't try to sell me something so she could get a commission. I found it it quite refreshing.
As my hair was being shampooed, she taught me to blot my hair dry and counseled me on properly caring for my highlighted hair. Again, I felt myself getting nervous, as if it was going to be another scary moment where my highlights came out orange. I pushed my stop panic button and listened to what she was saying. I have to say I have never been given so much useful advice.
Then the big reveal: #$%$%^% it looks $$#%$% Awesome! The best my hair has ever looked..blah blah blah, you get the picture. The cut was perfect, and I do mean perfect. My highlights were for the first time blonder than I had ever had them, my hair just looks HAWT! My hubby is pretty picky, but I couldn't wait to come home and show him. He meets me at the door, excited from my call that I am home. The look on his face said it all, I looked hot. He touched it, looked at said a bunch of compliments that I didn't hear then kissed me. The jest of it is, he too thinks it's the best my hair has EVER looked. And yes, I have always spent alot of money on my hair so that was saying alot.
I am feeling so good about the job she did that I knew I had to come home and write this review.
So, I will be uploading new pics very soon, because right now I think the old pics look cruddy compared to the "today" me. read more
