I was at the hairdresser last week. He was late coming in, so his assistant coloured my hair. I told her about the estate sale in my neighbourhood that I visited recently where I got a wheelbarrow for a couple of dollars. She told me she loved garage sales. In fact, she bought this sealed box of high quality pyrex dishes for $20 at one time. She ended up giving it to a friend for a wedding gift. The funny thing is, the friend loved the dishes and asked her where she got them. She had to tell her that she forgot where she bought them. We laughed at the 'little white lie'. Most importantly, the dishes were loved!
So then, the esthetician came over to us, bringing me a cup of coffee. The assistant thought she had not made it the way I like it, but indeed she had put 'just milk'. I was surprised that she knew how I liked my coffee and I mentioned how lovely her hair was looking that day. She told me the assistant had done her hair. When the esthetician left, the assistant confided to me that it was in fact a wig!
The assistant had also been busy with another customer and quickly washed my hair before she had to attend to the other person. The hairdresser came in just in time to cut my hair. While he was cutting, the assistant came over and put mousse in my hair asking if I felt all the grey had been covered.
I left feeling very pampered that day!

Sounds like a luxury pampering session, with a little bit of chat and gossip thrown in, just right! Glad you enjoyed it, hugs, Valerie
Heh :) Great story. You just have to accept that you are getting spoiled in order to enjoy it! No qualms about it. I hope the assistant got your hair colored right. Have a great week.
I don't get to the hairdresser much but I can say my experience is never really like that. That sounds like one nice barber. I also haven't seen a garage sale in a long time. Over here everyone just combines all their garage sales into one large car boot sale.
Sounds like a lovely time. It's nice to be pampered once in awhile!
It's been a long time since I've been to a hairdresser who had shampooers. Years, I think! I always go to these small shops where the stylist has to do the shampooing herself. My hairstylist I had in my 20s (who moved to California and was the subject of episode #1, season 1 of Tabitha's Salon Takeover) has just moved back to where we just moved. So I think I'm going back to her! So exciting...catching up after not seeing her for 10 years. I don't think I'm going to mention the reality show, though...that didn't go well for her.
It sounds wonderful! I dye my own hair and my mother's too... I found some gentle products that I like a lot. I'm glad you had such a nice experience!
Yes, you were very well pampered. Way to go!
Sounds like a fun visit and a relaxing too.
