At the Hairdresser's

I was at the hairdresser this week.  Being so close to Christmas, I brought him a bottle of wine.  I've been going there for what must be over 30 years  and going there is always like visiting old friends.  It is a 'warm' feeling, especially at Christmastime.  Someone always brings me a nice cup of coffee.  The hairdresser's wife died this year, so he eats out at restaurants now.  He has never cooked or wanted to.  I do know some women who also don't cook.  The esthetician had her eyebrows tattooed on.  It costs about $120.

 It was a bitterly cold day and the drive home was in white out conditions, the weather changed very quickly.  Shoveling snow that night was kind of fun, not to mention good exercise.  Fortunately it was light and powdery.

it is always a precious feeling when you meet your old friends who seem to have some part of you with them which you rediscover when meet them.
hope your friend learn cooking because eating out constantly is harmful .
take care dear and stay warm !

I have decided not to see my hairdresser, because she ruined my hair. She is expensive, too.

Your hairdresser sounds a nice man.
My mom have one too and he is lovely. He is single but cook. But my mom always give him christmas cookies and he loves them.
After my dad passed my mom is with me by a time and we live in the countryside and he comes here because he loves my mom.

I've changed hairdressers like husbands! OK, maybe not, but good for you for having one you like.
I have done zero drawing. I must get down to it!

That was very thoughtful of you, Christine.
This is probably a very hard time for him.
You may have made his Christmas just a little brighter~

Anyone can microwave or put something on a pan though.

Very nice of you, Christine. I'm sure he appreciated it, greatly!

Christine said...

you would think, maybe he is from an older, different generation

Lisabella Russo said...

Christine, you have such a beautiful outlook and way with people. I am glad to know you!

Christine said...

Thanks Lisa!

Would love to see your hairdo! We've moved a couple of times in the past 8 years, so I've had to find a new hairdresser. I do my own hair 99% of the time, but about every 6 months, need a cut and perm. Bout ready for another cut.

I don't think my husband would cook if I were gone...not his thing.

Since I wear lipstick all the time, I have thought it might be nice to have a nice color tattooed on...but then if I live another 20 years...what would an old 95 year old lady look like with bright coral lips....HaHaHa..Guess I'll just keep Revlon in business.

Christine said...

My hairstyle hardly changes Wanda, just a cut and colour every time! Funny about the lips. It would be painful too.

That is a very kind gesture bringing a bottle of wine. And that's a long time to be going to the same hairdresser. You must be very pleased with them. A really good hairdresser is hard to find!

I just returned from my hairdresser. We exchange gifts throughout the year, when we find something we think the other might like. Today I took her a bag of goodies--candy, fancy holiday tissues, and goats milk soap. She gifted me with a large mug and a packet of hot cocoa mix.

I've been going to the same hairdresser since 1982. I follow him wherever he goes, thankfully it is normally only 1/2 hour away from my house.
I'm like you Christine I give my hairdresser and my mechanic a bottle of wine each year.

Christine said...

I thought it was only me so loyal to a hairdresser, thanks for sharing!

The holidays are especially depressing when you're all alone. You've been going to same hairdresser for 30 years? That's loyalty!

Sad that he is without his honey bunny.

That's so lovely you have had the same hairdresser for thirty years.
I'm sure he will enjoy the wine.

All the best Jan

Tattooed eyebrows are the rage here, but I'm too chicken.
