Something I love to do is get a haircut. When I want to either let go of something, or start fresh, or try and move forward with something I feel the strange desire to get my hair cut. Depending how drastic my transition is depends on how short I go. However, I always get my hair cut at this one salon back in New Jersey. I never found a place to go to in DC, and I am really iffy about who cuts my hair. I HAD to get it done in Dublin though, it just couldn't wait. I asked a bunch of people where I should get it cut, and one of my friends suggested Toni and Guy. Though after looking up their prices, I had to say no. As a result, I kept my search going. The internet wasn't really helpful so I asked another one of my friends where I should go. He said I could get it done for free at this one salon up by Grafton Street. However, it was only open on Mon - Thurs (it was Friday and frankly I couldn't wait that long) and it is done by students. So again, I wasn't sure what I should do.
The following morning I ended up getting dressed and went walking around looking for salons. I was on grafton street when one caught my eye. It was 20% off, and it was packed. It looked like a really good salon. Of course, I'm terrible with decisions, so I made a phone call and then decided yeah, okay, I'll get it cut here: now. I was able to get fit in a half hour after I went in and I was golden.
Everyone there was really good at what they do, and I giggled a bit when I heard her irish accent and she told me the cut would "be lovely". I'm not sure why some of the things they say make me laugh, they aren't THAT strange.
After being worried about the way she described how my hair would look, she explained the cut to me a second time, and I became okay, even excited, about it. I let her do her magic, and I must say I think she ended up doing a fabulous job; I couldn't be happier. I love the new style and I love the length. I feel a lot lighter now. I guess I should try new salons more often! I'll have to find one in DC next!
