Yet another obstacle: Hairdresser said she could perm and color my hair on the same day, which today she did. Problem: I didn't get the stunningly beautiful color she gave me last time. $160.00 later, and I have light, mousy and unshiny red hair instead. Her excuse is that because of the perm, she used a semipermanent gloss in the same shade instead of the harsher dye she used before. My problem with this is I was VERY CLEAR I wanted the same color as last time. If I had to pick between the color and the perm, I would have simply gotten the color. [I'm PAYING a different hairdresser to style it on the day of the wedding anyway.] I'm proud of myself for standing up to this hairdresser, which I have a big problem with. My best friend encouraged me to tell her I was unhappy with her work and supported me while I sent the text. My hairdresser -- I mean EX hairdresser -- knew how important the wedding and the family picture was to me. All she cared about was grabbing the hundred bucks for the perm -- and also conveniently doing so in one shot. I say this because another option would have been perm and wait two weeks to color so that she could use the harsher dye. Anyway, my prayer is maybe I can still find another hairdresser to spray dye the hair or do something to make it more vibrant and red. I called three, but nobody is going to get back to me on Memorial Day. Anyway, I'm never going back to this woman again even though she's been my hairdresser for years. Moreover, I blame myself for trusting her to give me the same color twice when she's given me nothing but inconsistent results before. She's a great cutter, but she's a terrible colorist. She should have adapted the color up a shade or two to compensate for the dye weakness and the peroxide in the perm solution. So that's it: With all the homeless, starving and diseased people in the world, maybe I'm wrong to even ask you to pray for this. It's just that I'm SO disappointed. I'm also very sick and tired of being lied to and ripped off. Life was way better in my day. There's just no real service left and everything that used to be easy just seems to turn into a long, protracted ordeal to get done. I guess I should also pray for an attitude adjustment about the wedding. I mean for one thing, I am not the bride. LOLOL
. For another, it's supposed to be about the joy of seeing my nephew married and being with family and friends. I think I want everything to be perfect so badly that I'm sucking all the fun out of this wedding in advance. Maybe I should just start referring to myself as, "The Fun Terminator." Anyway please pray for this request in Jesus's name. Thank you.
