Girly Stuff

Being away from my usual hairdresser back in Utah-my mom-I had to find a new one for my summer in Colorado. Lucky for me, I had my girlies! A gal in our ward worked at a salon in Boulder, so I made the drive up there and she gave me this cute cut for a very good discount. I was very appreciative to have found her and to be given such an amazing deal to go with my new amazing cut! It was refreshing to have a change, but I was hungry for even more and so were some of the other wives, so we made a day of coloring our hair.

We drove to our local Sally’s Beauty Supply to pick out our colors and then all went back to Alyssa’s to apply it. I got a deep red base color and a blonde highlighting kit, Julie got a blonde coloring kit and Alyssa got a red color kit. I colored Alyssa’s and Alyssa did mine and Julie’s. Let me tell you, that apartment was rank with those oh-so-lovely chemical smells. I am not so sure her hubby was a huge fan of that fact upon arriving home that night, but Alyssa looked fabulous with her new color and I am sure that helped ease the pain. Alyssa and I LOVED our new colors, even if I did have to give mine a second go,but Julie’s turned out a bit more orange than blonde and she ended up just coloring it back brown.

Before, coloring my hair burgundy, and then highlighting it.

Letting the highlights set in and the finished project!

I LOVED my hair! Alyssa did such an incredible job! It would have cost me about $100 to have all that done in a salon and honestly, it could not have turned out any better. It was a great day full of girly pampering, visiting, giggling, and fun!
