I just got back from my first salon trip in a year. I thought I'd never go back, but when my hair was shoulder length and highlighted between 1997-2007, my stylist did a great job. I love her to death and I consider us to be friends. She did my hair for free many times when I was down and out. I finally decided to have her put lowlights over my remaining 19" of fried, highlighted ends.
Let me just say, I had completely forgotten how ignorant I was about treating my hair gently pre-LHC. And let me just say that I still love this woman to death but my God she towel-rubbed my hair, used a brush, and created and pulled so many damn knots through with brute force that I just sat there feeling the blood drain from my face in horror.
Anyway, she is a coloring genius and has managed to restore my two-tone length back into the dark blond (tawny?) color that is sprouting out of my scalp. And not only that she gave my ends an awesome trim...only taking off 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch, including the layers that have about 2" to go to catch up with the rest.
Of course when I got home I rushed to the bathroom to check my hemline :undecided, and was happy to see that it hangs a little neater, but all in all hangs exactly the same as after I've done a Feye's Self Trim.
I was really happy to see her again but oh man do I feel traumatized right now :scared:.
