So, I visited a salon for the first time in about three years. I used to have one of my friends trim my ends for me but as I moved 600km south two years ago it got quite tricky and the previous time I had my hair trimmed was in last October - not good as my ends started to look really worn out and even turned into a lighter shade than the rest of my hair.
So I booked an appointment at a salon at my street and got it for the next day, and what a nice experience it was! Granted, they were really ogling at my hair at first and showing it off to other customers which made me feel a bit uncomfortable but also a little bit proud of what I'd achieved length-wise.
So, I told the hairdresser to cut 2cm, to which she replied by actually showing me how much that would be and she even said a "hairdresser's 2cm" is usually a lot more than just 2. I actually gave her permission to cut one more cm after she showed me how little the 2cm would actually be. Oh and she let me sit the whole time! The last time I visited a salon they made me stand up which wasn't too bad, but being able to sit the whole time really made it even more pleasant for me, even if her actually kneeling on the floor next to me made me feel a tad uncomfortable but she kept saying it was alright.
And now my ends look so nice! I never really got the hype of freshly trimmed, nice ends as all I could think of was "but your hair just got shorter!" But now I'm just amazed at how big a difference an inch or so can make and feel really good about my hair :cheese:
