Phew! The nervous anxiety that I had leading up to my first hair appointment in a year is GONE! I went to the Serendipity Salon in Ann Arbor, Michigan. And they were totally LHC-friendly.
My stylist was in throes over my hair and the condition of it. She was awed of my knowledge of oiling, co-washing, detangling, and updos. She said I had one of the most unique heads of hair she'd ever seen, she said, and I quote: "I can't really describe it, it's thick and coarse and blond. It's like you have blond Asian hair." What a funny and appreciated compliment! Her and the other stylist there were petting me for a good 5 minutes; they were astonished that my hair color was all natural with no added highlights (they thought for sure I had done something to get them) I told them no, I'd just spent the weekend outside in the sunshine. :)
She trimmed me up neat (apparently, in my year of self-trimming, I'd let one side of my hair get an inch longer than the other!) and was really vying to attempt to get my hair to wave. I told her "Give it all you got, because this hair won't do it for me".
Well, one rinse, pinch, olive oil with leave in, and 45 minute cool dryer session later. I was left with random stick-outs at the crown and kinky oily crunchy ends. I like of looked like I slept in a compost pile. But I warned her :P! Overall I was super happy with my experience and even though the style wasn't great, I'm glad she could play with my hair because I know she was dying to because all the other patrons were dyed-flat-ironed-shoulder-length sorts of folks.
Just thought I'd share!
