Hair Salons

I love going to the hair salon. I go routinely every 5-6 weeks. I'm a blonde hi-lights girl, and I always get my eyebrows waxed (I can't do the plucking thing - my eyes just tear up and I don't get them all anyway). So, last night was my pre-wedding appointment. Had a color touch-up and eyebrows done (no haircut b/c I need it to be a little longer so they can put it up on Saturday). At any rate, I was there for about an hour and a half. I love the time I spend under the dryer... watching other people and reading gossip magazines...

While I was there last night these two high school girls (going to be freshmen this year) come in, and they both want "new styles" for high school. Now, they are both on the swim team but wanted to get some hi-lights. They stylists basically looked at their hair and told them it wouldn't be a good idea... OK - so they have these pictures of hair styles they want. Both of them are almost the exact same thing they already have, but with like one little layer or something. But these girls were like bouncing off the walls excited about getting their hair cut. Of course they are sporting the belly-baring shirts and the shorts that let their ass stick out the bottom, and flip-flops. It made me feel really old, and it was a big reminder that I'm a "mom" now... I'm going to be that lady that dropped off those girls and picked them back up to take them to some other girls house for a "sleepover" or something... Wow. What an awakening.

Maddy is going to want to wear those clothes... ugh. Hopefully by the time she is a teenager, the style will actually be to wear real clothes again. Sigh.
