Yesterday was the first time I’ve ever had my hair professionally colored (I had balayage done). Sure, I effed around (and found out – boy did I find out) in high school, but I hadn’t messed with my hair color since then. I mean, obviously:
I won’t bore you with the process or details, but I will say I had a great experience and love love loved my new stylist*, who worked out a plan with me to grow my hair out.
And I’m really just coming here to say – I left feeling like a million bucks. Like a new version of Kim. And I loved it. I felt so pretty. I… am not someone who feels pretty often. Cute? Sure. Pretty? Nah.
The stylist asked why I decided to have my hair dyed now, after all this time of never trying it, and I told her about all the physical, mental, and emotional changes I’ve made to take better care of myself this year, and that I decided I wanted some of those physical changes to be appearance-based. Basically, I feel really good, and want to look better. Before I just never gave a sh*t.
It feels good. I really, really, really need to learn how to style my hair though. I want to learn French braids, I still need to take Stephany up on her offer to teach me the curling wand, and really… I just need to watch a lot of YouTube. The problem is I hate watching videos. Maybe I can hire someone to come spend a few hours with me and teach me? Hmm.
*My previous stylist quit, and I didn’t follow them
Beautiful!!! ❤️
Thank you Denise! 😀
You are beautiful inside and out Kim! I love the new hair… way to step out of your comfort zone:)
Thank you so much Kathie!
When you hire someone to teach you those things, let me know. I need all the lessons as well!!
AND! It looks great!
Ha, I will! Thanks!
A subtle change that makes you sparkle!
Aww thanks Amy!
It looks really great! Good for you for making the changes inside and out that are important to you.
Thanks so much!
Shoot, if I were still local I would show you some of those things! I’ve watched all the YouTube videos so you don’t have to haha 🙂
I love the way the balayage brightened up your color!!
Damn. Come back?!?!?!
Thank you!
It looks SO GOOD, Kim! I am so proud of you for taking the leap and doing something fun with your hair.
I am always available for some Facetime calls to learn how to French braid/curl your hair. It becomes really fun to play around with different hairstyles once you get the hang of it!
Thank you so much!
And thanks for offering that! I would like to take you up on it, but feel like I should practice first so I don’t completely waste your time, right?
I love it. You look beautiful!
Thanks so much San!
