Family Hair Day

She has that mad cut look in her eyes

 Edward Sizzor Hands was home. And a busy weekend it was, Apron Strings moved , Mimi came over for the weekend to visit with Mama and Ms. Independence is here to cut all our hair. By  last night Mama was so tired I had to wheel her to her room.

It was good to have all the girls together and have some fun.  And not to have Mama ask one more time "Now what day is Heather coming to cut my hair?"

 I asked Mama to kindly smile but really Mama that exaggeration
she did it on purpose after I told her she had a phoney smile. Really Mama Chung go chin. And look at Ms. Mimi being a good little assistant for Heather Anne.

 Look at Mama like Hey we done Little Missy ?

Ahhh Aunt Mimi's turn. And her hair got so long oh Lady Godiva. Do not laugh my brother said we are descendants of Lady Godiva. Who finds this stuff. Damn if I only knew that I could have put it on my resume

 Save the best for last. And now that I have grown out my helmet hair. Look I gave the short hair a good shot and the hair cut Heather Anne gave me was great ...butttttt... Some things even if they say that when you get older you should keep your hair shorter. With me not so much. I can not quite put my finger on what it was. Big Forehead, Age, Wrinkles, Gray Hair, Large forehead. I think the helmet theory was right there. 

 Foxy Lot check out Mama;s spikes. It was super fun and so kind of my baby to be our personal stylist I owe her a package of nummy stuff!

XOXO

so today we went to heathers salon CALM oh first did i tell you yesterday i went into the shower to wash up like what else do you do in the shower so i go to wash my hair and this girl has more products in her shower than carter has pills...now keep in mind i do not have my glasses on and i go to shampoo my hair and get the bottle of shampoo when i dispense it it has a red tone but i thought nothing of it so i shampoo and out of the shower and get my makeup on and go to blow out my hair...ms.independence comes in to give me more product and looks at me with that humm kind of stare and says mommy what shampoo did you use....i say the red one....oh my god that one deposits red into your hair...my hair was deep maroon red and so thus we run to the sinks the whole time she is saying it washes out after a few shampoos but why dont' you use dish washing liquid first then shampoo. while I'm doing the kitten is trying to help me picture below....so we get the hair almost to a pink yet peach shade and go off for the day...that was yesterday now fast forward to today we go to the shop so she can work her magic and do my hair.....I have before and after god bless her she is so kind but let me tell you the color looks so good i got back my brunette yet she left soft highlights in the front hey she worked on my hair from ....let me go get some pictures of the day...

Ok we all know I have hair issues....So the other day a person comes into the office and says oh Lani is that a wig??? I think what the Hey%#%@&#*# no ??? and with that Deer in the headlight I just stand as this person continues and says "Its so PUFFY" PUFFY PUFFY and everyone from Bambi to ms. Personal phone calls goes silent ....i throw my head around as if it is the girls in the office fault for this comment and say PUFFY ???? PUFFY?????? what the hell????? Of course only because I'm the boss and they have fear of job security they dodge the topic...but obviously this has been a sore spot as we all know I have just not found that just right hair cut it has always been a problem ask anyone I knew for St. Francis to Providence High school non conforming hair that is my cross i have to bear....SO today I called my hairdresser you know Ms.Wendy hip and to cute to be allowed to be in public for more than an hour at a time ...so she asks me what I want "This" time and I give her the puffy story and she says WHAT??? because actually it offends her to..after all I paid her for the Puf..so she goes into her Edward sizzors hands routine and we laugh and talk and laugh and talk and wala....look at the new do...ya like????

Well just thought I would share but another adventure.,..and I can now laugh at the whole thing....Love you all...God Bless....

The Helmet.......

Ok so I went to the hairdresser today and she does NOT like when I call my hair the helmet,...not like it is a reflection on her every time I leave there I look like I did 20 years ago the I go outside and like some evil magic POOF back to the way I always seem to get it to look....Anyhow so today I thought I would take a few shots in the new salon that Wendy moved to and I must say it really is quite nice...Mellow ...it is called Changes Salon it is full service and here in Simi Valley ...I think I am going to start promoting my town...It that not song This is my town dadaddada da....Yes it is ...OK so I go in and my chair is waiting at the station

I sit and try my darnedest to explain what I want which consist of "I want it short but don't take off any length and chiseled in the back but not to short. Also I don't want to much bangs even though my forehead is GYNORMOUS we actually compared heads and I do say she to has quite the large forehead....ok and I want it to look cute and the side should keep the length but I need to puff it up at the same time..now as I'm saying this POOR Wendy is looking at me like what the H$^^#&$*#(#*# but god bless her she says the same thing I asked for but like this...Ok so you want a bit off the back with layers and some length in the front......YAOH....UZER ...how did she do that....I guess they have been doing this so long they understand these special neededs client requests...... so as She starts I decide to snap a few photos. This one is of one of her fellow hairdresser I did not get her name but really sweet.....Don't you love when you go somewhere and everyone is nice.....

Does not happen often so I realise it....

SO as she does her thing I'm talking and talking and she is talking and talking then OUCH great she cut her poor finger well at least we know those scissors are sharp....and god bless her she is so worried about the next client and doing well and we know I don't care cause like I said she will make it look super but the door opens and POOF back to 1 hour earlier and it does not matter .....

But look at all the bandages she pulls out ya think this may have happened before.....?????LOL she actually had a plastic medicine cabinet.....She "says" it is for the girls in case anyone needs one....OKIE DOKIE ...so moving on I told her we should stop gabbing and get to cutting because the other lady said will I be out of here by 5 and Wendy said YUP......so cut cut cut

And as we get done I discover how absolutely gorgeous I am look how nice Purtty thang!!!!

But wait only twenty minutes later watch I'm going to go take a shot now I'm telling you people and Tom watch Its coming its coming wait for it wait for it ............................ ok scroll down...what the heck where did my hairdo go??????
