Last week I attended a San Diego MOMfia event at Detour Salon. I arrived 30 minutes before anyone else because it was either arrive early or wash dishes. Out the door I went. While sipping on wine, and enjoying the silence, I started thinking about what I wanted to ask my stylist. Other than “are you free next week to color my hair?” the only thing I could think of was “how can I quickly make my hair look presentable?” A stylist walked up to me, introduced herself as Megan, and we began chatting. Stylists are the best therapists. Luckily, Megan is also a mom so she could totally relate to my hair woes and daily urge to wear a hat. I neglected to mention that I throw on a hat 90% of the time but I think she figured that out based on my 8 inch roots alone. Not only did I learn how to quickly tend to my hair, I learned I was doing almost everything completely wrong.
Disclosure: I was not paid by Detour Salon to write about the event or complimentary services.
I’ve been called “maternal” since the day I could hold a baby doll. I’ve become a pregnancy, baby and parenting resource since having my first child almost 10 years ago. This is my blog and where I share my journey through parenthood with you.
I absolutely love my hair stylist and I love getting my hair done. It's my two hour escape to make myself feel better.
Thank you for stopping by my blog yesterday!
For the Watermark questions, I only know how to make one in Photoshop. You add your water mark, or words. Over in "Layers" there is a pull down tab "Opacity" move the bar from 100% to desired look. Then do the same with "Fill"
And BINGO! Watermark
So great to meet you at Detours! It was a great time and I learned a LOT from my stylist.
Great post girl! So bummed I missed the event.
Mary – "bummed" LOL.
Your hair looked GORGE! Why didn't you post that pic?!
Just got my hair cut Saturday! I noticed she did what you say is best, but I usually am too lazy to take the time. Maybe if I did, I wouldn't need to straighten it after and would actually save time! Thanks! ♥
What a fun time! Great tips and I'm enjoying reading your blog
Ashlee, thanks for the tip! Now I need to get Photoshop
(still learning basic on a Mac)
Vixen, lovely to finally meet you in person. Your daughter's hair looked beautiful!
Mary and Beth- are you making fun of me?!
Gina- I went back and got mine done this past week, too! I always thought I didn't have the time but it actually saves time in the end… you're so right about the straightening thing!
Marissa- thank you! I loved looking at the pictures (and reading) about your adorable kids earlier today
