Big Mistake. Big. Huge. Just kidding. But really..c'mom!!! Let's start this little tale with the cold hard facts. I love getting blow outs. I get tons of them. I am not exaggerating. I mainly frequent another blow out establishment but I am an equal opportunity blow out whore and I have even been to Primp and Blow a handful of times. It is fun to mix it up. Anyone who has poopy textured hair like me will understand...and agree that it takes a lot of work to blow out your own hair when you have thick hair that is prone to waves/kinks/frizz of an uncontrolled (not cute) nature. It never quite looks the same when you style your own hair.
Another thing you have to understand, I am actually pretty easy to please when it comes to blow drys. Worst case scenario: I tweak it a little when I get home...no biggie..it is not like a color or a cut where you could really endure some serious trauma...so it is in fact a low risk/high reward venture.
This is where the story turns south. My girl was pleasant enough. The shampoo was fine. The styling process seemed to be going okay, I was just settling into my I pad magazine when the blow dryer stops and my blow dry is apparently finished.
When you get as many blow outs as I do, you have a REALLY good idea of how long it takes to dry your hair and I am thinking "Huh? How is my hair all the way dry?"...anyway my daughter was still getting her hair done so I paid for both of us and left the tip for each stylist. Then I went into the bathroom and felt my hair and sure enough my hair was damp. I went back to the stylist and told her my hair was still wet.
She asked "Where"?
I answered "Everywhere".
She felt it and said, "It's not wet..it just feels that way because the products get cold and it makes it feel wet".
What????? Huh????? Seriously??? What kind of products are these???? Huh??
She said she would hit it with the blowdryer one more time. Which she proceeded to do for like 30 seconds. :( :( ??
I didn't want to get into it with her because I was actually starting to doubt my ability to tell the difference between damp and dry hair even though I am pretty sure I had that ability since I was a toddler. After all she is the blow dry expert.
I just waited for my daughter to get done. Before hopping in the car I asked her to feel my hair. Well...guess what? My hair was wet.
I booked it home. Of course it was starting to frizz up and curl in a weird direction by that time.
I just strongly feel if you are in the business of drying hair you should at least get the dry part right.
