| - Really? Really? I paid for someone to blow dry my hair quickly and poorly? I can do a better job at home.
Disclaimer: I have never had a "blow out" before. I do not have curly hair. So, my need for a blow out is very low on the grand scheme of things. But, I had heard good things from my gal Kat F about getting a blow out and I love being pampered so, I wanted to try it out and treat myself.
The decor - beautiful
Fit me in quickly - beautifully
Had San Pellegrino to drink - beautifully sipped by me
When I walked in, I noticed it was an older gentleman that was doing the blow outs. Okay - different, but I thought perhaps he is the hair whisperer or something. Plus, the owner lady told me I was in good hands with Frank. Frank washed my hair - no nice massage. This was my first disappointment. Frank also told me that his hair is similar to mine (fine, limp and greasy) and that he can go 4 days without washing after using these products. I can't - one of the reasons I get my hair dyed is to dry it out. If I don't wash my hair every other day, I would be able to change the oil in my car by just bending over the hood.
I digress....As I wanted to see what Frank could do for me, I said do what you like. As the owner of my scalp and hair, I know I need to work my roots to get any volume. Dude didn't touch the roots. By the time he used a round brush to dry the ends, and then almost gave me 80's curl under bangs (I have long light bangs that I wear to the side...which he saw when I walked in). After I told him that I wear the hair to the side, he did push them puppies over, but in a horrid way.
He had also said he was going to give me a poof or something at the back. Great I thought, I can handle big volume hair. I have no idea if he was taking something and saw a bump that I didn't see, but there was no bump. I could have used a bumpit and jazzed it up Texas style myself.
I know I should have said something in the moment, I should have asked for more. But, he was so pleased with himself and proud. I didn't want to either burst his bubble or perhaps I am way off in what a blow out for my hair should be.
I am going to take Kat F's suggestion and go to Civello to try again.
