| - OK, I get it. I used to have my hair highlighted to hide the grays. Now, unfortunately, highlights ain't cuttin' it. But I was going to be dammed before I spent $70 on a single color when I could pick up a couple of boxes from the drugstore for under $20.
My tub is stained several different shades now, as was my hair.
So, on vacation I decided fine - I'll piss away the money and go to a professional. Called Mood Swings due to the high ratings on Yelp and was very nervous about what I'd be charged (single color STARTS at $70? And my hair is REALLY thick.) But an appointment was available, so a couple hours later, I met Genesis.
As I said, I've had "professionals" color my hair in the past. Not just highlights, but full single-process color. I have never been impressed, nor have I ever felt as though they did a better job than I could have at home. This was completely different. First off, Genesis was very cool to talk to: did not have that artsy-condescension that I cannot stand in stylists. She applied the color deftly, and before I knew it, it was time to rinse. She then gave the most amazing scalp and hand massages I've ever experienced.
Dried my hair and the color is amazing: grays covered, and - even though there were still highlights growing out - same shade from root to tips, looking shiny and healthy. Plus, even though she used several bowls of color (which I feared would be $20 a pop according to another review) - it was the $70 price as listed on the website. Couldn't be happier. Just hope I can find a Genesis of my own in Shy-town.
