5 Star Service:
Today.
Today is the first of August. Today is a new month. Today was a day filled with tears, belly cramps , smiles , laughs , and intense anxiety,
because today I got my hair done.
Today I woke early, walked my baby boy (🐶) to clear my head and then got myself ready for the day and then, Today I treated myself.
A trip to the hairdressers is a very different experience for me in comparison to the majority of men and women I know - I can’t speak for everyone of course, but this is not something I look forward to and have not done so for as long as I can remember.
Today for some unknown reason I want to speak out about it. I have no idea why today?, but the words keep coming and I’m just rolling with it. I also want to make it clear that this is is in No Way a post for gaining followers, praise, or likes. I just want to put my words down, that is all.
23 years of hair in hand, strand by strand. Tears , tantrums , broken friendships and relationships , and strange looks. Sometimes unaware but almost always accompanied by my hair in hand.
Today I have a new look. Todays look isn’t driven by today’s trends, todays fashion accessories or todays social pressures because let’s be honest todays society is one we simply cannot keep up with and I have no interest in doing so.
Todays look is that warm fluffy blanket when your cold on a winters night. Candles lighting at Christmas time, and a roaring fire surrounded by family. Todays look is my comfort blanket and one that I am going to hold onto tight.
The purpose of hair is to provide protection and regulation of our body temperature - and Oh My am I toasty!
Your hair is your crown and glory, and today my head is up, and my hands are down, for now.
To my family, friends , boyfriend, and my amazing dog Sir Michael Caine - the support you have provided throughout all the years means more to me than you will ever know - you are all simply amazing.
Today, Tomorrow , and for time unknown - I have Trichotillomania.
Thank you to my amazing stylist Charlotte who today made me feel amazing 💕
Charlotte is extremely professional in all aspects of her work. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. I am a perfectionist and she took her time today to guide me through every aspect of the process whilst we had a giggle. Engaging with other members of staff to get their opinion - it just showed me she values her clients and her work so so much. Char you are amazing. X
