I'm such a loser. I just spent an hour on my makeup and picking out an outfit to go nowhere but pickup Soph from school to only change out of my outfit and into sweats. I was trying the whole "if you look good, you'll feel good" trick and it backfired.
I find that I feel worse if I look good and no one sees it.
mischief my screen name here was my license plate IRL. I've recently had a falling out with some extended family members and I didn't want to open this portal to them to find me. It had nothing to do with anyone here. One of them has recently become the mother of twins and I have no idea if she would search out an online forum. I wasn't an extremely frequent poster but i hope to change that. 😊
When you say Cortland.... is that like SUNY Cortland? This is important. You can also tell me to fuck off.

When I was in law school, I used to be a hair model for L'Oréal. They have hair dressers come in for training all over the country and there would be a master colorist who would demonstrate on me by dyeing my hair (for free). Then all of the other colorists would ohh and ahh over my hair and tell me how amazing it was. I would be sent on my way with bags of free L'Oréal stuff. It was really a win-win situation.
Except once they dyed my hair Porn star blonde. And I just kind of had to be like "um, thanks. I'll learn to like it."
I had someone new do my hair last week because my colorist is on mat leave. I really really love the color it is right now. Like, it's finally what I wanted. Maybe I finally found the right words to say or maybe she's a wizard.
She said she'd put notes in but I kind of want to go to her again, but also don't want to break up with my old colorist because I love her.

Well for the most part everything I do as far as maintenance I do for me and me only. Sure it's nice to get a compliment here and there but I just wanna feel good, ya know?
But I also fucking hate getting my hair done. Like I do not enjoy the entire 3 hour ordeal. But I love the results.
Me too. That's the great thing about my guy. He has known me for so long, he can look At me and be like "you're done now, aren't you?" I get to a point where I don't want to be touched. I have left with still damp hair. I can only spend so long in that chair.
I was planning on going at the end of October to touch up the color and even go like lighter but the lazy side of me wants to just go back to brown and call it a day.

In my group of city friends, there's a well known colorist. KNOWN FOR BLONDE HAIR. She works in one of the Madison Ave salons, does a ton of celebs, is always in Allure. She's known as the colorist to go to for blondes. She has told me to come see her and she will give me a discount.
But how much of a discount? Even at 50%, it's way too much. And we're not friends like that. She's friends with my friends. So I will just keep fawning over all of her blonde beauties on IG.

I've never had my hair colored professionally other than highlights a couple times from my bffs crazy mom back in the nineties. I have box dyed tho. A natural very dark brunette but prefer to be auburn. I have so many greys. Any one who box dyes have any good recs for greys? I have so so many.
The concept of dyeing one's hair at home literally blows my mind.
BUT... The models on the boxes for hair dye you buy at the drug store do not actually have box-dyed hair. They get it done in the salon and then they use the box dye for literally a tiny piece in the back you don't see. I know this because I've been in the salon when they were shooting a campaign for L'Oreal hair dye. LIARS.
Perk to basically being blind: I can't see myself in the mirror when I'm getting my hair done. It's always a surprise until the end when I put my glasses back on to see the end results.
