German Blondie

Today not only did I drive by myself for the very first time since moving here three months ago, but I also got my first haircut and "blondening" since moving here as well. My friend gave me the name of her girl, so I made an appointment at her salon since I don't work on Fridays. I actually ended up subbing two periods today in the afternoon, but my appt. was at 9, so I was able to do both. Since we only have one car, I dropped my husband at work and then drove to the salon which is very close to his office. I was a nervous wreck to drive alone because the roads are very windy and narrow in some towns and there are many people out walking/biking. Fortunately, I made it home without getting lost.

Let's just take a moment to give thanks for the invention of GPS!

I had my previous hair stylist girl Cari write down the color formula she used so that I could bring it to my new stylist in Germany. Yvie, who I went to this morning, said their colors are very different, so I was a bit worried, but I am really happy with the results.

She was super sweet and she gave me her private number so I can call her at home and make an appointment for her to do my hair at her house next time which will be much cheaper than the salon. I had to pay 95 Euros which is a lot, but I am used to paying a ton in the US too, so I wasn't that flabbergasted when she told me the price. Apparently, it would only be 50 Euros if I went to her house. Next time I would like to do that for sure.

Got a little Photo Booth happy, but here are some pics.
Likey? No Likey?

Love it ! I was so scared the first time I went to salon here. Even with my formula in hand I didn't want to come out looking like the people that hang out at the train station! My girl only does one color no highlights. 95 Euros ouch!! That's alot!
