She's Like A Sunset

I've had a hell of a year. I broke my foot and was wrongly told that I'd had a heart attack in the same week - and that was a typical week. So, now that I have learned that my heart is fine, and also that I do not have breast cancer and am not in fact likely to have a stroke (you see what kind of year it was), I decided to get my hair touched up to celebrate.

Since enough had washed out or grown out to switch up the colors a bit, I went with "sunset." Tea Cup, the stylist, literally used a photo of a sunset to choose the shades.

Ta-da!



I told Tea Cup that I'd wanted to have rainbow hair ever since I was eleven, and I'm finally fulfilling my dream. All the stylists were thrilled to hear that. It was a really fun atmosphere in the salon, as everyone was just so delighted to be there and be getting truly amazing hair.

Tea Cup said, "It's funny to say this, since obviously these aren't natural colors, but you really seem meant to have this kind of hair. Sometimes people come in and get looks that they thought they wanted, but then they have second thoughts and then the hair doesn't look right on them. But when someone's really happy and confident with what they want, then it always looks good on them. And that's what you got. It's a very bold look, but you're wearing it - it's not wearing you."

"It's funny to say this, since obviously these aren't natural colors, but you really seem meant to have this kind of hair.

I agree. When I was a little child I would have thought that your hair was naturally rainbow.

You look so happy! And I totally agree with Teacup -- it's you who wears these colors, and they WORK! (I also find honest hair stylists hilarious and wonderful.)

That is just beautiful. Tea Cup is a very fine colorist---the colors are wonderful, not harsh but toned so well, and the shading and streaking are amazing. The cut is lovely and flattering too! I just love the twinkle of blue!

(It's so hard to find a stylist who really gets you! She's great.)

Tea Cup is exactly right. Not only is this an amazing look, it looks even more amazing and fitting on you. Very happy to read that even getting the look done was a fun experience! :D
