Yesterday I taped a surgical mask to my face with surgical tape, put a cloth one over that, and got my hair done by Tea Cup Mermaid (also in a mask). I thought having the cut would be worth it but getting it would not be fun due to anxiety, but actually it was fun despite my periodic thought that I would feel really stupid if I got Covid because of a haircut. In fact, it was really wonderful to get to hang out with Tea and Ryan (the other stylist) and Stella, the other client, who was getting her hair colored for the very first time.

Oh so pretty. (Multiple pics, click through.)

As is normal with hair by Tea, it's even better in RL than in photos. The underlayers are dark blue/purple, so it gives the effect of fire at night. The main colors she used are Pulp Riot Nightfall, Nuclear, and Satire - very appropriate for a cut done during a pandemic, with smoke making the day look like it was after sunset.

It will definitely be good for my mental health, though. And if I don't enter a salon for another year, which is looking highly likely, this one will be easier to maintain myself due to the color scheme incorporating darker roots.

Your hair is SO, SO PRETTY.

I think I am due for a trim next week, and the salon has been very reasonable on the distancing and the masking, so hopefully they still will be.

Oh, wow, this time she veered away from those marvelous blues and greens toward warm fall colors. It looks fantastic!

Lovely autumn hair, even if its underlying themes are distinctly and unavoidably apocalyptic ...

It looks great, I love the colors!

(When I was telling myself after a bad color job last December "I wish I could let it grow out so I can get back to my natural hair color, but alas how will I go in to work!" I did not mean "make a pandemic happen so I don't need to go anywhere at all". But here we are. I semi envy you the haircut bliss, because I don't dare go in to my stylist who I feel will not be the best about adhering to rules)
