Ta-dah!  My hair is no longer red.  It’s ash again!!!  I love my new hair stylist.  He’s affordable, knowledgeable, and did a great job!  Life is good!!!!

Today is a BIG, BIG day in the Smith household. If you know me very well at all, you know that my favorite (not!) thing to do is go to a new hair stylist. Since leaving Little Rock and Jeanna Latture, hair stylist extraordinaire, in June 2005, I have been to every hair salon in San Jose searching for another Jeanna. I have tried Long’s Drug and Beauty 101 as well to see if I might have better luck on my own. It has been a long, tiresome search that seems to have no end.

The search has moved to Parker.  Today, I go to a total stranger (again) who I found on the internet. He specializes in color and has been doing color for 32 years. He was in San Diego and has been in this area since 1990. Please, God, let him be the one! I’m not looking for anything amazing, just a simple ash brown ( NOT RED!!!!!) with a few well-placed caramel highlights. Instead, I end up with a reddish tint that gets redder and redder as the days go by. (BTW, I do love red hair, but not with my skin tone.) Maybe today is THE DAY!!! Is there ash in my future???
