Back in the City

Last October, I wrote about visiting 1213 Hair Studio at the invitation of Kelly, the owner. She liked my photographs and wanted me – someone who uses irrigation as a car wash – to photograph her gorgeously chic salon.

My computer burned up from responding so fast.

I loved everything about this place, but it is pretty far away from our farm and with M.K. being a baby it was difficult to justify getting away just for my hair.

But if you have curly hair, you know just how frustrating it can be and this summer I’d grown sick of ponytails. My husband had grown really sick of my ponytails.

From Facebook updates, I learned that 1213 has a “Curly Hair Expert” and from photos of me, I learned that I needed one. And with my “baby” being over a year old… well, it was time to go back to that salon in the big city.

I liked it so much that I not only took a cell phone pic of myself but made Keith take photos of me at home… and then I splashed them unabashedly all over Facebook. I know looking for a phone with an Office Depot coupon you can share your photos easily.

 

For anyone who has known me in real life they know that – for me – having silky, frizz-free, NORMAL hair is something to get excited over. I feel like it’s Christmas.

 

And so is this place.

I’m going back. Forever and ever. It can be my one day-away-from-home indulgence. I think all women need that sometimes.
