A Burb Mom Make-Over

I am bad about taking the time to go to a salon.  Not just because I am so busy, but because I just dreaded it.

I was a serial hairstylist seeker.  I have heard it said that it is easier to find a husband than a hairstylist…

Last spring my hairstylist quest ended when I walked into Splurge Salon in the Shops of Highland Village.

*cue the angel choir*

Danna did my color.

Jenna did my haircut and brows.

All was right in the world of Holly haircare.

When Jenna suggested a Holly make-over I was immediately on board. I had thoughts of going a little shorter, going a little lighter and definitely attending to what had become an eyebrow situation.

BEFORE:

When my dear partners here at burbmom.net heard of my make-over plans, they TOOK OVER the plans.

shorter? NO!
lighter? NO!
eyebrow taming? YES & ASAP PLEASE!

These are girls of action (Bianca and Shauna) and I knew better than to intervene…

They wanted drama.
They wanted change.
They wanted Jennifer Garner.

Sure!

Who doesn’t want Jennifer Garner?

And so the process began. Danna worked on my color.

Seriously people, did Holly just post pictures of herself in foil?

Yes she did.

She is taking the telling of this story very seriously.

While I was waiting for my color to color (super technical beauty term), I surfed burbmom.net.

How is this possible?

Because Splurge Salon is THAT cool.  They have Wi-Fi and a computer available for use in spare haircare moments.

Oh, and then there was the eyebrow situation.

Jenna expertly crafted contoured brows from bushy overgrowth. She started with wax.

And then I died.

Whew. I came back to life for the haircut.

And then Jenna used her invisible scissors and special-magic-gun-pointy hands…

OK, she really used real scissors, but it was magical.

And then it was finished.

*drum roll*

*wait for it*

*wait for it*

AFTER:

Ta-dah!

I love it. I am still a little freaky every time I pass a mirror or window but I am having fun getting used to it.

A big THANK YOU to the girls at Splurge Salon.  They did an amazing job with me and my partners’ TAKE-OVER make-over plan.
