New Hair

So everyone once in a while I get this urge to have change in my life. Usually that means I get a hair cut. My hair grows really slowly, so when I do cut or do something to it, it's a big deal. I also haven't gotten a cut or anything since last October so I thought it was time. 

I really wanted to darken my hair color. However, being from California I have been brain washed into thinking that if you do dye your hair, you go lighter. Last time I went to the hair dresser and told him I wanted it darker he talked me out of it and somehow I ended up with highlights. I have been fighting this eternal struggle and decided that I would take the jump today and go dark! WOO!

So today Nicole and I went to a salon today. 

I told the girl that I wanted my hair cut and colored and she gave us colors to choose from. I picked a color that I thought wouldn't be too dark, and she went to work. After waiting for the color she washed it out of my hair....

... where I got a good laugh because this is what I saw on the ceiling: 

...hahahaha... Nicole and I got a good laugh out of that one. Then she proceeded to cut my hair.

And then I ended up like this:  

As you can see my hair style slightly looks like it came from the 70's. And yes, the color I picked turned out to be the same color my hair was already. I guess the conspirators against me having dark hair win again.... At least I got a cut right?
