hair

Today was a good day because I got my hair did! I was in hardcore need of highlights, my roots were growling at me in the mirror telling me to make an appointment somewhere. I partially blame the green monsters for making my hair grow so fast. I like it, because I am trying to grow out my layers, but I don’t like it because it can cost me a pretty penny!

Luckily, I found a gem in the city of D.C. – The Aveda Institute. Seriously, I am SO lucky to be so close to this bad boy. I only wish I knew about it sooner. It is a school for Aveda stylists, and the students are there working on your hair/nails/face, etc. I got highlights and a haircut for $60, which is seriously a rocking price, and I love my new highlights! If I went to a regular Aveda salon, it would cost me $60 just for the cut.

I wasn’t nervous about being worked on by a student, because teachers were walking around the whole time, and checked everything throughout the process. I was also constantly asked if everything was exactly how I wanted it, which made me feel pretty good.

On top of the killer price and service, if I booked my next appointment before I left (which I was planning on doing anyway) I get an extra 20% off my next appt! Umm…YES PLEASE! I made an appointment for my next highlight, before the wedding I have in May. I also made an appointment for a facial, which will be my first. I am pumped. Its an hour and a half worth of pampering for $45. Actually it will be less than that with my 20% discount. Seriously, such a good deal, I had great results, the people working there were great, I am so pumped that I have finally found a hair place to call my own!

Check it out to see if there is one in your area! TOTALLY worth it!

So today was my beauty day before my big trip on Thursday. It included highlights, nails and a wax. My hair appointment was supposed to be yesterday but it got canceled because of the snow so I had to smush it all into today. Rough life at the spa! I got my highlights first, and if you have ever had them with foil, you know you look kinda silly while the color is setting. I have A LOT of hair, which calls for A LOT of foil. This results in a very INTERESTING look.

Please embrace:

HOT STUFF! I rocked this look while getting my manicure done. I sat in this chair, by a huge window, at a highly populated shopping center. People were literally walking by me, pointing and laughing. Some people even walked by twice I think. I am glad that I was able to provide a smile to the people of Reston Town Center tonight. Thank gosh no one I know walked by!

Please embrace my manicure chair from the outside angle! Totally worth the it because I love my hair and am totally beach ready now!
Love you Aveda!
