A Hair Appointment That Left Her Seeing Red

I understand that in 2010, a typical driver’s ed curriculum consists of defensive driving strategies, simulator games, hands on experience in a real vehicle, road sign quizzes, drug and alcohol facts, discussions about the danger of texting and driving and rules of engagement for navigating around bikes and pedestrians. When I took driver’s ed, back in the late 1970s, the bulk of the class involved viewing ghastly footage of twisted and mangled vehicles and bodies covered by sheets.

I’m sure much of the new curriculum is the result of top notch computer programming and years of research. Having said that, guess who I’d rather get in the car with - a graduate of the 2010 class or a Baby Boomer who was scared witless by a barrage of blood and guts? I’ll put my life in the hands of that 40+ year old every day of the week. When it comes to behavior modification, fear does have its place.

I tell you this, because today I’m sharing a cautionary hair tale. I feel certain that after you read it, you will sprint to your phone and dial up Hot Heads.

One of the blogs I read on a semi-regular basis is called Lisa and Laura Write. Basically it contains the random musings of two sisters who are writers in the young adult genre. (Think Stephanie Meyer minus the gazillion dollar advance.) I knew I should follow them as soon as I read their bio. Here’s how they describe themselves: The Hilton Sisters - spray tans + brains - 4 inches + 20 (ok, fine...30) pounds ÷ Cleveland, OH. Love it!

In their Friday, June 4th post, http://lisa-laura.blogspot.com/2010/06/hair-mergency.html, Laura reminisces about a former do that sounded quite like the trademark look of skateboarder, Shaun White aka The Flying Tomato. She used the words “red” and “mullet” in the same sentence and I think we all know that the only time that should happen is when one is discussing fish.

Her post goes on to detail her current “hair-mergency” which involved a stint as a maid of honor, a stylist with a compromised immune system and an end result which left me craving the following summer cocktail. (Check out the post and you'll understand. It's rather amusing! :)



In the meantime, I’m going to tell you again, girls. You can’t leave these things to chance. If you want to look fabulous, and I know you do, stay in Florida and book your appointments with the hair professionals at Hot Heads 407-671-0480. If you don’t, there is always that possibility that your hair will end up looking like the top 2/3 of a traffic light. Is that a chance you’re willing to take? I think not!
