Friday is my last day at the salon.  I’m looking forward to the change of venue. I will be off for about two weeks – but I will start some temporary work after Thanksgiving (goes through Christmas).  I never really thought I’d be there this long – but it sort of worked out for my friend (the salon owner) and my schedule (being in “beauty school”).  So, it’s no big surprise that school is wrapping up soon; and I will be hanging up my receptionist/manager/gopher/everything under the sun person hat.  I think the stand out piece I will miss – getting shampoo/blow outs.  For as long as I can remember, I’ve HATED fixing my hair.  I’ve had time with the blow dryer completely ruin my mood and evening before.  I have picked up on a few tips/tricks that help – especially not shampooing everyday.  Nevertheless, it can still be a big drain.  At the salon, I could count on getting a freebie shampoo/blow out about once a week.  That left me with about 2 to do each week on my own.  I guess now I’ll have to go back to doing them all myself!!  THE HORROR!  Thank goodness I’ve got my trusty Chi Rocket Low EMF hair dryer!
