Setting Down Roots
I’m about to celebrate my eighth year in L.A. and I figured it was time for an in-town hair colorist, as opposed to heading every four months to my former home in San Francisco (not that I’m complaining) for auburn highlights. It’s traumatic enough to relocate without having to find new haircare professionals, doctors, auto mechanics, dry cleaners, maitre d’s who know you (and loved ones), so I kept putting it off. Well, that’s not precisely true. Soon after moving, I tried a “highly recommended” salon in L.A. and my hair was colored a hideous shade of berry, which might have been okay, if I had enough attitude. Instead, I wanted to hide in a closet, not a good strategy when you’re trying to make friends. Today, I gave L.A. beauty one more try. My hair color looks warm and bright, just like (enhanced) mother nature intended. So now, I’m here to stay.
