Kristen got her highlights

I am not very happy with them. When I went to pay she goes $168. Excuse me? I couldn't very well say no, but holy carp. I told her we wanted caramel highlights and pretty obvious so we could tell. Well she has very fine dark caramel/reddish highlights and unless she's standing in the sunlight you can't tell. In the sun they look very pretty but for $168 I want the whole freaking world to know she's got highlights. LOL Kristen is happy with them but I won't be taking her back there. I could have done them at home for $20 and they would have looked just as nice. She says they'll lighten in the sun so we'll see. But I was sitting in the restaurant looking at her and I could not tell she'd had anything done. Rather pointless. She says "subtle and age appropriate". Ummm. If I didn't want anyone to know she had highlights I wouldn't have paid nearly $200 for her to sit here for 2 hours.


Oh well, first time for everything right? Live and learn. All those adages.

Well, I don't think it counts since you can't see them. LOL I will try and take a picture in the sun. :-)

Yep, that's what we wanted. Even Magic Cuts and those discount places charge $90 for foils. I am trying it myself next time. LOL Can see the reflection of the photographer in the window. LOL She looks gorgeous as usual. :-)

Try those root touch up kits. I get my hair foiled (I'm a formerly wavy blond turning frizzy gray), but do touch ups in between professional highlights. It saves money and my honest friends say it looks good.
