Let it Shine

Last week was a big week for my mane - I went from wanting to not let my hair see the light of day to having a "Is that really MY hair?!" moment. Due to the virus that shall not be named, I hadn't gotten my hair done since January. The split ends, dull color, and grays were out in full force so I finally plucked up the courage to see my stylist. She moved from a big salon to a salon suite which is perfect right now with all the precautions. She's in her own suite with a sliding door with it's own beverage station, hair station, and even sink for washing and rinsing. She took off a few inches and brought rich color back with some highlights, and I felt like me again.

Several days later, I was asked to visit the Rizzieri Salon for a complimentary shine treatment and blow dry. I stopped for a cold brew on the way, and got settled in at the new to me salon. We talked about my hair goals, and I expressed wanting it to simply shine more and be healthier with less frizz (because Florida humidity). She applied the glaze, and let it set for a bit and then washed my hair with Aveda products before blowdrying. I'm still in awe of how much better my hair looks after letting it go for so long. Excuse me as I do a much needed hair flip!









Check out these "after" photos. I honestly can't even remember the last time I was proud of my hair. My daily ponytail since being home this year is officially on a break! 




After getting my shine on, I enjoyed a celebratory glass of bubbles before beginning my self-quarantine leading up to a big work event. We obviously aren't traveling around the world this year, but we are putting on a global event on a stage which will be streamed online for people to watch from the comfort of their own homes. Love how we have quickly accommodated to all things 2020!
