I have a new hair salon.

Upon moving to Wilmington, I unfortunately, had to suspend my long-term relationship with Arrow Salon in Downtown Durham. They’re still absolutely killing it, and though Stephanie B. over there will always be my hair guru, I had to find a place here to cut/trim the mop that is my pixie masterpiece.

Cue another Melissa.

Yes, my hair stylist is named Melissa as well. She’s awesome. She says things like, “I’m a ding-dong!”, giggles, and is constantly rocking some kind of new look whenever I see her. I also have a secret suspicion that she loves the movie Beetlejuice, which I have no proof of, just an assumption.

I’ve been to see her three times now (she’s also responsible for finally getting my hair platinum), and she was also responsible for my Mia Farrow esque/OG pixie look I had a few weeks ago.

Now, we’re working on growing the top part out (I know you all REALLY care about my hair), while keeping the sides clean and trim, so I can finally achieve the Robin Wright/Britt Fredericks look of my dreams.

I made it.

She’s recommended a lot of products (which I still haven’t purchased), citing the need for some kind of oil to be in my hair before it dries up and blows away like dandelion bits.

OK, she didn’t say that exactly, but she did strongly encourage I use something to keep it healthy.
