In between dropping off prints and a park session I had four free hours.
Yes. You heard me right.
A mother of three, and four free hours?!

I felt light headed. It was as if I had won the lottery.
What to do?
Go shopping, get lunch, or just sit in my car just to hear my own thoughts clearly?
While entertaining the wonderful idea of running into a store without schlepping three kids,
I caught my reflection in the rear view mirror.
I caught my reflection in the rear view mirror.
Ugh. Dreadful.
I think it was two years since I took full assessment of what was staring back at me in the mirror.
I needed a cut and color, and I needed it now.
Like right now.
I dialed the closest salon to where I was stopped at that red light.
They were able to squeeze me in in an hour.
Perfect.

The music was piped through the speakers in the parking lot of T. Carlton Spalon,
and as I walked in the hum of the hair dryers steady rhythm was like a lullaby.
*soothing*
The interior was elegant.
Okay, that's modest.
More like decadent and glamorous.
Leopard print and mocha caramel walls surrounded me.
Framed mirrors, chandeliers, and super fun stained glass lighting hung strategically around the massive yet cozy space.
There was so much eye candy there it was ridiculous.
Plush chocolate sofas and an icy cold pitcher with beautiful orange slices floating through it.
There was even a celestial theme on the ceiling for your viewing pleasure while
you were having your hair shampooed! I know. Fabulous, right?
I walked in that day for a haircut and came out having an experience.
When a person, company, service or product can do that, I want to do business with them.
It's really that simple.
They get it.
The best part of this whole experience?
I know what most of you would guess.
You look soooo much better.
But that's not it.
You feel so much better.
You feel happy.
You have an extra spring in your step.
You feel a little healthier, maybe because you are actually taking the time to
take care of yourself...and perhaps even a little sexier.
The way you look, the compliments and the confidence is almost an after thought.
In today's age when everything is a commodity it's nice when a service or product goes above and beyond. Not just so you sit up and take notice, but because they care.
