Yesterday the wife unit went to the hair salon. This usually is an all day affair, an appointment followed by lunch and shopping with her friends to show off the fresh do. This leaves me in the house alone to lounge around in sweats and free to cheat on my wife-imposed diet. Imagine my surprise when she arrived home while I was still enjoying my contraband take-out chinese food. I was really about to panic because she had her "I'm beyond pissed off" face on. But before I could even swallow my last greasy morsel, she came at me fuming "would you look at this!!!" At first I thought she meant my smorgasbord of Chinese delicacies but then I looked at her - really looked at her and then I saw it. Her normally brown hair was now streaked with stripes of angry looking red. At this point I had a quick internal conversation with myself. My first reaction was to laugh - I know, I'm an ass - but my brain quickly assessed that she was definately not in the mood for that, and that I would probably get a pass on the Chinese food if I didn't laugh, or ask to post a pic of her mutant skunk hair on my blog. So I did the smart thing and remained silent while she told me her tale of woe. In between trying not to cry and cursing she told me of how her regular hair guy was sick so the salon offered her a different stylist. How she really wanted it done today, meeting with the girls already set, wedding we are to attend is next week, etc etc. How she explained to the temp stylist chick what her usual guy does for her and that she wanted the same today (Pffft! I didn't even know the wife unit's "honey" highlights came from a bottle). Wife unit said she should've left after the temp stylist began consulting other stylist about the mixing (They mix it? Didn't know it was that complicated), but she didn't want to be rude or hurt her feelings. But that now she looks like this. Readers, I have to tell you, it is pretty bad. Not only does her hair have red not honey streaks in it, but it looks a little stingy or frizzy or - just not good. The more she told me, it stopped being funny. She was really upset. She told me that the salon told her to come back on Monday, that regular dude would be back and could "fix" it. I'm not so sure. I can't see how you can fix it short of shaving her head. I spent the next 15 minutes or so taking pictures for "evidence" just in case she wants to make a federal case out of it - like if it can't be "fixed". We then finished off the rest of my illegal Chinese food and then I went out to get pizza and beers. When I got back we drank enough beer so that her bi-color hair actually became funny again. Then we had hot mutant skunk sex, which is always nice. I hope that super stylist dude can fix it. One, because the wife unit is really, really, really upset about it. She actually said she won't go to the wedding if it's not fixed. Which will mean that I have been on a torture diet all summer for nothing. Two, because as I look at her hair this morning in the sober daylight it really is quite horrible. It looks like something one of the goth chicks would do at home in their bathroom sink. Not cool on someone who is a boss in a corporate environment. And three, because she's upset about it. Most of the time I am an ass, but I actually do love the wife unit, and it pisses me off that she paid alot of money to have someone screw her up like this. So super duper stlyist dude better mix a magic potion and make the wife unit whole or I just may go down there and - well I just might call up there and - Well I will might just blog the hell out how much I hate that salon.

I hope she at least gets a kick out of reading your blog, it's very funny. I've been where she is, and fortunately, I was able to make it better. It's refreshing to know that you actually "heard" her and empathized with her. Nice hubby!

Sorry, I typed in blotspot.com instead of blogspot.com - dizzy day! I'll blame it on the heat wave.

Hope they get it fixed for her - and good job for you holding back the initial laughter and comments ;)

I would totally post the photos and a bad recommendation for the salon, if the hair isn't fixed pronto!
