I have a hair stylist!

I don't think I've had a regular hair stylist since high school.  I've just never particularly connected to anyone, so I get my hair cut as infrequently as possible.  I just tried a place near my new apartment, and I think I might stick around!

She was so nice, did a good job, but the clincher was when I told her I didn't want my hair blown dry because it's hot and my thick hair takes too long, she offered to braid it for me instead, two perfect braids and I felt like an absolute goddess.  I stupidly didn't take a picture until after I'd slept for a night, but you get the gist.  It's WAY better than anything I could do, what a cool bonus!

The next day my hair was dry, and the braids created waves as if I had a perm, so it's fun to have a series of styles for a few days.
