Lena and I have been texting back and forth for the past forty five minutes. She said that she just sat down in the chair, and the girls along with Dana were getting their shampooed. Amy washed my hair twice and applied the conditioner in, she left in for a few minutes then rise it out. Amy wrapped a towel around my head, l went over
Took my seat in the chair. Amy plugged in the blow dryer
She removed the towel, she put it around my shoulders

She trims the dead ends. After Amy got finished
Amy turns on blow dryer, she uses the brush to straighten out my long hair. It's been a long time since I had my hair professionally done, l hope it's not too hot on your scalp

Amy said always knew what she wanted to do when
Graduated from high school at sixteen she went to straight to cosmetology school and finished in eighteen months. Amy that's impressive Stef says to the young woman, after she done drying my hair. Amy hooked up the flat iron and curling iron, she asked me questions about myself. I told her as little as possible, l have a degree in business management and accounting

Stef kept the conversation lite. Amy parted my hair
in sections, she began straighten out each strand of my hair. I wonder how Lena's making out, Lena has a lot hair so does our girls. Amy finished flat ironing my hair

A one hundred dollar bill and handed it to her, she removes the cape from around my neck. I excused myself to go and use the restroom before I leave, l checked the time. It was 12:00pm in the afternoon. After using the bathroom l flush the toilet and washed my hands
I looked at myself in the mirror, l become emotional and started crying. This was so not me, l usually can suppressed my emotions in check. But this experience is all new to me, the last time I cried is when Lena gave birth to our little girls and before that when l loss my Dad
