"Tweak" the color please!

I've been driving the lady who does my hair CRAZY!!! Every time I go in there, I want her to "tweak" the color a little. I am after the PERFECT shade of RED! I have always wanted red hair. Which is really funny because my mom is a red head. SHE did not want a child with red hair....she joked that if she would of had a kid with red hair that she would of had to dye it another color. LOL!! Maybe that is why I am obsessed with the color. I don't know. I also want a little girl with red hair.....but I guess that is another story!

So we've been working on getting my hair red. I keep saying that to me the color is not very red. Oh sure it has red in it, but I see brown more than I see red.....Looking back at some pictures of me from the fall, I realized that she had gotten it pretty close to what I was looking for. Close, but not it!

THEN the perfect color came on the cover of a magazine. It was a photo of Marcia Cross....Her hair is usually a deeper red, but this time it was lighter and had the most amazing highlights. I was so excited, but had told Mary that I would try and stop making her change the color, that I would let her work her magic.....so I was not sure how she would react. Well, lucky for me, she LOVED it too.

So now we are in the process of getting my hair there. It will take a couple of services, but I am already loving how it looks. She almost bleached my entire head, giving me blond hair. I have NEVER been blonde, because I DO have red in my hair color. (Just not enough!) When I tried to go blonde before, my hair turned orange!! I wish I'd had my camera the other day, so that I could have take a picture of it! LOL!! It was pretty cool! (The blonde, not the orange) Anyways then she put the red glaze on top. It looks sooooo good!! I can't wait till next time! Only problems, is she is getting sooo busy that I was not able to make an appointment for SEVEN weeks!! We've been doing my hair every 5 weeks, so that is quite a long way off.....

I'll try and take a picture of how it looks now (that I like) and then figure out how to post.....Until later......
