Bang!

Yes, it was time for a haircut! It had been about a year since my last cut. It took me so long because I wanted to let it grow as much as I could bare. I felt that if I went in sooner for a cut I would end up chopping it short again but I want to let it grow long again! It's still a short-medium length but long enough to have bangs! I was contemplating on whether to go to my usual place (Vidal Sassoon) or a new place. Vidal Sassoon is not budget friendly so I decided to go with a new place. I searched on Yelp for salons near my place. A few good spots came up and one of them was Bang. Since Eva goes there, I thought it would be a great place to try. I called on Friday morning to make an appointment---I was excited to hear that there was availability for that evening with Eli. On the Yelp review, Eli's name was mentioned alot. Later on Eva let me know that's who did her hair. My appointment was at 6:45PM. You would think there is no way I could be late for this. All I had to do is leave my work area at 5:45ish and walk over a few miles. Yes, I managed to be a little late. I decided after work I would walk to Binny's which is a few blocks from my work. I ended up buying a bottle for "A Sprinkle of Growth"! I had a little of time to spare so I thought perfect time to stroll over to Trader Joe's. I got what I needed from Trader Joe's but didn't end up leaving from there til 6:15! At this point I knew I would have to be lucky to make it on time. I walked over to the Chicago bus stop...this bus took forever to come. I was contemplating on whether to take a cab. I decided I would take the Chicago bus, get off on Milwaukee and take a cab from there. I hoped onto a cab and got there ten minutes late---not bad. I finally saw Eli around 7:05-10, he was still finishing up someone when I got there. He asked what I wanted to do with my hair and I replied "I want bangs but don't know about the rest of my hair, I'm letting it grow out." Then he asked a couple of other standard questions. After that I got my hair washed and conditioned by Edgar then Eli did his thing. We chatted about hair, running, my job, etc. He was pretty cool. He did a great job! I just have to see how it looks wavy and down. Yesterday I had it in a pony tail with my bangs down. 


I'm very happy to have bangs again!!!

P.S. I found a perfect shade of hot pink for my lips! It doesn't look that hot in this pic but it is :)
