hair ...

please note before you read this, its a kind of vanity post, so before the lectures come in on not being vain and all that ... just let me get it off my chest ...

ok, so those of you who know me outside of online blogdom will know I take great pride in my hair
So, ok, some of you may have seen me on a bad hair day, and those of you who see me daily will know right nows it a total mess. Thing is, I have only really been having my hair done at home. Ie, home, when I go stay with mum. Now, I love my hairdresser. Been going to the same one for 18 years (yes mad isnt it) and she has grown with me. She is a superb cutter, and indulges me with my madness. She has seen my hair go through alsorts, of colours, and cuts, from the sleek to the mad. From the normal colour to the bright red with black streaks which I eventually settled on. Not that it is looking very red at the moment.

Now the thing is, I love having my hair done. I guess when I am being treated and pampered by someone who I can natter away to, not feel judged, and turned up in my sloppy joes looking a mess and not have them bat an eyelid, i LOVE IT.

I love the lift having my hair done gives. Like I said, I can feel and look like crap but when I leave , ooooh man its good!
I love doing the unexpected. I love growing my hair, letting people get used to it, then going in for the big chop again. I love messing around with it, experiment, seeing what I can and cant do. I love getting it right.
I guess I would think of my hair as my best feature most of the time, when its looking good.
Good hair and good eye makeup.

Thing is, I am contemplating having my hair done here in the city. Thing is the price ranges are slightly different.
And maybe slightly is the wrong word for it, hugely different might be better.
Thing is, tis my birthday soon. (well, ok, a month and a bits time) .... so would it be hugely wrong and extravagant and indulgant and wrong for a full time volunteer worker to go and spend lots of money on a hair do as a gift from mummy

It would be a good one, by an expert.
It would be quite expensive.
It be something I have never had done, and only ever wished I could - something that is now more in reach by only really being down the road from some of these place.
It would be something I probably wouldnt have done again.
It would be a one off.

I want to.
But I dont know if I should ...
Opinions please

edited to add: this is what I am thinking vaguely about going back to, but with the back a bit longer, and a bit redder ...
