Last Night I found myself Reminiscing again.....
Saturday, April 11, 2009I don't know why, but every year I find myself telling this same story to someone! Maybe it was a lesson I needed to learn & didn't or my subconscious finds it amusing to share. Well this year isn't any different except I'm Sharing it with all of U. This is my story that makes the top 10 list of the stories I absolutely loved 2 live through. This adorable little Grannie, or so U would think if U saw her, came in to the Hair School every week to get her granny-do like all the grannies did. All us wannabe hair stylists loved to play pass the name on the appointment book it was like a fun game of Hot Potato. When Her name showed-up we found creative ways to make it disappear or so we thought. My turn came & she was at my station! In my chair! oh NO! I thought any one but her. It was my day right before Easter weekend. And so it began. She sat in my chair & finally decided on just a hair style so I took her over to the shampoo bowl washed & washed her hair. She told me since she didn't have time for a color she would like a rinse (if you don't know what a rinse is let me explain: Most Grannies use it so they don't have to get their hair dyed as often they're the only ones I've ever used it on & myself of course). A light clicked on in my head & my bright Idea had come out to play. Oh Yes it is possible to get pink hair with a temporary rinse! while I finished putting the rinse in she continued on & on about The Easter Sermon her husband was going to give & how pleased she was about it that he took her advice & so on......I helped her up from the shampoo bowl & removed the towel (let me remind you there are mirrors everywhere)"Mr Evans" she shrieked & over he came asking me what I did, what color I used. I told him I only used a rinse & I heard a sigh of relief. he gave me another bottle and said put this on it. Of he went. So I did what I was told AND then she had blueish gray hair. Then she said Since you don't know what you're doing I'm not going to wait around for you to fix it I'll Just wear an Easter bonnet to cover it up. The good news is the rinse is temporary it'll wash out eventually. In the process I succeeded WAHOO! her Name never showed up on my books again! I don't even remember her name but we called her the tip bible lady or something like that. It was around 10 years ago. Somewhere I'm sure she's still out peddling her little orange bibles to someone, but 1 things 4 sure she's didn't give any 2 me!
