Happy Hair

Happy Hair

I have a bad habit of getting bored of my hair. I used to change the colour like there was no tomorrow since the age of 16, it weren't till I trained as a hairdresser and could tell the damage it was doing that I stopped. However, I still got bored so my only option to change is the length. I have extensions pixie cuts ect.

For the past year and a half I have got used to having a short graduation, I have fell into the habit of letting it grown out then having it cut back in. Its a change and keeps me satisfied without feeling like I need to drastically change the colour.

The last time I had my hair cut was February this year when Bella was just under 2 months old. So it had been 7 months since I last had a hair cut which honestly is not good I had a lot of dead ends and it was really thick. I am doing everyone else's hair and running around after my babies all day I just forget about my hair forget I need it cut or to be honest I would just rather give my children the money. But my hair had got really bad and I decided it needed  to be done, today.

I started looking at local salons last and messaged one through social media, they told me I had to ring the salon to book which is confusing as I thought why cant she just book me in via message. So I got in touch with another local salon via another social media site and they got back to me really quickly and booked me in via inbox message which I found really good, efficient, helpful convenient and modern. This salon is called Hair by Sassy.  

I went into the salon today, I was greeted by a stylist (I hadn't got her name) who was friendly as soon as I entered and made me feel comfortable. There was no waiting around and she cracked on. She was quick working and had had the right amount of chat about her and was very polite and friendly when chatting to me. She even dealt with a touchy Ava running around the place in the right manor she didn't let her distract her. I was impressed with the keenness to help and ensure that I walked out of the salon happy.

I hate walking into salons and feeling uncomfortable and getting that really bitchy feeling. I am impressed with this salon as I didn't get this feeling at this salon, the reason why I think and is something I quite like is because there are only two stylists working there. Unlike most salons I actually got a really relaxed feeling when having my hair done. I can't believe how long this salon has been round the corner and  how long I have just passed it. Safe to say I will not be just passing it any more.

Mother & Daughter Treat Day

Last Wednesday myself and my Mother went to Windsor town for the afternoon and it ended up being a lovely day. I woken up and thought to myself "I want a manicure and Shellac" as I was feeling crap, down and not myself so off we went to town .I went to a place called Images which for Windsor it quite reasonable price, the place was big, clean and very friendly. So I picked my colour (RED) and she started doing the manicure and My mother sat behind me waiting and I said get a pedicure done I will treat you and for about 20 minutes she was like no but finally in the end I convinced her that she needed to be pampered. So off she went to sit in the pedicure area and my nails were done soon as Mother started her feet as Shellac don't take long. Mine cost £25 which I thought for a proper manicure and shellac was good price and Mother got the Image Express Pedicure which was £25 and she was there for a good hour so I sat on the leather chairs in the waiting area and I was actually relaxing just sitting there and watching the world go by. The salon played relaxing music, the room was bright white light and the chairs was so comfortable that I could of easily fallen asleep haha.

 This was the manicure area and the chair was so comfy, everything was clean and plenty of magazines to read.

 

I sneakly took a picture of my Mother while she was getting her manicure done haha. It did look so relaxing to be honest but I don't think I would be able to sit there for an hour because of my Back and Colitis. My mother has got awful feet haha but after this treatment her feet were so soft and smooth. Defiantly worth the money.

Sorry for the bad quality of picture but you get the idea. They used OPI Gel Colours and I picked the colour called "BIG RED APPLE" which is exactly what I wanted. I am bit of a Red nail lover and Bright Red by Barry M is the one colour I always wear so I wanted to have a bright red. I've always had natural/nude colours whenever I've had Shellac before so I thought I would go for something different and I love it. For me having this which will last 3weeks or more is ideal. I am forever painting my nails and I swear all my medication has made my nails very dry and bad to the point where none nail polishes was lasting long so a shellac is very ideal for me. I will defiantly go back the place and maybe have another random colour.

 



After the salon we really fancied a coffee so we went to Esquires Coffee Shop which is right in the heart of Windsor town so it was really busy but we got a nice seat and we just sat and chilled for abit before we started shopping. I had a flat white and Mother had a iced coffee and to be honest it was nice!!! Much prefer Costa.

We then done TK MAXX, LUSH, H&M, NEXT and DORATHY PERKINS aka sorry bank balance. 90% of the stuff I brought were for Ava & Bella hahah. I love nothing more than buying for my Nieces to be honest. We got a pizza from Marks & Spencers, got a taxi back and then had a chilled evening. It was just a mother and daughter day and night and it was so nice. For the first time ever we didn't have an argument hahah.

Having two chronic illnesses, depression, anxiety and panic attacks means I don't go out much and also constantly feeling crap so this totally cheered me up. It doesn't cost much to cheer yourself up and treating my mother to a pedicure actually cheered me up as she was happy. I will defiantly try and make this a thing once a month.
