Getting used to it
A few weeks ago I was freaked out about the new system and wasn't sure I liked it. Well, I do like it. There are a couple things I will change for the next order, but overall its been good. A couple observations:
1. I was concerned about the rate of change, going from no hair to good hair. It turns out this doesn't matter. Most people are so self absorbed that they won't really notice or if they do they can't put their finger on it. If they say "something looks different" you could say "I lost weight!" or even "I colored my hair".
2. Women don't mind it. In fact, they're accustomed to doing all sorts of fake things in the name of looking good - colored hair, hair weaves, fake boobs, lipo, push up bras, make up, fake nails, shape wear, etc. They can't tell, and even if they could, they like it. They're used to working hard to look their best and appreciate it when we do the same.
3. I may have had too high expectations for this first order. This is a learning process for me, my stylist, and even TL. I think with a couple tweaks, the next one will be much better.
4. Hair systems are everywhere. Nearly every single man on TV, movies, politics, and most executives have them. If you F it up or decide you don't like it, you're out $200. It isn't that big a deal.
