Dry Cut With A Flat Iron

I know it's been a while since I've "blogged" so here it goes. First of all I HATE HATE HATE that POS DVR from Direct TV, but no big surprise there. Let's just say that this thing is one more missed Project Runway away from a hammer, and I'll leave it at that. Anyway back to my title. For all of you who know me you know I am follicularly challenged. My hair is way high maintenance and I have been threatening a bob for forever. Well last Tuesday after a particularly long blow dry in a somewhat frizzy bathroom I made a fateful phone call. I dialed a cute girl named Amber at a place called Guys and Gals Salon in Mesa (I've been there before) and asked when her next available appointment was. To my dismay she said at 11:00 that morning, therefore no time to chicken out. I took a leap of faith and made the appointment. She also had another one available for my mom so I took her with me for moral support. Now every time in the past I have gone to my regular girl Rachelle because she knows me and she knows I love bob haircuts but I don't really want one and has been able to talk me into "just a trim" quite a few times. After I got off the phone with Amber I called my friend Lisa to try and talk me down off the bob ledge, but I got her voicemail and I left a semi-hysterical message that I'm sure amused her. Armed with my 2 year old pictures of Renee Russo and Nicole Ritchie (long bob, side swept bangs) I made my way to the salon. Amber said "so are you ready?", I said "I guess so, can you cut it like this?", she said "sure no problem". She is a very skilled stylist and she proceeded to cut my hair DRY, WITH A FLAT IRON. The reason this is all caps is because I will never, ever, ever look the way I did after she cut my hair and flat ironed it. I should have taken a picture of it but I didn't. Seriously, it looked just like Nicole Ritchie's...Cut to Thursday...I am now trying to do my hair myself without the benefit of a $200 Chi Flat Iron or being able to see the back of my head...Result...MUSHROOM. Please ladies, learn from my experience no haircut can de-frizz a frizzy head, a flat iron might though. And now I have Anchorwoman hair, yet still no job...
