Sedation Cosmetology

I need a haircut and color so badly that I frighten myself in the mirror. I look bad enough in my home lighting, but I am really afraid to see how bad I look in the glaring lights of my salon. These big, wiry grays will be sparkling like sunshine on water. As luck would have it, I'm normally drugged up on my special cough syrup when I go in for coloring. I do more with my hair in the fall/winter and that's cold season, I get bronchitis if you look at me, coughing makes me piss myself so I take special cough syrup and love everyone and don't cough. Good times! Luckily I have been illness-free this season and I haven't faked being ill just to get my special syrup because I would drink it if I had it, so I'll have to face the bright lights and many mirrors unaided by my chemical friends. I better wait for this eye herp to pass or I will be drinking hair gel to dull the pain.

It would definitely make the time at the salon way more fun.

I hear you loud and clear! I just bought root touch up to hide just how bad I've let things get BEFORE I go for my hair appt. next week. How crazy is that? Don't answer that.

Yes, I'm in need of a trip to the salon as well. And my eyebrows are so overgrown it's mortifying...oh well. Good luck at the salon. Can't wait to see the results.

I get the eye herpes every single flippin' time I get my eyebrows waxed. I'm thinking of going al-natural soon.

Right now... I'm sporting a good looking outbreak between my eyes. Actually.... two of them. One on top of the other seperated by about 1/2".

What kind of cough syrup is it? Is it safe for fetuses?

No, it's a narcotic so I wouldn't think it would be ok for fetuses. I'm no doctor but nothing that makes you feel that good can be good for a fetus. It's called Histex or Histinex, I'm usually too toasted by the time I'm reading the bottle to see what is making me feel so wonderful. That's just an added bonus because it is freaking fabulous for coughs.
