Before you start feeling sorry for Patti, just know she requested my skilled hands here. Apparently I can apply hair dye with the best of ‘em.
Come to think of it, as a kid I was always good at coloring and I actually enjoyed it! I’m not sure why I used past tense ![]()
Ric Booth, Hair Colorist. Who knew?
I did snag a few stubborn snarls along the way and a few weak hairs were rooted out. Survival of the fittest is my motto. She winced and screamed a little but she was watching Law & Order during the coloring process and last night’s episode was particularly gruesome. The show was gruesome! On TV!
Anyways, I found if I put one foot on the top of her head and pulled the dye applicator through the snarl with both hands, the offending hairs would eventually relent. Her hair is now a beautiful Ash-Blond and she thanked me through tears of joy and gratitude.
Ladies just let me know when you would like to set up an appointment. Each coloring application includes removal of weak hair at no extra charge. And you can watch whatever television you like. Except Lifetime of course.

I probably should know, but is Patti your wife or daughter?
Either way, they’re brave!
My husband let me perm his hair years ago, but don’t tell him I said so.
(He doesn’t lurk any of these sites, so I’m safe as long as no one who knows him here squeals. Aw, he’d probably not mind since it would just give him the opportunity to share -in detail of course- about having a friend perm it and getting called in to work before she was done =).
So, do we get to see the finished product?
with her contacts photo. That’s just for the rest of you though, I’ve already had a private ’showing’- extended version =).
I’m still waiting for Kass’s ‘new look’ (on ‘incahoots’

I like my Law & Order completely uninterupted, thank you. Although I’m sure Patti is dying to have you do this again. (Sorry, that was bad!)

I have a weird feeling that you might have put a more positive spin on this event that actual history did.

You the man Ric. Be sure to give us a play by play when you do a full leg waxing. Hers, not yours.

Law & Order uninterrupted? Hey, its not like you can’t watch it again in another hour. And again. And AGAIN.
William:
Patti stands by her man. I stand by my spin.
– When do you want your dying scheduled?

Anita… umm, I don’t do legs or wax.

Rick,
I would let you dye mine as there are no weak hairs. Oh, wait, there’s little hair left to die. Nevermind.
I’m sure your coloring expertise is to dye for.

i’m more impressed with your ‘multi-tasking’ ( you are male - right Ric???
) pouring in the dye whilst taking a correctly framed photo shot with your free hand?
There’s Talent right there!
You didn’t mention what Patti thought about her new ‘bald spot’ at back??

I guess I should have a poem day, inspirational day, stupid day, etc… like you have on your blog. But I pretty much suck at scheduling.

Patti
I just wanted to say that Ric did a great job with the dyeing of my hair. I appreciated his leaving the computer and chats with all of you just to spend sometime with me, doing my hair. Of course it saved me about 50 to 60 dollars, not to have to go to the hair salon.

Hmmm, it looks like KAY comments on YOUR blog too Ric.
WOW, small world.
You want to do MY hair??I am in need of a new stylist….. on second thought……

Hey Bandy,
Yeah, it [IE on our computer] remembered the joke I played on you when Patti put a comment in. Patti is my better half with the Ash-Blond hair.

Awww that’s adorable! My hubby washes my hair when I have to do it in the sink. I love his hair washes and make up excuses for needing to wash my hair in the sink versus doing it myself in the shower. HAHA. Shhhhhh that’s a secret =X

gchyayles, Yeah, what is it about having someone wash or brush your hair… I think everybody likes the sensation. Welcome to my blog. Not all of my posts are this serious.
