After one year, two months, and ten days, I finally went to the hairdresser. We are both fully vaccinated and we both wore masks, because I wanted it that way. However, my mask had to be removed for my huge cut. My hair was in the way. I’ve been going to Joseph for 20 years. We had a lot of laughs and catching up to do. INext time, I will have a late appointment and stay for a martini with him and his husband. His salon is attached to his beautiful house. I feel sooooooo good!

I knew I was going to wear a mask, so slapped on a tiny bit of makeup. Rotten makeup job, but thanks.

Thank you. It is a huge improvement! I cut my husband’s hair. What’s left of it.

So beautiful - you look amazing!!! I miss my asymmetrical haircut . . . it would be maybe a couple inches shorter than yours, and one side would even be shorter than that. But I honestly don't know if that Italian hairdresser is around anymore - she didn't even have time for me before covid . I'm glad you got to reunite with Joseph after so long - I hope he and his hubs have been doing well all this time!

@DianneN Yah, I miss that cut. Well, they "say" things are way better ... CA is supposedly reopening fully mid June. I don't know if I see that as a good thing - it makes me VERY nervous . In any case, we will still remain cautious - mainly I don't trust human behavior . . . will try to navigate through this weird world but safely as possible. Wow, Joseph recovered fairly quickly but yes, it is lifetime monitoring now. His hubby must be big time smarty! I don't blame you . . . no matter how much we may trust certain people/businesses, we can't trust the virus - that's the scary part .

I remember your telling me of your asymmetrical haircut. I’m sure you rocked it. Are things better where you are? Joseph had bladder cancer about 4 months ago and went for a test this morning before I got there. He is cancer free, but must continue with testing. I was shocked and so sorry for him. His husband is going to M.I.T for yet another degree. He was there and invited me in for coffee, but I passed. Still cautious about being out and about. Joseph has been opened for business since October. Just couldn’t go. How are you all doing?

@oahuwriter Actually, he’s been in business since October. My son has seen his hairdresser every two weeks all year. We’ve been pretty lucky with covid here. I was just overly cautious as usual.

@DianneN Yes I've been vaccinated. They required an appointment and a mask plus you had to wait outside where I got the haircut. There are still precautions being taken in some places. But yeah I'm really glad I got vaccinated.
