Non Cozumel Related Rant
A Slight Digression Rant, NCR
A new friend of mine is opening a salon here on the island. I’m always thrilled about new salons since it gives me a chance to wreck my hair all over again.
Seriously, I can’t even keep count of the variety of hair colors I’ve rocked throughout the years. They’re generally some variety of blonde, ranging from baby chick yellow, to, in one case, an unfortuante shade of green (thank you, Victor!) There was even the year of RED, which I’d rather not talk about….
Anyhow, here’s my beef with hairdressers. The first thing they always say to you is “So what are we going to do with your hair today?”
“Um, you tell me, YOU went to beauty school!” Seriously, when I drop the car off at the mechanic, it would never occur to me to give him pointers, tips or any sort of direction. Same for the guys who paint my house. Why do hairdressers always ask that question?
It puts pressure on me, to have some limited knowlege, and frankly, I never read all those articles in “Glamour” and “Vogue” like 7 hairstyles for every face shape.
If I possessed these facts (and the skill set) would I still even need you?
Let’s hope today hair wrecking goes a little different.
Oh, and for those of you who don’t lurk all day and every day on Cozumel Chat boards, NCR, means Non-Cozumel Related. That’s your nugget of knowledge for the day!
An ex-Connecticut Yankee who has called Cozumel home for over 18 years, Laura ran away to the Caribbean years ago, bumped around the islands teaching SCUBA diving, lost some time in Jamaica, and finally stopped in Cozumel for a 2 week vacation that hasn’t ended yet. With a degree in Journalism from a fancy private college she convinced her parents to pay for, Laura writes, edits, and creates the weeklyCozumel 4 You news,social media, and promotional articles about the island, as well as moderates the Cozumel 4 You Facebook group, which currently has over 25,000 members. Her long suffering husband, Fabian, has long since resigned himself to having zero private life, as he’s been involved in her various schemes and plots since his arrival. Proud parents to a variety of rescue dogs and cats, Laura continues to be the bane of her traditional Mexican mother-in-law’s existence, as she muses her way through life in the Mexican Caribbean.
