Today is sunday and I am going to get my hair relaxed at the hair dresser. "Let's go Nicky!" She loudly said as she was grabbing the car keys."I'm coming ma!" I shouted back. I decided to wear a  blue short dress with my black sandals and I brushed through my hair and let it go with the bouncing curls. I got in the car and we drove off. The salon was three miles from our house, we lived in a private area so most places are miles away except the school and hospital. My mom gave me her smirk had  she always does when she  is excited." So?what style would you like?" She asked," I don't know exactly, oh! I want a Bob hair cut except it won't be on equal length, one end is going to be longer and I want my hair to have blonde edges." I said excitedly with my face lit up with happiness. She silenced me with an assuring smile to what I said.

We arrived finally after a twenty minutes of silence in the car.
... The lady was very sweet she was of really dark complexion and had deep dimples, and she had really curly hair. " hello, is this Nicole? " she asked sweetly, " yes I am." She smiled and told me to sit in the chair in front of her. I sat down while she was mixing up a cream in a jar container , it smelled like all sorts of chemicals. She put on a pair of gloves, put a oil around my hair line and put a towel around me so it could cover my neck and shoulders. After about 15 minutes she was ready to blow dry and iron my hair, it didn't hurt at first but while the cream was processing I burnt a little. "Hunny you okay?" Asked my mom who fell asleep through half the process. " I am actually." I chuckled, but I am really hungry can I have a watermelon mint salad with an orange juice please, she smiled and got up to go get it at a store we past while coming.

"So what style do you want today?" The hair dresser asked, " I want a long side and a short side Bob if you know what I mean." I asked with a stern face,  she said yes. I sat while she clip my edges , I almost broke down , my hair is now officially cut, for the first. My mom came back with my food and she bought a green herb smoothie for her self.
"Here you go." She said looking at my hair with a an amazed face. "Do you like it?" I asked unsure of her answer,"I do!! She exclaimed louder than she ever spoke, she took pictures and post it, my mom is obsessed with my hair and hers so it is expected. We went home to show my dad and brother, they smiled and complimented me , I felt special and great a feeling I have never felt before,but I guess new beginnings give new emotions.
