close enough to serendipity

wikipedia: Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally stumbles upon something fortunate, especially while looking for something entirely unrelated.

recently i've been thinking of having a hair cut. im so bored with my same-length hair, i was thinking of getting layers to lighten the load and also create shape.

i mentioned before that i was looking up free haircuts online, and i did find some. however, none of those links were successful because none of them that i tried to contact got back to me.

then yesterday after class as i was walking towards the tube station, a woman approached me, introduced herself as a trainee hairstylist and asked if i wanted a free perm. i hesitated a moment because what i wanted was just a haircut, not a perm.

but then again, i do quite like big wavy curls, and i felt that my hair was long enough to pull it off, so i agreed to do it for her. i asked if i could do any perm i like and she said yes. also i asked if she could cut my hair (because i was still after a haircut. wtf.) and she said she could, but we would have to make another appointment after the perm.

so i agreed to let her perm my hair. i know how expensive perms are, having done it before myself, so i would kick myself silly if i refused a FREE perm. my only qualms are if she screws it up, so imma go for huge wavy curls halfway down the length of my hair because those kinda curls dont last long anyway. that way, if she screws up, i can either chop it off or wait till it straightens. *smug about smart thinking*

eh, so scary, she (the hairstylist) just called me while i was typing this post. she wanted to confirm if i was still in for it. haha... she sounded so so happy to have found a hair model. but i guess im the ideal candidate la. hair all one length, hair highlighted but that was nearly 2 years ago, so nearly all gone, rebonded but also nearly 2 years ago; so i have practically virgin hair! *perasan*

she's so excited, and so am i! hope i dont regret this. better take more "before" pictures. wtf
