What It do good people of the blogging world?!?!?!?! I had the most epic weekend!!! Wanna know what I did?? I SPOILED MYSELF!!! This was supposed to be a weekend of pampering and all of the fun and it DID NOT disappoint.
I started off my weekend by first being off from work. I love my job but being able to sleep in on Saturday mornings is FREAKING AMAZING!!! I slept until 7ish(That’s sleeping in for me) and then proceeded to tackle the death mountain of laundry that has been chillin in the laundry basket forever. That doesn’t mean things were put away. It just means that things were folded… and then placed on my bed. HA!!! Laundry was not the plan for my new found weekend freedom. Oh Noooooooo nooooo nooooooooo. My plan was to get my hair done, and then go have girl time with some kick ass members from my running group. YAAAAAAAAAS!!!! Ya girl has BEEN READY FOR THIS!!!! BEEN READY!!!!
First exciting part of my day was getting this here hair DONE!!! Y’all my hair hasn’t seen a salon or anyone else’s hands for like 4 years. And the last time I went to the salon I got a BOMB ASS short cut. I have this thing were I follow stylist on instagram. I have been following this stylist named Julie for like 3 years. I started following her because her fro was the most BOMBTASTIC ASS FRO I had ever seen. Her hair was full with a SICK amount of body and all of her clients had the same BOMB ASS HAIR!!! I was like “I need to get TO HER!!! She has to do my hair!!!!” I was on her site every week trying to get an appointment and FINALLY one opened up and I SNATCHED IT with a quickness. I tootsie Rolled, cabbage patched and moonwalked for two weeks because I was just THAT DAMN EXCITED!!!I was trapped in funky ass Palm Beach so knowing that I was going to get to go home to have this hair genie do my hair was my saving grace. AND THEN…. Covid’s funky ass sat down and shut the whole gosh damn world down. Which means… My hair was not getting done. I still followed her on instagram though. Julie went through her highs and lows and wasn’t ashamed to talk about it which made me even more of a fan. 2 years later homegirl stepped back on the scene with a new attitude, new look, new energy, and A NEW SALON!!! I finally hit a patch where I had money and time TOGETHER and I made an appointment!!! I GOT AN APPOINTMENT YALL!!! ** insert tootsie roll, cabbage patch and moonwalk here** I didn’t get an appointment with Julie but with one of her other wizard stylist. I knew if they were on her team then they were FIYA because she does not do anything half way. My appointment was with Sade.
Let me show you my before pic really quick so you can see the foolery that this woman had to deal with.
Y’all see this?!?!?!?!?! 4 years I’ve been me battling it out with my hair and that was all about to change!!! I.COULD.NOT.WAIT!!!! I left home early so I could make it on time . I took the elevator up to the salon and was greeted with a wide open door and R&B music!!! Julie looked up from what she was doing and said “Come on in. Why everyone peek around the corner all scared like??” LOL!!! Its not a big salon but that did not take away from the vibe AT ALL!!! It was nothing but good energy that flowed in and out of that place. Everyone was in a seat and every stylist was handling business. I am an observer,So I loved that I was able to sit comfortably in the gold velvet club chair and watch these three amazing black women work magic on every head that they touched. There were twist outs, coils, glosses, silk presses and more. Their hands never stopped moving!!!
A few minutes after arriving, I was draped in the salons signature robe cover up and she took me to one of the two sinks to tackle the beast of hair. Y’all SOMEONE BESIDES ME WASHED MY HAIR!!!! Do you know how awesome it was to have someone else do that job?!?!?! FOR once it wasn’t my fingers to cramp up!!! She used some kind of peppermint shampoo and I could have cried real tears of joy… but I held it together. I don’t know what kind of conditioner she used… but the brush glided through my wet mass of hair with ease. Not one pull, snap, comb break…. NONE OF THAT!!!! It was like gosh damn butta!!!! Sade… AAAYE… how you do that?!?!?!?! There was like no hair struggle!!!NONE!!! She twisted my hair up and sat me under a dryer for a little bit and again I was able to watch all of these women do what they loved. Everyone in there was GORGEOUS but every woman that left those chairs left with a certain swagger that COULD NOT be matched!!! Wait wait wait let me back up a second. I GOT TO MEET JULIE!!!! She’s kind of a big deal and I completely fan girled out in my head but I held it together on the outside… Or at least I think I did. I was in the presence of the freaking HAIR QUEEN!!!!! I had so many questions and was DYING to ask her everything but homegirl was working magic on another woman’s hair . Music continued to pump through those speakers and Sade continued to work her awesome magic on my hair. She was so amazing and nice and more than happy to let me in on the know about my hair and what it needed. She was easy to talk to, super nice and funny. She took that towel off my head and I was like “Ok here we go. Nows the real test.” Y’all… YAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
I was trying to figure out “How are your hands not tired yet?? Not one cramp?? None?!?!?!?!” She wrangled the beast like it was nothing. I have a lot of hair and its THICK, IGNANT… Yes I said IGNANT and it fights back. She handled it LIKE THE BOSS SHE IS!!!! She took her time and went through piece by piece and had me walking out of there feeling like gosh damn Beyonce!!!!
Do you see this?!?!?! Do you see this??!?!?!?!?! I can feel my scalp!!! Look!!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOK!!! I walked out of there feeling like a MF black goddess rockstar!!! ** swings hair left and right** THANK YOU CITRYNE ROSE for opening your doors. Thank you Julie because your vision was manifested and AMAZING!!! Thank you Sade for taking such amazing care of me and my hair.
Alright So I left the magical salon and RUSHED to go pick up my girl Crystal because we had a birthday bash to get to in Delaware. We were so late. Like beyond regular black people late. Completely missed the sexy dance class… Like all of it. So we did the next best thing. We stopped at a gas station, changed to our dinner dresses, retouched the makeup and met up with everyone for the dinner celebration. We were late to that too BUT we made it and had the most amazing time celebrating our friend Cardi. Cardi is the most amazing soul on this planet. She’s a wonderful woman, teacher, mother, athlete, friend… she’s a FUCKING ROCKSTAR!!! She is the giant personality in a TINY body. Dont let that “tiny” Fool you though. She can JACK YOU UP without blinking and keep it moving. It was so awesome to celebrate her and laugh and just let loose with our running sistas!!! Cardi was amazing and let me and Crystal crash at her place so we wouldn’t have to drive back to Jersey so late. Cardi was like “I have a dog you guys but he loves humans” I was like “I ALREADY LOVE HIM!!!!!” YAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL his name is Junior and he’s this beautiful giant brown and white pitty!!!!! I loved all on that dog. He got all of my belly rubs and hugs and kisses. He even slept outside of the room. If he heard me or Crystal move, he would walk in to check on us and then go lay back down to sleep.
Me and Crystal were up early so we wouldn’t take up too much of Cardi’s time. This was her day to CHILL OUT and we wanted her to have ALL OF HER TIME!!! After we said our goodbyes and gave hugs we looked at each other and said “BREAKFAST!!!!!!!” We filled the car up with gas and hit the road to Bob Evans.
We ordered some of everything. There was NO ROOM on our table!!! We ate everything that was in front of us and then had stuff to bring home!!! I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Crystal is the most wondermous hilarious soul!!! She has amazing taste in music, is just as goofy as I am, we both turn into two random old ladies at the simplest things and SHES THE MOST AMAZING SPIRIT!!!! Yeh we have more road trips coming up. I was able to let loose and unwind this weekend and it has been a really long time since I have done that. I was able to TREAT MYSELF to black girl joy and share in others black girl joy and there is NOTHING… NOTHING more amazing that that.
