I went to Grand Rapids last night to the Douglas J. Aveda Institute to get my hair highlighted by Kara. It was amazing. First of all, walking into the place felt a million miles away from Muskegon. I felt like I was in Chicago or something. It was awesome. Everything smelled amazing. She foiled my hair with highlights and then toned it to make it "honey blonde" and it looks gorgeous. She straightened my hair for me and honestly, my hair looks so amazing. I'm BLONDE again. I will go back to her until I can't anymore and will have to have her tell me how she did all of it so that I can continue to get my hair done like this. I love it. It was "complimentary" because it was my first-time! So I bought some straightening balm from them. It doesn't smell that good though - I'll have to go back someday and get whatever she put in my hair that makes it smell so freaking amazing. Blah! I love it. It was so good to see her too - I honestly love that girl.
