Making the Most of Your Hair Salon Visit

By: Adeea Rogers

As a kid, there was nothing worse for me than sitting under the hair dryer at the hair salon. I used to think of any reason to come out. However, my scheming and plotting only resulted in my incredibly thick hair still being wet when my hairstylist checked�much to my chagrin.

However, I now love my time under the hair dryer and entire salon experience. In fact, I am writing this as I sit under the dryer, listening to my iPod. Don�t think I�m weird or that the heat is making me delirious. But my 3 hours at the hair salon are some of the most meaningful time in my week. I�ve mastered how to best make use of a potential time waster.

I�ve seen my fair share of frustrated, bored and impatient people in the hair salon. Honestly, I�ve been that person too. We absentmindedly flip through year-old issues of Jet, Ebony and hairstyling magazines. However, this is no longer the case for me. As I�m ushered between the shampoo bowl, my stylist�s chair and the dryer, I usually accomplish some of my best and most important work. My time at the salon is about more than personal grooming; it is a time of personal, relational and spiritual development.

The best way to stay prepared for salon time is to have a tote dedicated to it. I am always looking for a reason to buy a new bag (smile). As magazines, articles or other materials come across your path; put them in your bag. That way you always have something to do or read when you go to the salon. Then on salon day, just put the bag in the car�and you are all set!

10 things to put in your salon tote
