Continued Hairapy

In my last post, I talked about the inspiration behind my first hair trail.   I went into the appointment determined to communicate my vision to the stylist, and even though I was more vocal than usual, I found that I didn't get exactly what I wanted.  As a reminder, here is what I was going for:

And here is what I got:

Hmm....it wasn't bad, but Mrs. Cherry Pie, I was not.  It looked nice and all, but it just wasn't what I asked for.  Despite the fact that Mama Pudding liked it a lot (and she does not "like" easily), I think that I need to take a little bit more time to explain exactly what I like about the Cherry Pie hair style for our next trial.  I mean, looking at a picture for 30 seconds cannot possibly be enough for my stylist to understand what I am going for.  Sister Pudding is definitely coming to my next hair trail - she is going to be my personal hair translator :P

I do have to say one thing for this hair style though:  it held up ALL night!  I took the train from Toronto to Montreal right after the trail, and than Mr. Pudding and I drove from Montreal to Vermont.  After the seven hour journey (which included a couple of cat naps), my hair still looked pretty much perfect.  Take a look for yourself:

Perhaps I should re-evaluate?  What do you think?  Did your first hair trail go as expected?
