So yesterday was one of those bizarre-o days straight out of the "Twilight Zone" or should I say the "Final Frontier." I drove to Fairhope yesterday to get my hair cut and colored at the swanky
Nou Veau Par La Rive Salon and Day Spa. I walked in and to my delight they had MUZAK programmed on "The Best of the 80's." I sat down in a plush leather chair after being offered a beverage of my choice to which I said, "No thank you, I'm good." Just as I was drifting off into a world where George Michael, Prince, and Madonna were serenading me, there it was: my hairstylist. A 5 ft 11' gentleman named Arthur. I was startled...OK OK I'm being euphemistic. I was shocked and speechless! My body went numb and I stopped breathing ( I was holding my breath). So I was extremely uncomfortable... Not because my leather chair was beginning to mold to my legs---not because of Arthur's gender or his Clay Aiken-like accent and swagger. Nope. It was his appearance that caught me off guard to say the least. He was in full costume and let me just go ahead and say that he was the ONLY one dressed up. "What was he wearing?", you ask. Standing before me grinning from ear to ear was a grown man, a professional hairstylist and master colorist, dressed from head to toe like Dr. Spock from STAR TREK!!! OMG!!! I began to panic on the inside and I made a joke to myself since none of my friends were with me to witness this display. In my current state of "Fight or Flight" under my breath I said, "Beam me up Scotty!" Oh and by the way, he heard me. Oh dear. Anyway, he is a "Trek-y"----no seriously, I'm not kidding. He came to work already dressed for an early Halloween party he was to attend that night. The above photo should give you an idea of what I was faced with that immediately leveled and squashed any and all excitement and hopeful anticipation of a killer hair cut. NouVeau Day Spa not only shocked me but also left me in awe. Three things I would like to leave you with: 1) Dr. Spock(Arthur) has mad color skills and I am loving the color. 2) Dr. Spock is "scissor happy" and cut off alot of my hair--but it is the best cut I have ever had. In the words of Sheryl Crow: The First Cut is the deepest..." To that I say, "Baby, I know!" and 3) No one has things like this happen to them in real life. Only me.... Who else can say that Spock gave them an "out of this world" cut and color. But hey, I love a good story! Here's a little something to leave you with...
Space. The Final Frontier....
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.
It's continuing mission
To explore strange new worlds...
To seek out new life...new civilizations...
To boldly go where no one has gone before!
