Come to the Dark Side... We have cookies....

I have to commend Ulta Salon for letting me walk in for all of my appointments. I've lucked out with good stylists at the Natomas location for the last couple of months. And they all seem to know what they are doing without a whole lot of explanation. Especially from me, since I can't nail down a trendy hair style pick before it's suddenly not cool anymore. (Looks at the actress that plays Alice Cullen in the Twilight film and sighs.)

So of course I had to take advantage of their 40% color sale they were having, even though I just dyed my hair from a box shortly after Christmas. Unfortunately, I didn't have too much time to think about my color so I randomly picked two colors for mixes that might look good together. Caramel and Mocha Java. Well... it's good for Starbucks... maybe it's good for my hair.

Well... let's just say that it's dark. Very dark. I mean... it's fine. Kind of cool even. But just a bit shocking. It's not permanent, so it'll fade nicely. But the initial impact of my pale skin vs. my dark hair is jarring. I'll need to switch my make up a bit... otherwise I'm going to get Goth Chic comments.

At least she styled it nicely.
