Yesterday,
I told you that I was going to get my hair cut. What I didn’t tell you was that
I was getting it done at the cosmetology school. My mom recently went there and
had great results. So I decided to have the same girl cut my hair.

The
thought of going to the school was a bit uncomfortable. After all, I grew up
going to a high-end salon every 5 or 6 weeks. Going to the school was clearly a step down. How much of a snob
am I? Do you realize the ridiculousness of these feelings? I mean, I haven’t paid
to cut my hair in over 2 years because I’m too cheap and lazy and I Flowbee my son’s hair (again… no I’m not kidding.)
What
is more uncomfortable than going to the school for the haircut is admitting
that these thoughts went through my mind. It’s so sad to realize that even
though I don’t believe I act like a snob, I subconsciously think like one.
Really,
if you think about, we all have prejudices and stereotype people and situations
based on our upbringing. And we typically don’t admit it to each other. So how
do we rise above it and change the thoughts we naturally have? I guess by taking our thoughts captive and proving
ourselves wrong.

My
haircut and style rocked… I mean how cute do I look? Not only did the stylist
do a great job, but she taught me how to use my flatiron to put these super-cute
waves in my hair. AND it only cost me $13 plus a $5 tip. Awesome! Plus I met a
really cool girl and gave her the opportunity to practice her craft. It’s
amazing what can happen when we get over ourselves, don’t you think?
What
prejudice or stereotype do you need to work on overcoming?
