A Little Bit Of Fun At The Salon

[Guest NatashaJade]

One of the things I am conscious of as I grow my hair longer is the need for the occasional visit to the salon to clean up the ends of may hair and keep it all growing healthy. So today, as my stylist was washing my hair, I asked her if she did eyebrows. Of course, she said yes and asked me what I wanted. I told her they were a bit too bushy and I would like them shaped a bit and cleaned up. So after she finished with my hair, she took care of my eyebrows. Now while I wanted them styled feminine, I still present male and all I could ask for was a cleaner look. Still, it was a lot of fun to have them done, my first eyebrow waxing! And even if they are not totally feminine, they are far less masculine, which is my goal. To slowly take away the male look and reveal the woman underneath.

As someone said to me about coming out, it's all about baby steps. Each little thing I do, each little experience, is a wonderful little baby step.

Just thought I'd share!

The first time I got my brows waxed I had just

gotten my mid back length hair shortened to my

shoulders and asked about brow waxing.She first

took only a little for shaping and I asked for more.

She is a Japanese lady and she looked at me and

said'' What you want to look like girl?" I smiled and

told her yes ma'am I certainly do. Then I told her

who I am. LOL I love the salon experience Gin.

Hi, Gin!

Wow, I can totally relate to this. Well, actually, I ALREADY had long hair before I came out. Even as a guy, I prefer to wear my hair long. But as far as feminizing myself, I DID get my hair layered and I got my bangs cut shorter, and the stylist ACTUALLY told me she didn't want to cut my bangs as short as I asked for, because it would look girly lol. Then she said she would make my style look rugged for me. Ugh! So, when we went to go wash my hair and it was just the two of us, I told her I wanted a softer look than what I thought she was describing. In the end, I look more feminine, but not TOO feminine. Perfect!

Oh, and I also shaved my goatee off and got my eyebrows waxed too that week. Yep, I do have to agree. Each little experience is precious.

Kisses,

Belle

That reminds me. When I went to get my eyebrows waxed, I had them wax my face too (which was pointless, cuz I'd just shaved) and the girl goes, "You boy! You no do that!" and I was like, "Well, I'm asking you to do it and I'm going to pay you to for it, sooooo..."

Maybe one day, I'll be as brave as you were, Angie.

Well, unfortunately, I guess that I'll not be a salon type of gal.....

I've always wore my hair long and back into a ponytail....

I have no intrest in cutting it at all..

When I want a style I slip on one of my wigs!

Maybe I'd go for eyebrows, but I'm having them shaped by my electrolysis girl and just making it permanant...

I guess that a salon just isn't my style....

Well, some of us do and some of us don't!

Congrats on getting the Brows done Gin. I have been wanting to get mine done but haven't had the time lately. You are moving right along with the baby steps.

The hardest part for me was when she first showed me the mirror after she was finished and asked if I wanted them shaped anymore. I really wanted her to go all the way, but I am on a slow boat right now, so I bit my tongue and said it looked great. Someday...

I think the best part of it all is that I have so little in the way of a beard left that I am really able to see the woman coming through, even in the unforgiving mirror at the salon.
