My hair had grown out to that in-between stage, and I had been struggling with bad hair days for at least a couple of weeks. I had to time my next cut, though, because I have a family wedding to go to July 9. Must have good hair for that!
So on Friday, my last weekday off before the big event, we made our way to Cuts & Colors, 402 Mohawk St., Herkimer, where we had made an appointment with our hairdresser, Jackie Williams. Jackie has done our hair for a number of years now. So nice to have a regular stylist who knows the look you want.
Cuts & Colors is a full service salon. It’s an open, airy place with hardwood floors and big windows so you can check out what’s going down on Mohawk Street. At least, I can check it out till I take my glasses off to get my hair washed and cut. Never do remember to put contacts in for these things. The stylists are all friendly, and it’s the kind of chatty place I particularly like.
As always, I brought up my sister who wants me to dye my hair to take the grey out. I dyed my hair for years, just for fun, because the few greys I had at the time weren’t particularly noticeable. I usually did the L’Oreal Light Auburn, with occasional forays into other shades. Now I embrace the grey, and Jackie says it looks distinguished. Who can you believe if not a hairdresser? Wouldn’t she recommend an expensive color treatment with regular touch ups that I would undoubtedly pay her to do, if that would really look nice?
Steven got his hair cut too, so we both looked pretty when we left the place. Um, Steven looked handsome. I looked… well, I was finally having a good hair day.
Cuts & Colors is open 11 am to 4 pm Sunday, 9 am to 8 pm Monday through Friday, and 9 am to 6 pm on Saturday. You can call 315-866-8514 for information or an appointment. You can also like them on Facebook.
