<\/p>\nAt the end of a two week holiday with my darling Tinkerbell (My Best Friend), the last step in sharing My Big Fat Lie with you was to get to the hairdresser. For the last 35 years I have coloured my hair, and in the last twenty years coloured it to hide the greys.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In sharing my story, I felt that there was one part of my armour, my facade that I hide behind to fit in, the last of my war paint, that still needed to be removed. So I decided to take the plunge and embrace my silver fox and let my greys shine through.<\/p>\n
Now Tinkerbell had told me that her hairdresser was fabulous…she said, she was openly happy, just like me. So I made an appointment, counted down the days. However, nothing could prepare me for the dynamic young woman I was about meet.<\/p>\n
From the outside of Stacey’s salon, the shop looks like any other little shop, in any little street in any little town. You can’t see in the windows as they are covered with heavy drapes, and as I stepped onto the top step there was an antique birdcage with a few old books inside. It hinted to me that there might be something special behind this door…<\/p>\n
MAGIC<\/strong><\/p>\n Upon entering you are engulfed in Queen Stacey’s world. As she describes it, Pandora’s Box. In the middle of the ceiling hangs a gorgeous chandelier, and under that chandelier you soon hear the majestic voice of the queen herself.<\/p>\n “Hi Dee, you beautiful girl, have a seat and I will be with you for a moment.” \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n Now I had one of the loveliest afternoons in my life, chatting with Queen Stacey and her beautiful clients, the ladies of Monto. We were sharing stories, laughing, and at times I had a tear in my eye. I drank a cup of Queen Stacey’s coffee, and I don’t mind telling you, the coffee is fabulous! At times I actually forgot about the hair do that was taking place.<\/p>\n Then the great reveal came.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>![\"\"](\"https:\/\/theodeas.com\/Dee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Hair-Style-1-708x1024.jpg\" "\\"Hair")
