I left the salon 10 years younger than when I walked in. Upon arrival, the stylist asked what I would like done with my hair. I stated that I would like to look younger than when I arrived, aka: hide the gray, diminish the appearance of wrinkles, and add a spring to my step. The day after my appointment, a colleague and I met with a client. We work for an IT managed service provider and as we were discussing the importance of end-user security along with the training that we offer, I mentioned the struggles of remembering passwords. I explained my love of all things related to password managers and 2 factor authentications, as gray hair seems to leach memory. The client noted to my colleague that I was referring to the two of them. Unbeknownst to the client, my colleague is my junior and far less gray than I. The proof is in the pudding, or in this case the paddle that was expertly slathered with age defying Aveda hair color and artistically applied to the crown this youthful spirit with a spring in her step.
