Beauty Secrets for the Cheap and Ugly
Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought:
"Ugh,when did I get so ugly?"
Well this rarely ever happens to me. But the other day I was visiting a girl friend and I'm sure she was having one of those days.
How did I know, you ask? Well, aside from the fact that she looked like a hung over 15 year-old-with-a bad-case-of-puberty-acne, she kept fishing for compliments.
You know the type, come on we've all done it:
"God I feel fat today!" or "do my jeans look too tight?"
How about the old standard: "My hair needs a cut so badly, but I just don't have the time!"
More like she doesn't have the cash, I thought to myself.
So, being the diplomatic, charismatic, sympathetic, (yeah, right) friend that I am, between little nibbles of my cheesecake and coffee, I made a suggestion to her.
"Did you know that hairdressing schools and esthetic schools have great deals and wonderful talents in the making?" I said.
Her interest immediately piqued.
"Really?"
Yeah right, she didn't have the time!
"Oh yeah! You can get the best massages and manicures for peanuts." I hoped she could afford peanuts.
"Well, I was mostly interested in getting my hair done, but these damn hairdressers charge what they have to pay to their therapist for 'help-get me out of the closet sessions.' Can your believe it?!"
I looked down at my coffee, with had the aroma of vanilla nut, yummm.
I picked it up took a sip, looked at her and thought 'God, are we having one of those coffee moments!" I felt nauseous.
"Look ", I said turning to my ugly friend, who needed more than a hairdressers help, "Their hairdressers are great..why don't you give them a call and make an appointment for a consultation. Besides, the instructors are right there, to help guide the students. You can't go wrong."
Little did she know that the instructors were bad hairdressers that couldn't hold a job anywhere and needed someone to blame when shit went wrong. The trainees are nothing more than a perfect escape.
She took a bite out of her cheesecake, like she really needed it.
She looked up at me and said: "Hey you know what? I've got nothing to lose. Give me their number, I'll give them a call."
And with that my ugly friend began having regular visits to the school/salon that tried to make her look half decent.
And even though she needed a plastic surgeon more than a hairdresser and esthetician, today she is well manicured from head to toe.
Now these schools exist everywhere in the world. Just open your local phone book and under "schools" or "esthetics" you'll find the closest one near you.
Please bear in mind though, they, nor anyone else for that matter can create miracles. So if you look like Roseanne, please don't go there expecting to walk out like JLO!
Ciao for now...hugs and kisses..the queen of cheep thrills!
