I told myself last year when I cut my hair to a bob that I would NEVER wear long hair again!
Im eating my words.
I did something no one thought I would do.
I went back to long hair.
And I’ve had a lot of people curious why I decided to make that decision!
Its been 3 weeks since the big change. Now that I’ve let it marinate a bit I want to share my thoughts with you on the matter…
The biggest question I got asked was WHY?
I do transformations like this all the time in the salon. I love being able to put a smile on faces and often bring tears to their eyes. The possibility for enormous change can be physical but also very emotional.
but I’ve never felt that amount of change on myself.
I wanted to feel what it felt like to have a big transformation with NBR Extensions.
So I flew to Utah, and I booked and appointment with Mckenzie Sellers who has been mastering NBR Extensions for over 5 years.
It was my full intention to have a true “client experience” just like my clients receive. I sat in Kenzie’s chair as a guest, and gave her full control to do whatever she felt like would like best.
I initially found out about NBR over 5 years ago when Kenzie and I worked in the same salon in Utah.
We have stayed in touch ever since, and I owe everything to her for influencing me to do NBR after years of watching her from a distance.
I sent her pictures of my dream hair, and she did the rest!
It’s kind of an unspoken rule with the artists at NBR that when we visit other artists we pay them the full price they would charge a regular client.
We choose to do this because we respect each other’s time and craft but also we feel it’s important to have that same experience, that our clients have, including the investment. This helps us connect with our clients and understand the process of NBR on a personal level.
The most important thing that mattered was that it looked Natural. This is Kenzie’s specialty, all of her clients are natural and “lived-in” with a lot of depth!
She custom prepared 6 different shades for my hair in order to get the right amount of dimension and blend. The whole installation was very custom, she was even coloring the hair during the installation if things didn’t match exactly perfect.
So everyone wants to know how I like my new hair…
YES, it was a huge change!
But people who have known me for a many years weren’t too shocked. My hair was actually this long when I was in high school.
Except now it feels different. Why?
Its longer, fuller, and prettier than it ever was naturally, even when my hair was in my prime as a teenager!
At first I didn’t notice something.
But when my husband picked me up from the airport he pointed it out straight away…
My demeanor changed.
I was acting different, because I felt different.
My hair had never been this long and full before, and that made me feel amazing.
Because I felt so amazing it made my relationship with my husband even better.
It’s not that he loved me more because my hair was pretty, it was that because I felt good about myself that our relationship thrived off that.
My husband likes to call it the “NBR Magic”, because there was Kiki before NBR and Kiki after NBR, and they are definitely different women.
A highlight about this transformation is that my clients and I have been able to bond more over having long hair and extensions together.
We talk about the way we curl it, braid it, wear it to the gym, and even the infamous wash day.
