WOW, it has been quite a day for me. As a birthday present, my wife arranged a consultation and make-up lesson at a place in Littleton (BTW, I highly recommend Hana Designs in Littleton), what an experience! I was a bit nervous about going, I had made up my mind that I was going to go dressed, the first time ever leaving the house dressed! I decided to keep it low key, a pair of tan jeans (yes they were men's, but who cares...), a white tank with lace edging, and tan sandals. It was chilly when we left, so I had a red chamois shirt on as we left. Now, I have relatively short hair and no make-up on, so I wasn't going to fool anyone. I have to say I felt strangely content, not at all concerned about being made.
So, off we went, the shop is about an hour (depending on how willing you are to speed) from where we live, we got there about 15 minutes before my appointment, I was impressed. Hana was sensitive and truly seemed to care, I felt that her only concern was making my wife and myself comfortable and at ease (Here is where I turn on my "gushing" filter, suffice it to say, she has my business for as long as she's in business!). Hana showed me several wigs, I had decided on red, both synthetics, but very realistic. The one I liked the best was out of my price range for now, the one I chose, Hana styled for me to look as good as my favorite, I think it looks awesome. Then it was time for my make-up lesson, Rachael did an awesome job, when she was done I looked pretty good.
My wife was there the whole time. This is a huge step for her, that she set this up for me is amazing, and that she was willing to go with me and stayed with me goes above and beyond. It just makes me love her more...
