At the nail salon
Ended up at the nail salon tonight. As I was getting my eyebrows done, Jessica the tech says… “Lela, have you moved? I don’t see you pass the shop anymore.” My reply…”Jess you probably didn’t recognize me because I took the weave out. She looks at me shocked and says “All that big hair was a weave!?! But you had it in for so long.” And I go “Yes but my hair uncoiled reaches my shoulders.” She was still shaking her head at me and laughing in disbelief. I believe I really confused her.
