I'm hiding from my hair dresser!!

Happy March i have been so serious lately so i just wanted to lighten up a bit and laugh!!!
Ok, its a new month and i am thankful that i am here and for HIS blessings! You know i was in naija over the christmas break right and i so badly wanted to get tiny,tiny twisties done without breaking my bank so what better place than naija right? But for some reason i could not get myself to go to the hairdresser in IB. There were so many places, so i can't say there was not the opportunity, i can't say i was busy, hello i was on vaca right?
My older and younger sisters were like, lets go get your hair braided but i would make something up about why i could not make it. Slowly but surely the 18 day trip wound down to a saturday evening and i looked at myself thinking all my friends are gonna eat me alive when i get back to the states with my hair unbraided, because i had been bragging about it!! Heheeeee
Luckily for me, i went to naija with my friend J and we were supposed to stop over in NY, so i was like,J would hook me up with something!!
On coming back to the states, i finally told myself the truth about why i could not get my hair braided, and please don't take this unseriously because it is true.... I Sisinaija am afraid of my jamaican hairdresser!!!
There i said it. Now you wonder why i am afraid of her, well i will take you back to how it all started!!
I had this friend E in the navy who always sported fabulous hair and i asked her who it was she told me Madam S. I was like wow, that is fine! But i did not get converted.
My sis also in the navy, got a hairdresser's number from her friend and got her hair done and i was like wow... this is darn good, i mean her hair was silky and soft like oyinbo hair!! fo real! I asked for the gist and how much and the name and she said Madam S and i was like hmmmn, i don't know ooooooo
She was like go try her and see if you won't love your hair, well i did last year july. Now Madam S is a tough lady, retired military and all and i had heard she was hard core, but i was thinking "i am paying money for my hair, so she needs to be nice to me," right? I was wrong!
I called her up and asked for an appointment and she was like she needs to consult first.... i was like it's hair, but no, she wanted to know how badly i had been damaging my hair and what i would take for her to fix it.. Ok i obliged and took time just to go and have her look at my hair.... She gave me directions on how to get there and the directions got me lost, and late. I ended up calling this woman and asking her to just guide me there cuz i did not wanna waste anymore gas, this woman starts yelling at me, " i am busy, i don't like it when people show up late, it messes with my time, i don't need you, you need me" etc Hehehee Egbami ejjjjjjjjjooo!! This is not my mom ooooooo, this is a woman that i will pay money to! I could not believe my ears! Trust sisinaija to not take it lying down, i flipped on her and told her she could either stop screaming at me and guide me or i could just turn around and go back home and hang up on her... She calmed a little and came outside.. like ohh she had to drag herself out of a cave just to get there...
By this time, i had driven past her house like 10 times because she had kept saying small alleyway and i was looking for one "koro" that could not fit a car... Well, she goofed there cuz it was a back street that can comfortably fit two cars... Ahhhh ahhh!
I cannot finish this right now, i have to go to class but i cannot keep saving it, it's already the 7th!
I'll finish it later!
