It's the second piece of equipment that I have for my future "kit." You see, everyone at the salon has their own little kit, and along with the other girls and boys, I want a complete kit of my own. Soon, this will consist of various combs, a paddle brush, maybe another smaller brush, an extremely expensive pair of scissors, clips, and perhaps a hair dryer and trimmers.
As for the pink and white stickers on the brush, it's to diffrentiate each person's set. Some will put their names on their things, others use nail polish or stickers.
A few days ago, I was talking to another apprentice about hair dryers. We were admiring two stylists' hair dryers. The sleekness of the shape, the weightlessness, the power, the texture of the piece. I felt like such a werido talking about something so silly as hairdryers with such detail. I think we laughed about it, but only to mask the truth- just that secretly, I want one exactly the same for myself, and maybe she had wanted a different one than the one she eventually settled on. It felt as though had Joe overheard the conversation, he would have teased me in the way I tease him about his love for the latest in geek technology. It's in admiration, I suppose, of what's out there.
