Getting What You Ask For

Mom has been asking me to get her hair permed. I have ignored her requests for 3 months or more. I offered to give her a perm and she didn't want me to do it. The only place that I could find that still perms is JC Penny Salon. I made her an appointment and off we go. I very clearly told the stylist not to leave the rods on longer than 5 minutes. The stylist was very agreeable and promised. She listened when we told her that mom really just wanted soft waves and body. I guess mom's hair is super sensitive, maybe it's the meds, anyway her hair curled. It curled into tight little ringlets. The stylist instead of putting conditioner on it and using rollers blew it dry. Talk about cotton candy. What a mess. All mom could say is "Don't listen to me when I ask for something anymore."
