MelRose Looks

THIS is what makes all my long days, overworked body, time away from my loved ones worth it! This sweet little boy that his mother chooses to bring to me and I get the pleasure of cutting his hair in front of the window, on the floor while he watches his tablet has severe autism and requires a lot of special attention. It certainly test a lot of my patience but it also makes me feel special that I was given the opportunity to love on this sweet child for a little while. He doesn’t allow many people the opportunity to be so up close and personal but today he sat in my lap the entire duration of his hair cut, in his own special world while I worked my magic and just spoke to him. I don’t know if he understands what I’m saying and it doesn’t matter. I just wanted him to know I’m here and I’ll do whatever it takes to make him feel safe and comfortable and relaxed so he can have the best haircut possible. Today was long and busy but this sweet baby made it all worth the effort I’ve poured my heart and soul in to. Thank you for trusting your babies with me 🥰

I just wanted to post this for all my Brides. 🤔 👰🏻🤵🏻 I never thought of offering non alcoholic drinks at my wedding. I’ll definitely be including a non alcoholic beverage list at the bar for my upcoming wedding 🥂

This weekend I went to a wedding at a friend's house. As we chatted with fellow guests, my partner and I stood in line at the bar.

"What can I get you?" the bartender smiled. "We have everything!"

"Great!" I cheered. I was thirsty. "Something non-alcoholic please."

The bartender's cheery demeanor immediately turned to one of perplexity. He wasn't expecting this, apparently. Befuddled by my request, he told me there was juice and water bottles in the cooler around the corner. So... the kids cooler.

Yea, I know the drill. I've been sober almost two years and I know all about the kids cooler. And yet I go into every social gathering, every wedding, every restaurant with almost a Pollyanna hope. Maybe the sober curious movement is making a ripple in the food and beverage industry. Maybe this time they'll have the non-alcoholic (NA) beer they said was out of stock last time. Maybe they've finally updated their menu to have NA options that are fun and flirty and celebratory.

But we still have a long ways to go, don't we? And at every social gathering, I still ask for my drink in a wine glass or a tumbler. And I ask for a lime wedge because, yes... it's more fun. And yes... it makes it look less like a kid's juice box and more like a grown up drink.

And yes, I don't drink but that doesn't mean my taste buds died. I still like festive drinks in fun glasses with pretty colors.

Yet more often then not, I wind up digging through the ice of a kids cooler, looking for something NA besides apple juice and Capri Sun.

You stand out if you're not drinking. You get questioned if you're not drinking ("are you pregnant?") You look and feel out of place, especially if you're new in your sobriety. Sometimes... you even get ridiculed or pressured to have one.

Being sober in a world that idolizes booze feels like a target on our back. A target I never asked to be there. A target I never expected.

Quitting drinking was hard. But navigating in this boozy culture as the only non-drinker at almost every event, networking party, every wedding? That's harder.

A little inclusivity would go a long way. Offering NA options at your party. Throwing out non-alcoholic suggestions when you offer to buy someone a drink? It's an easy, inclusive concept that might make a big difference for someone newly sober and struggling.

Time to change the narrative. Someone's reason for not drinking is none of our business. Let's offer more NA options and less sideways glances. It would go a long way.

Just a little info about me:

I say I’ve done hair my entire life, I grew up in hair salons assisting and became a licensed Hair Designer in 2010 graduating from The Process Institute of Cosmetology second in my class. From there I continued to work for the company affiliated with the school, Salon 124 Group/Genesis Salon. Because I love what I do I don’t consider it a job, it’s more like 2nd nature to me. I also thoroughly enjoy doing makeup and helping clients look and feel their best. My goal as a stylist is to educate you on how to maintain your desired style and offer you guidance on how to recreate the look at home. I love that my career gives me the opportunity to use my creativity to make people feel beautiful and confident while building lasting relationships with clients.
