#Pixiequeen

Lately I have been giving these sort of shout outs and writing these love letters of sorts, and that's just what this is...soooo...
There has been a lady in my life that has helped me TREMENDOUSLY in my path to healing and I don’t even think she has realized it and I am super bummed to say goodbye to her. 
This woman has helped build me up after every surgery and helped me stay confident and feel pretty.
Without Sheena, I would be a horrible crying mess of a person. 
  • My meds make my hair fall out. 
  • I have had electrodes stuck onto my scalp more times than I care to count. 
  • I have had my head shaved by nurses and I have had 3 brain surgeries…. 
...And every time I have gone back to Sheena, in tears (or close to it) about these things and she has fixed me. 


And she fixed my hair for my wedding! That’s how it all started. I needed my hair fixed, and she fixed it… but before my appointment, I had a seizure. A crazy violent seizure that caused me to be taken to the hospital via ambulance. And the beauty school student in me (that’s right for those of you that didn’t know, I’m actually a certified cosmetologist) was worried about messing up her schedule so I texted her from the ER and let her know I wouldn’t be at the appointment and she said “Why are you texting me from the hospital? Please take care of yourself!”  But I didn’t want her to think that as a new client, I was a total flake- turns out that was not her concern at the moment, her concern was me. Once I was better, she found a slot for me and she fixed my hair. And my hair was perfect for my wedding!
She has always been aware of and concerned about me and my epilepsy and asked about the signs to watch for and what to do if I have a seizure. SHE IS AMAZING.
Every single time I leave her chair, I feel beautiful. I could be in my crappiest clothes without makeup on and she could do my hair and I would feel like Cinderella after the Fairy Godmother waved her wand.
She is just wonderful and I wanted to make sure she got a proper shoutout. 
When I was first diagnosed with my epilepsy and my hair was falling out and I was a hot mess, I would seriously cry about my hair 2-3 times a week, I couldn't even brush my own hair sometimes because it upset me so much, so Randy would have to brush it for me- but I don’t think that has happened since she very confidently told me I could rock a pixie cut and I haven’t looked back. 
Like I said, Sheena has helped me feel pretty which sounds shallow but in this sort of situation it has helped the healing.
And she is so fun to be around. I absolutely love my appointments with her. She is just the best. 
I am so happy that I had an awesome co-worker (shout out to Amanda!) that gave me Sheena's name.
Thank you Sheena for kicking ass and making me feel gorgeous every single time I leave your chair. You are the best!
