Ladies, for those of you early in your transition let me share yet another story from the vault.
Today's episode is about getting beauty help. Emma has found Donna which is super wonderful fantastic.
But for the rest of you or ( if Donna should win the lottery ) there are other sources.
In 1991 I went to someone's home and had a cross dressing makeover complete with fashion show. It was fun but those are just for play.
If you are serious about beauty help in most major and midsize cities there are usually those that cater to transgender people. But even better most of the large chain beauty places such as Ulta and Sephora LOVE helping us. The young women that work there practically knock each other over trying to get to us when we walk in the door.
I am serious. A gorgeous 28 year old was the first one to help me and we became friends. I was HERS but all of the other staff were so friendly to me whenever I came by. Hugs all around. The same is true where I go for my hair.
Don't be scared, they LOVE us. Just stick with either specialty places or the major chains. You will be fine.
I will look for a pic of me when I first started going and got my brows done. It is pretty hilarious.
