Prep Day!

I showed up the next morning ready to work, and of course by work I mean sit around all day. It was prep day so the presentation models were all getting their hair done for the shows the following days and getting fitted for wardrobe.
When Steve ( the man who was showcasing my hair) showed me the colors he was doing my hair I freaked a little bit in my head, but still didn't worry too much about the shades of red. (I'm naturally a light light brown with blondish streaks and, as they referred to it, I had virigin hair). So I let them color my hair for the first time. The color had been custom made for me to make sure that I would look good and that it went well with my skin tone and eye color. However, when I looked in the mirror I almost died of shock. It was RED!!! and we are not talking subtle...
All in all it took about 7 hours for them to finish my hair then another hour or so in wardrobe. I had to hurry out of there to make it to work in time so I made it to work but took my uniform and stuff inside to change at work. My hair was still down ( I was going to pull it back since I did work in a restaurant), but before I got a chance, the owner saw my hair and his words to me were, "What the hell did you do to your hair?". Now my co-workers had just complimented me on it and at this point I was starting to get used to the color so I looked at him a bit funny for a second. I then told him what it was for and he informed me that until my hair was a more natural color he was taking me off the schedule and I would not be allowed to work because I had red hair.
I was furious and pretty sure that what he had just done was a little bit against the law. After several days of deliberation I called him up to let him know my hair was going to stay this color indefinitely and that I quit!
It was an interesting development, definitely not one that I had expected, but I made myself feel better by telling myself I was making more money off these 3 days than I would make in 2 weeks at that restaurant.
