Re-purpled
Eriko and me
It’s been a few weeks since I first had my hair dyed purple in Tokyo, and it had already faded quite a bit. So, when we returned to Tokyo for the last bit of our trip I stopped by Nalu Style Salon 76 to see if there was any chance they could dye it again before I return home.

I don’t know when I’ll get to visit Japan again, but when I do, I’ll go back to Salon 76 and have my hair done by her again.
