Oh Dear

[przed]

Finally called my hair stylist for a long needed hair cut. Only to discover she's no longer at the same salon.

This is what comes of going a year between cuts.

I'm just hoping her former partner calls me back and knows where she is, 'cause Cap was the only person I've trusted to cut my hair for nearly twenty years.

::sigh::

I feel your pain.

The lady who had been my stylist for eight years or so up and moved to North Carolina. I cried!

But she didn't like North Carolina, so moved right back, and went back to the same salon. "Don't every leave me again!" I wailed, embracing her feet, and she hasn't. Thank goodness.

I hope you have the same happy ending I did! It's just as difficult to train a stylist as it is to train a husband. "You want it HOW short?"

I followed the bloke who cut my hair in uni to 6 different salons. Then he had the bad manners to move to Ottawa and alas, never moved back.

My current stylist was the only one I've ever had who would cut my hair really, really short. Like Annie Lennox short. Every other one would point out that I have a freaking huge scar down the back of my neck, and didn't I want to hide it? Cap just got on with it and cut it as short as I liked.

At least at the moment all I really need is to have the ends straightened out, the advantage of longer hair, I suppose.

Mine is even shorter than Annie Lennox's; I've worn it that way for 39 years (since I graduated from high school) since I just can't be bothered. So why do people who aren't my regular stylist, Charlotte the Blessed, persist in asking me, "Are you sure?" It grows, dammit! A haircut is not forever!

Sounds like Charlotte the Blessed is awesome. Much like Cap.

I've had my hair dead short for the past 15 years, but I occasionally have blips where I grow it long. This is one of those times. (This time started because I have no time to get a hair cut, and has continued because I'm curious at to when exactly it's going to start driving me freaking nuts.)

The whole having to actually brush it/condition it thing is starting to lose it's novelty, though. When it's short, I don't even bother with a brush or comb. Just run my fingers through it once and consider it sorted.
