When I was young, my mother cut my hair. She had 2 styles. Crew cut (hate it!) and Bowl cut (at least it was not a crew cut). I remember going off to college and getting a girl to cut my hair, I actually could tell her how I wanted it! (Although I was clueless at the time).
Then came post College and I was not going to get a MOM cut! So I was recommended to a stylist that was my mother's friend. She was a professional! But I did not know what she looked like, so I got another one (did not know it at the time) Brenda. Want to know what Brenda looked like? Dolly Parton and add 50 pounds. I thought that was my mom's friend!
But she did a good job and I went to her for years. Habit. She knew how I liked to cut my hair. I stopped when getting an appointment became an ordeal. Since then, I have wandered from barber to barber, and frequent the places that do it right. but in the last 5 years, I have probably had a dozen different "hair Stylists". I am not a very loyal customer (but I do tip if they do it well).
Now take my wife (no, not literally!). She has been going to a hair stylist for the last umpteen years. This hair stylist is 45 miles away! Does she switch now that gas is $3/gal? not on your life! She spends $20 in gas for her do! I will say that either her hair is naturally beautiful (I think that is the truth) or her stylist is good. But not that good! (I pay from $4-$10 per cut).
What is it with Women and their hair? They have to have that one person who can do it right because they have been doing it right? I think not. I found out that many women can. And some men. But many don't either. But hair grows, so even mistakes are short lived.
Not for women! Hair is forever! Oh well, I will write the check so she can have her hair dresser do it right. She does have beautiful hair.
