(Her salon was at the top of a very steep staircase, and as I have MS they eventually got the better of me) She was brilliant, and I really didn't want to look for anyone else. So after years of having my hair dyed and styled I decided to go for the 'natural ' look. I discovered that my once previously auburn hair was now a mixture of black and silver. (I'd never had black hair in my life) Anyway, I decided to go with the flow, and now, at 71 I have waist length hair, which is very easy to manage. I've recently dyed it pale lilac, so if you need anyone to scare the kiddies at Halloween, you know where to find me.

My hair grows fast, too, and I finally got sick of the whole process. These days Hubby trims it straight across the back, I cut my own bangs, and if it looks awful I blame the humidity and my natural wave. It's a solution. Not a particularly good one, but a solution nonetheless. ;-)Diane Hendershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07563115165301223420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-62165847009037930082017-06-11T14:26:42.824-03:002017-06-11T14:26:42.824-03:00I've tried that and the problem is getting wor...I've tried that and the problem is getting worse!

So thank goodness for copy/paste ... here it is in a slightly different format:<br /><br />Steve Reed has left a new comment on your post "Whiny Little Complainer":<br /><br />I am my own hairdresser, so I just can't give any advice here! LOL! Maybe you should just have a conversation with your hairdresser and tell her what you don't like, and allow her to suggest some things? She may have ideas for remedying the "mushroom" problem.<br />jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-16857440774669815742017-06-09T22:26:29.886-03:002017-06-09T22:26:29.886-03:00Maybe ... but maybe not THIS unhappy? :) She's...Maybe ... but maybe not THIS unhappy? :) She's very good, as I said, very precise, and that's a big plus in my book. I think I need to spend more time talking to her before she starts cutting and less time stewing afterward. But it's nice to know that other people have similar problems, although I don't wish this on anyone. I was beginning to think it was all me, every last bit of it, and that was very discouraging.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-80645121916442212252017-06-09T22:23:31.467-03:002017-06-09T22:23:31.467-03:00You rock, Terry - there's a solution I hadn...You rock, Terry - there's a solution I hadn't thought of!

It's a problem I've had with a number of other stylists as well, so I'm happy to have my current one because she is so precise. I'm getting some good ideas here today, so I will stick with her awhile yet, I think. It's great that you were able to find a place that is good and cheaper too. Haircuts tend to be expensive, especially if one has a short cut that needs done fairly often.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-62565096341476267222017-06-09T22:15:04.371-03:002017-06-09T22:15:04.371-03:00We of the straight hair want ulotrichous hair, and...We of the straight hair want ulotrichous hair, and we of the ulotrichous hair want straight hair ... human nature, huh?

In all my 52 years, I've only found one great one in a pool of many that I'd used over the years. Every time I left her place, I felt like I could float on air; that's how happy I was. Then we moved and it's been downhill ever since.<br /><br />I think we worry too much about hurting someone's feelings when we're getting jobs like these done. But I imagine that a hairdresser would rather know you're unhappy or at the very least be made aware that the cut is not exactly what you want rather than losing a customer. Why not throw in some humour to lighten things up when you nicely explain that you're not entirely happy with your hair and that you want it "exactly like this".<br /><br />And please don't apologize or think you don't have a right to be unhappy. You do.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262406079948479112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-3574990194659683602017-06-09T19:21:42.376-03:002017-06-09T19:21:42.376-03:00I don't worry what I look like.
