I miss my 28 year old Finnish hair stylist. I always came out with great (new, fun) hair and feeling better when I was a bit lonely in a foreign land. Even my husband would notice and love it. My hairstylist now is very nice but it's not fun. She and the other 'girls' hate each other and it's not relaxing. The stylist I used before her charged over 2x more and thought she was a rock star who could sit in the back and gossip while making me wait in the chair with wet hair for 10-20 minutes. Given my hair looks like hormone induced poo no matter what I do, it probably wouldn't matter if I went to the $10 place at the mall.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900421223812125267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899607747956861132.post-91799779982066767002011-10-10T13:26:30.931-04:002011-10-10T13:26:30.931-04:00Bobbi: I've seen photos of that beautiful silv...Bobbi: I've seen photos of that beautiful silver hair of yours, so I'm begging you to WALK AWAY FROM THE CLIPPERS!sherry stanfa-stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680055033925659511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899607747956861132.post-89855723599156615722011-10-10T12:43:19.412-04:002011-10-10T12:43:19.412-04:00Oh this is one for me.

I'd say twice a week I come close to breaking out the clippers for a GI Jane buzz. Today I have visions of Emmy Lou Harris and I want to grow it long.

I think the last time I had my hair cut was 2007. These days I trim the ends myself and pretty much leave it alone. I know the minute I set foot in a salon, someone will come at me with hair color and suggestions that I have a more age-appropriate hairstyle. Meh. I'm plenty ordinary without their help.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899607747956861132.post-7378729898275037622011-10-08T16:44:26.240-04:002011-10-08T16:44:26.240-04:00Averil: Ha!

(Which felt a bit creepy, of course, because I was in love with David Cassidy.) <br /><br />Looking back at old pictures, I see the resemblance was mainly due to the fact that we shared the same shag haircut--now better known as a mullet. It looked far better on him than it looked on me. Moral of the Story: Being Bieberized, in comparison, might not be so bad.sherry stanfa-stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00680055033925659511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899607747956861132.post-30483541576320515682011-10-06T16:55:44.144-04:002011-10-06T16:55:44.144-04:00Sherry--

It's not her; it's me. I should just say "Give me something I can simply wash and sleep on," but instead I try to convince her--and myself--that I can manage "fixy." <br /><br />Teri: Perhaps you should tell her you're writing a book about (insert all the personal and sensitive details she's told you).

(Okay, the other reason is because I'm lazy.)<br /><br />I have very fine long hair. It's so fine that layers would do nothing, so I have to get it cut straight across. I've tried shorter lengths a few times, but it looks awful, so long-and-straight is it for me.<br /><br />When I was 13, I desperately wanted to change my straight hair. First I tried that Wash-n-Curl shampoo (if there's a company that should be sued for dishonest advertising, it's that one) and then curling irons, braiding damp hair and sleeping on it, etc. Failure, all of them. Finally, I got a perm -- and when they took the rollers out, my hair promptly fell straight. The stylist said it was because I had "virgin hair" that had never been treated before.<br /><br />Yeah. Just see what happens when you're 13, told you have virgin hair, and your older brother hears about it. Hilarious, I tell you.Laura Maylenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058744860709615256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899607747956861132.post-9635292431297841392011-10-06T12:54:52.390-04:002011-10-06T12:54:52.390-04:00The last haircut I got was in...wait for it...APri...The last haircut I got was in...wait for it...APril.

It would cost too much emotionally, and then I'd need to find a new therapist. Or she would. Yes, she would. Since now she schedules me for 15 minutes longer than other clients because "I listen" and she spends that 15 minutes regaling me with the latest book she's read about human enlightenment, and wow!, why don't you write a book like THAT!<br /><br />I need a divorce.Terihttp://tericarter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8899607747956861132.post-10362046373577778222011-10-06T11:22:34.044-04:002011-10-06T11:22:34.044-04:00This is so freakin' funny because it's so ...This is so freakin' funny because it's so true!<br />I stopped going long ago to people who didn't understand what it meant when I said, "Cut it so I don't have to do anything to it". Nothing means combed when wet and out the door.<br />My man, Steve, gets this. He also gets that he can do anything he wants. He thought I was just saying it until I pointed to his hair, maybe an inch in length, and told him I'd had it shorter and loved it.<br />So we have one agreement. No soccer mom cuts. And it can live without product. <br />Unless I'm feeling fixy.

She gets this maniacal look in her eye and says, "Let's see what this one does!" <br /><br />Yeah.
