Now hair this
October 20th, 2006Most of us are pressed for time when it comes to getting ready in the morning. Realistically, we have up to half an hour and that includes fussing with our hair. One of the most reliable style shortcuts is an excellent hair stylist. I am the first to admit that fabulous hair stylists are not easy to find. It took me 3 bad haircuts at 3 different salons here in America before I stumbled across somebody who gave me a haircut that satisfied me completely.
Loyalty is often a problem when it comes to switching hair stylists. Even if we have never been happy with their work, we invariably feel awful leaving the people who have been cutting our hair for years. It’s hard. However, you deserve a decent haircut!
You need a hair stylist who will give you a cut that works best for your hair type. Opting for a time-intensive, sleek flat ironed layered hair style is a bad idea when you have wavy and wispy fine hair. It may look wonderful at the salon, but won’t after the 10 minutes that you have to spend on your hair each morning. Tying it back into a ponytail everyday is also not the solution. The answer is simply an excellent haircut that will last you at least 6 weeks.
If you don’t have one now, begin your search for a good hair stylist today. If you see someone walking down the street with a good haircut – ask them for the name of their hair stylist. Remember that there is no such thing as bad hair – only a bad haircut.

I hop from one hair stylist to one hairstylist. I go to the cheap ones to the expensive ones and they are all the same!! its frustrating. I am still searching. :*)

It seems like every time I find a stylist that I like, she leaves the business, moves far away, or cuts her hours down and our schedules don’t work together. I also have found that it could take a few appointments with the same stylist before you both feel comfortable with each other. Once I trust my stylist, I give them carte blanche to do what they want with my style and color. Once in a while, they get a little over creative, and I offer them more guidance the next time around.

Finally, I found a hair stylist with hair like mine–very thick, naturally curly and frizzy. I’ve been with her for almost 10 years–2 husbands (hers) and my moving 20 miles away. She recommends affordable products at a beauty supply store, is willing to make changes to my hair styles based upon pictures I’ve seen in magazines and keeps me intertained with stories about her life. Other than that, I get so many compliments on my hair color–naturally red, but with low lights and gold highlights.
Keep calling–you’ll find your stylist. I called around until I found someone who cut hair with a razor on a regular basis. Good luck.

Finally, after calling around for a stylist who cuts hair with a razor on a regular basis, I found my hairstylist of 9 years. She has hair like mine, too–very thick, naturally curly and naturally wavey, The yellow pages can be your best friend sometimes. Also, ask for affordable styling products; my hairdresser sends me to a beauty supply store.
