I see the same girl every time I go to the hair dresser. About 4 cuts ago she wasn't in and I went to one of the other girls. I just needed a trim she can't screw it up too much right ?!? WRONG!! My husband is not one to notice when I get my hair cut but he did that time! He was like "Don't do that again" lol. Hey at least he noticed. After that I call before I go to make sure my girl is in. She's going on matertity leave soon and I don't know what I'm gonna do in the mean time. I guess my hair will have to grow for the 3 months.

I have 2 girls I go to. I have been happy with both of them. And they work at the same place. Which is very nice. If one is out, I can usually get the other one, If not we leave. THey are also the only 2 I let touch my kids hair. I learned from bad experiences.

One of my kids is still young so I do her hair. Just the bangs for now. I take my other kids where they want they pretty much have easy cuts so it really doesn't matter. If you can cut straight you can cut there hair.

Isn't it the pits you find someone who does a great job and she is not in so you trust the other person to do a simple cut and they make you look like Morticia.I have had that happen to me too the gal who did my hair was new and I thought perhaps she would be really up on things. well wrong she cut my hair longer on one side than on the other and on top of that instead of the usual fifteen dollars she charged me twenty one for a lousy looking cut. of course eventually it grew out but I made it a point to come only on the days she worked. Now shes moved to a newlocation and I did not get her phone number woe is me

Its horriable to get a bad cut. My hair grows really fast (lucky me) so it was only bad for about 3 weeks then I was able to fix it a little.

No I switch up from time to time. I have curly hair and there's no one in this area that I know who is really good at cutting curly hair. I think next time I'm going to Memphis (about 80 miles) to get my hair cut. They have people there who are suppose to be specialists in doing curly hair. I go to Memphis every few months anyway so I might as well get my hair cut while I'm there.

I had a perm for a while and just let my hair grow because every time I would get it cut it looked horriable so I feel your pain.

you spend 20 a month on your hair shaves and you do it your self. i spend 20 bucks on my cut, some one else does it and i only get it done once every 2 to 3 months and you know me its more like every 3 to 4 months. SO YOU spend more then me!

well, i too would say that i go to the same hairdressing salon everytime though it is not that often. but for me, i think there are about 3-4 girls who have done my hair so they more or less know my boring style. grins it's the same salon though with different people doing who basically know what i want. i too once went to another one with my friends. it seems they go to that one more often and i had my haircut. but the fringe was a bit too short and my hubby was not that pleased though i felt that it gave me a different look and i was fine with it. but still, i felt uncomfortable going to a new salon so i still visit my regular one.

I had the same long hair for a LONG time. Then my Mary Kay director said to me "Erika you really need a change" I didn't look at it as a bad thing she really was trying to help. So I searched the internet till I found a few cuts. I asked my husband which one he liked and then got the cut he DIDN'T pick. He loved it after a few days. My hair went from being down the middle of my back to above my sholders with a real "style". It didn't help my Mary Kay business but it was a needed change.

haha i wonder what your style is. it might come in handy for me too. grins, i agree sometimes, we really need the change though i'm sure my hubby won't approve of it at first. that was funny, saying that you picked a style that your hubby didn't pick. hehehe

i used to just go to the local hair cut places in town, but when i went out of town with a friend so that she could get her hair done from her friend/hairdresser, i decided once to get my hair cut too. and i have never looked back. it's so nice to be able to sit in the chair and say "do whatever you want" and come out looking fab-u-lous!...even if it means travelling 4 hours out of town...

I couldn't spend that much time to go get a hair cut I get it done about every month. And with 3 kids its hard enough to go the 10 min drive. I normally leave work a half hour early so I can get it done with out kids.

i guess i'm pretty lucky that i don't have anything that stops me from getting up and going whenever i want (that is as long as i don't have to work)! so as long as i can keep doing it, i'm gonna keep doing it..yay me!

oh, and we don't just go to get hair cuts, we also do some shopping and visiting and whatever else we feel like doing when we're there...so it also means a chance to get away from home-which we take every opportunity to do...

I see the same girl also. I made the same mistake you did last time and popped in without calling first to verify her hours. I thought that it would be an easy task since I have a simple cut but the girl totally cut mine too short. I asked for it to be left long enough to put in a pony tail. It wasn't. I was pretty ticked off. I'll always wait for the other girl from now on. I learned my lesson the hard way, as you did!

I hate that when your hair is just at that point where its too long to be off your neck but too short to put up. Thats that inbetween stage that makes me nuts. Thanks for responding!

LOL I have a rough time finding someone to cut my hair the right way so when I do find them I tend to stick to them like glue. I finally found one the last time I had it cut and hopefully she will be around for a long time. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

My hair dresser is officialy on maturnity leave so I have decided to let my hair grow out. Its been over a year of short hair I'm ready for another change this just gave me the perfect oppertunity.

I have had long hair most of my life. About a year and a half ago I cut it all off. I'm talking about 8 inches in just the length. It was a HUGE change. I have kept it short for that year and now I am going back to long. Hubby wants it long again so I'm willing. Plus I have found that long hair is easier you can just throw it up if you don't feel like doing it. Thanks again for sharing!

I just went the opposite way...I had long hair for the longest time and have recently started keeping it short. I like it short b/c it's so easy to take care of...Hubby likes it long though...so we compromise. Long in the winter and short the rest of the year. It works out. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

It depends on where I am. Usually if I'm in my home town, I will see my regular hair dresser. But if I'm traveling i will do my hair myself until I'm able to see my regular hair dresser again.

I can cut my own bangs if I have them (right now I don't) but thats about all I can do myslef. I don't get color done so its just a cut for me. If I want color I do it myself. But my cut is left up to ONE person now lol. Thanks for responding.

Yep, I go to the same hair dresser everytime. It took him about a year to convince me to even let him touch my hair and then once he convinced me he moved like 500km away to another city, needless to say I take the trip to go & get my hair done. The people who I work with are always ragging me about going out of town to get my hair done, but yet they are always complaining about their hair-cuts guess they don't see the same person....lol

Yep! my sister cuts my hair. She's had her license for about 8 years now, and I would never let another person cut my hair, she's never got it wrong. But I only get my hair cut once or twice a year [I love it long]. That sucks to hear about your hair getting messed up! I would hate having to see someone else to cut my hair 'cause they don't know how I like it. You could say half an inch and they cut two. And I wouldn't be happy with that. Goodluck waiting for your hairdresser to come back, haha.

It would be really nice to have some one close to me that did hair. When I lived in FL and I took a road trip to my aunts she would do my hair but she was 2 hours away.

I do now. When I first moved to GA, I lived in the Atlanta area and once I found someone I liked, I stuck with him for a couple years. Then I moved to metro Atlanta and went to see him a few more times but the distance to get to him was not worth it. So, I looked for someone new out by me and about 2 years ago, I found her. Now, as long as she is around, I will stick with her.

I go to three salons (not at the same time lol), so when one is not available, I still can go to the other ones. They have different styles in cutting hair and I think they are all good. Aside from that, I'm not that meticulous when it comes to haircut. I also try to visit other salon to check out what's new with them. If I'm not impressed, I don't go back to them.

I have to be meticulous with my hair cut because it is such a stlye. If it gets cut wrong there isn't much I can do with it. When I just had long straight hair I didn't care who did it but now thats is short it has to be right.

Yeah, I usually go to the same person. I decided to try someone who was a little less pricey, and he totally screwed up my hair! SO, I went back to my previous hairdresser to fix it. I've learned my lesson!

Yes, I go to the same girl every time. I don't trust the other stylists to do my hair, lol. She does a great job every time and is very nice. If she's booked, I'd honestly rather wait to see her than have someone else do my hair.
