i WAS A HAIRDRESER FOR 47 YEARS. MY daughter-in-law has been one for 3 years. I have been trying for 3 years to get her to give me a haircut. rolleyes. FOR 3 YEARS SHE WOULDN'T DO IT. I admit i'm picky about my hair & i have terrible hair, it's thin & naturally curly, hard to deal with. thumbdown. She finally told me she'd cut it but i couldn't say anything. I GOT SO TICKLED ABOUT THAT. yesterday i WENT & let her cut it. First thing she said when i walked it in the door i'm just a little nervous. surrender.I acted real nice & she did a pretty good job. Does your dil treat u that way? I wouldn't have said anything to her if i had hated it, I just wouldn't have gone back. Whatcha' think?

Knowing that you're an experienced hairdresser your DIL might have felt very nervous when you asked her to cut your hair. Who wouldn't be when approached by a veteran hairdresser compared to her 3 years experience, it is no match. She must have exercised her best skill to get a perfect cut for you. Since you have no complain of her cutting it must have boost her confidence. It is nice to have a good relationship between MIL and DIL. I wish I have a DIL like yours in future. I have no idea yet who will be my DIL. Time will tell whether I am an appreciated MIL.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 3 out of 40 in family member  7 months ago

I'm sure she did. I WAS shocked when she finally said yes. U know the main thing to like about your dil's is that they are making your son happy.I was real close[ o thought] to my oldest son's wife but since he's acting strange so she altho she actually started before my son did so go figure if u can. i sure as hell don't know what is wrong w/either one of them & besides that they are keeping me away from my grandaughter. angry

I would have done the same....for the most part I don't think I make my DIL nervous....only under certain circumstances.....I have been known to blow.....two years ago at my granddaughters bday party my son and I were treated like second cousins and her parents and her took center stage with my little granddaughter...leaving us out of the happy birthday singing etc...all of a sudden I hear myself yelling...She has more then one parent! Then I address all her relatives that were standing in front of me....and they parted like the red sea. Well since that day she does sometimes take a side look at me to see if I am going along okay....mind you. I am not one that says anything until I get pushed to the limit.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 3 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

I don't blame u, i'd probably blown to. Both of my son's mil's are sort of controling people & i'm not easily controlled. U know me i say whatever i think to them or anyone else., lol. I'm glad u let them know that. They needed to be reminded, lol. Thanks for your response, Jill.

Hi Jo happy As you already know, we don't have any kids because I can't get pregnant so dil is out for me.... lol BUT to have a family member trim or cut my hair, I wouldn't mind if they did a good job the first time but if they didn't then I just wouldn't go back. No need to make a fuss and make things awkward between family members so I'd do like you would, just wouldn't go back.

I had a good nights sleep last night but still felt tired so I got a cup of coffee, ate breakfast and watched a little tv and decided to take a nap. (Me time) I slept for about 3 hours! OUCH! lol Didn't mean to sleep that long! But hey, like mom says, "the body knows what it needs" apparently mine does but I'm still feeling tired but I know it's a mental thing. I'll get myself right before too long, that is if life's struggles leaves me alone till I get myself back on my feet again. LOLOLOLOL yeah right.... can't see that happening..... rolleyes


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 3 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

U needed the sleep, Cat or u wouldn't have slept that long. U for sure need some 'me time' & i'm glad u are getting it. U have had way too much on u. I'm glad i liked my hair but i would never say anything if i didn't. All i want from my dil's is for them to make my sons happy & vice versa. I don't bother them.

My DIL's are great. The twins's mother offered to do my roots tomorrow for me to save me going tot he hairdresser. Yes, they are great. I woul dhave been nervous too but I am glad that DIL made a good job of it. I would have acted the same as you and not said a word to anyone if I did not like it! I am old enough to know when to keep my mouth closedlol


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 3 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

I'm glad u have good dil's. ALL i want is for mine to make my son's happy & let me see my grandchildren. She will save u money by doing that. If u don't miond me asking how are the prices at your hairdresser's. My dil gets $15 FOR A HAIRCUT. I WAS GETTINg $12 WHEN I HAD TO QUIT. sHE WASN'T GOING TO CHARGE ME, SAID SHE DIDN'T CHARGE her mom but i wouldn't hear to that. I didn't charge my family either but i had my own shop & she works for someone else. I wouldn't have her getting in trouble for not charging me & besides she is up there to make a living.


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (3176)   ranked 18 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

Wow, I had to get a calculator to work it out. That is expensive. For that money exchanged into our currency, I would get a haircut, colouring and wash and blow dry. But I would have had to purchase the colour. I get a pedicure evry month as I wear sandals or open toed shoes and this cost me the equivalent of US$5 -6 dollars.It is very cheap and boy am I glad as it is such a treat to have the hard skin removed and my feet massaged. happyI would go without dinner to have a pedicure. The highlight of my life when I get paid!. I am easy to please! I really should get out morelol


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 3 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

GOSH, IF U COULD GET ALL THAT it is cheap. U know i have never had a pedicure professionally. i BET THAT WOULD BE NICE. No telling what they charge for that here & we are just a small town. I think some of them here are getting city prices,


myLot reputation of 99/100. cynthiann (3176)   ranked 18 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

You must treat yourself one day as it it the most relaxing thing out. When my daughter came home she always had all these things done out here as they were too expensive in the States. I could be wrong but I think she said a pedi was $20 - 25 but I could be wrong about the price all I can remember is that it is expensive. wondeful to have someone removing the hard skin after soaking your feet in hot water! and then the massage! Oh it is heaven. If you get one done tell them not to rush it as you want the full treatment.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 3 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

I'll REMEMBER THAT. rolleyes

Good hair dresser for me is someone who understand my individual needs and can make the haircut that works with my face...
I met only few good hairdressers...I wish to have one now....I grow my hair long, becuase it is easy and always looks good....


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 3 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

It's good to find one u like & stick w/them because they do learn what u want & what ur hair will do. Hairdresser aren't crazy about long hair or i wasn't anyway. w00t. most of my customers were older & i don't think think long hair is becoming to them unless they are going to wear it up.


myLot reputation of 97/100. polachicago (7901)   ranked 34 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

I would think about that style when I am older.... lol
Right now straight or pony tail is the best for me...


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 3 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

Ponytails are really popular again. I always did want one when i was young but my hair was too curly & too thin to have a pretty one.

I have a friend who was like that with my hair. I had really, really long hair until a few years ago. My mom was a hairdresser and so she know how I felt about the sissor people. Now my friend cut all my girl's hair all the time. She is an awesome hairdresser. I was in my late 40's and the hippy look just wasn't cutting it for me anymore and I knew I had to do something different. I asked her if she would cut it and layer it. She was very reluctant and kept making excuses each time I asked. Finally I said, "look, I'm really ready to do this. If you are not willing to, can you recommend someone who is as good as you?" She went and got her sissors. She did a good job. At first I admit...i didn't really like it but that was because it felt so short even tho it was shoulder length...I wasn't used to it but like you...I would never have told her so. happy


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 3 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

i LOVED BEING A HAIRDRESSER & MADE SOME GREAT FRIENDS. i CAN IMAGINE HOW YOUR FRIEND FELT BECAUSE SHE KNEW PRETTY MUCH U WEREN'T GOING TO LIKE IT AT FIRST. I don't imagine u had to tell her she knew. U learn your customers pretty good after doing their hair for a long time.


myLot reputation of 95/100. sid556 (10895)   ranked 31 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

yep...she was right too. Also I was nervous myself. Not only did I grow up with a mom who was forever doing odd things to my hair....the few times I did trust and go in to one of those places for anything other than a trim, I got chopped up so bad and they always took way too much off and the bangs were always way too short. Anyway, I did like it once I got used to it. It is kind of a shock getting that much taken off at once but she did a good job. happy

Just a pretty good job? How short did you get your hair cut. I like the gal that does my hair now. I have had her do my hair off and on for many years. She is not working at a salon anylonger as her husband to be said she does not HAVE to work so she just does a few at her house. It gives her play money. I have a couple of colicks and it seems if I go to someone new they do not loisten to a work I am saying when I point them out so I look goofier than normal. angry


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 3 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

I keep my hair short all the time. It is hard to cut a person's hair the first time & get it just right. everyone needs to find some one that pleases them & stick w/them instead of flopping aound to different hairdressers all the time like so many people do. If u go to the same one they learn your hair & can do a better jib. Those cowlicks can be a mess. They should listen to things like that.Glad u found someone to please you.

I think some people may consider haircut so important, and it is even more important to have some good hairs, not too thin, not too thick, or something like that. And I think if you feel good about yourself,this is enough. Do not mind what other people think about you, just be yourself.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11603)   ranked 3 out of 40 in family member  6 months ago

I could care less what people think about me to be honest. I hope they have good thoughts about me but if they don't that's their problem.I'm just glad she finally cut it because since i have been retired i have had some bad hairvuts. I think u should keep things like that in the family if u can. Have a good sunday.
