The Single Most Difficult Thing To Find When You Move.....

The single most difficult thing to find when you move is a good hairdresser.  Sure, doctors and dentists can be tough to locate as well and are up there on the list.  But a good stylist is crucial.  The last time I moved, I got very lucky in finding my hair stylist.  She was a Mom at the pre-school and would play with my hair when we were both volunteering.  She said she was not taking any new clients, but she had to work with my hair so she made an exception.  We were together for many years, even during my non-hair phase in life.

Well, this move I was not so lucky.  I asked various women that I met if they had any recommendations.  Most would not share their secret.  Then I went to the YELP website (see sidebar) and located an Aveda Salon near by.  I figured they were all trained in the same technique, so it should be a safe bet.  No such luck.  I have to say that I actually had the worst haircut of my life.  Somewhere between Carol Brady & Billy Rae Cirus's mullet.  It was really awful.  I gave it a week, but then had to do something about it.  I actually went back to the same salon but asked to speak to the owner.  They agreed that it was a terrible cut, and graciously fixed it at no additional charge. Apparently the gal is no longer there.  I suspect I was not the only victim.  I have since found someone who does a great job, and thankfully have that chore off my list.

So the lesson from this?  Ask around more,  because there is nothing worse than a bad hair day, especially when you are just meeting people.

PS>  Thankfully I will be back in OH for Thanksgiving and will be able to get my coloring done by my faavorite gal!  Sorry, I am only willing to risk so much!
