I think we're breaking up

So my current stylist has been doing my hair since 2004. But for about the last year-and-a-half, she just hasn't been getting the job done. The basic cut is still good, but her attention to detail has gone completely in the toilet. When I leave the salon, I'm not thinking about how great I look - I'm thinking about what I will find wrong with the cut once I wash and style it, myself. It'll be longer behind one ear. Or the bangs (fringe, for you UKers) will be too long or too short. Frankly, there've been a couple times I've told her to just leave them alone, then went home and cut them, myself.

To be fair, she's always been great about being willing to re-cut if there's a problem. But she's all the way across town - and I don't feel like I should have to make two trips to get one decent haircut.

A friend of mine just broke up with her stylist, too - and is getting her hair done (right this minute, in fact) at a salon that's a lot closer to home. The price is about the same, too. (I really don't want to spend more than I already do.) So this may be it.

I went in for my color a couple weeks ago, but I canceled the cut and am with the current one until after my play closes next month. (I need every bit of length I have to work in the extensions I'll have to wear, anyway.) I'm hoping against hope my friend's new stylist works out. I need a change.

Wait - you didn't think I was talking about breaking up with Sweetie, did you? lol

No, actually. You don't seem the type to bring that to the org public.

Actually, when I first read this I thought you were breaking up with the .org. Glad you're not.

Hope your new stylist works out.

I'm a little too busy to read your post, but my advice is that you need to stop dating gay men, or else this will just continue to happen.

Yup, I knew it couldn't be about Sweetie. lol

Good luck finding a new stylist. It sounds like it's needed at this point. Boo.

Of all the people here, I feel like you know the seriousness of this most of all. It is the ultimate trauma for the well coiffed. lol

Less so for guys of course (that's why we have baseball caps lol ) but it pisses the HELL out of me when I can't style it the way I want in the front every f*cking morning.
