so my worst fears happened... my hair dresser apparently moved out of state! I guess that's what happens when you only get your haircut once a year, a lot can happen in between! It already stressed me out when we moved across country and I had to find a new salon , and I STILL am nervous every single time I get my haircut even with a person that I have seen multiple times. So, the only reason I go to a salon still for a haircut is because I have layers. I don't want to attempt those at home. I see myself possibly transitioning to an all one length hair sometime in the coming years so I can do my trims myself at home. But I'm not quite ready for that yet. I only get 2 inches off every 8 months or so right now. And a refreshing of the layers.
The fact that I have to see a new person is seriously stressing me out... several months ago I posted here about my last haircut, the first one since I had started completely taking care of my hair different and better, and I was very aware of the fact that when she blow dried it she was very rough and holding the super hot hairdryer super close to my hair over and over again... so I had made up my mind that the next time I went I would let her cut it and then leave with a wet head, since I have seen her enough to know that the cut is probably fine. WELL. Now that I can't see her anymore because SHE MOVED (still so shocked and sad about it... lol) and I'm going to someone who has never cut or even seen my hair, is this a bad idea? Shuold I let them blow dry it at least the first time only just in case they need to do after touches, or so that I can see right away how they cut it? And then leave with a wet head in the future after I trust them? Everyone's interpretation of "layers" is soooo different it always makes me nervous. Of course I will bring in pictures just like I did with my girl before, and stress "LIGHT layers" and that I don't do any styling or anything with it. But still, it always worries me they'll do something crazy. I've already waited over my usual 8 month rule, it's now been nearly 10 months... so I really gotta get in and get it trimmed. Is it a good idea for the new person to blow dry it the first time to make sure it's all good? Or do I dare leave with a wet head?? I really want my old stylist back :( I feel kinda irritated that no one notified me... I didn't find out until I called the salon to make an appointment!! Hair nuts like me don't like surprises and changes. Boo.
