View Full Version : The yearly trim.

I usually only trim my hair once a year (with a small S&D about once a month) and 2 days ago it was that time of the year again. I have gone to the same stylist for about 5 years now and she is amazing. She is a very accomplished colourist and can do freaking wonders in that department (even more so with Olaplex). She is also very knowledgable of henna (!) although she don't offer that service at the salon. She also "forbade" me to stop using henna and continue with coconut oil ("it is the best for the hair").

I truly love her.

The only drawback to visit her is that my hair is now a teflon mess that will not stay up as I'm used to (due to the deep cleansing shampoo she uses, she didn't use any cones on my hair). We had a FB chat today about it - apparently my hair quality is brilliant but for the time being I need to use some texturizer before I get some build-up to give my hair some hold (first world problems? Yes!).

Anyway - I just wanted to tell you about a very good salon experience and share some pictures!

Amazing hair!
Is the colour just from henna?

Nope - she just wanted to see if she could reach the ends standing on a stool and she couldn't. :D She had a co-worker snapping a picture for her (she do take pics of her customer's hair for her FB/Instagram).

One funny moment was when another customer in the chair beside me started to ask some polite questions about how long I have grown my hair and how long it is. I answered that I have knee length hair. Lisa (my stylist) was plopped on the floor trimming the ends at this point. No sooner had I answered the question when a voice from floor level piped up: "Don't LIE! It is calf lenght!"

Just henna. I guess the ends still may have some conventional colour on them but I'm not sure.....

It's a fun photo! They need a higher stepping stool! Your hair is looking amazing - how else could it look? :D

She loves to braid - so when she asked if she could do a four strand I told her to knock herself out. It didn't last long though - teflon hair and a windy day made it look like hell before I even arrived home. But it looked nice for about five minutes :D

Gorgeous! Love the braid!

Finding a stylist you trust is amazing and rare.... I can't tell how many salons and stylists I went through before finding mine and I'll keep her as long as she's working in my town...

I'm 32 and I have long legs, pants fall on tops of feet (but I do have pants that are a little short that are 30) - it's not short by any means, 30!

Hmmm. Might be the camera angle or just the fact that your hair length pulls your eyes down to say wow, long legs too!
In any case, your trim experience looks to be stellar.
