Oh, man. I create so many threads. Anyway, I digress.
I exercised the three-week rule and I've decided to have a wee, but professional, trim this weekend. I did a micro-trim at the end of August, but for some reason it didn't do anything; I guess maybe the scissors were dull or something. Anyway, I realized that if I trim my hair every 3-6 months, I may as well have a professional with ultra-sharp scissors do it for me.
Luckily, I live next to a really good salon, where not a single stylist has ever deviated even slightly from my requests. My boyfriend has prepared me with a list of things I should say to get exactly what I want, since I long ago appointed him my official hair-buddy who will stop me from getting major chops, and he takes this position very seriously indeed.
Anyway, this is a bit of a big deal because I haven't even stepped foot into a salon since before I shaved my head. If I had to guess when the last time I visited a salon was, I'd have to say it was when I stayed in England, which was about... 2006. So, this is pretty surreal for me and I have no idea how to go about it.
Only my fellow LHCers would understand why having less than half an inch trimmed off is such a big deal. :p Anyway, I will post pics!
And question: What can I do to prepare for this trim? I will likely want to have them shape my hair a little, so should I bring in a picture? What else should I talk about to get what I want, other than DBF's suggestion of making them use a ruler the whole time. :p
