Haircut!

[sarelis]

After my last salon experience I swore I would never see a hairdresser again, but last night I was combing my hair & decided I wanted my face framing layers back that had grown out. I'm far too cack-handed to attempt this myself, so today I thought I would pop into the local barbers where my OH gets his hair cut to see if they would do it. No appointment, had a 5 minute wait with a cup of coffee then into the chair. I took my hair stick out & got loads of lovely comments about how long & pretty my hair was, then the stylist took a spray bottle to the front sections that I wanted cut. I explained what I wanted, & got exactly that. No horrendous hair washing, piled on top of my head to create as many tangles as humanly possible, no tearing through wet hair with a fine tooth plastic comb, no thinking she knew better, no slathering on of silicone laden products, no hard sell. It took all of 5 minutes, cost me £5, and was the best salon experience I have ever had! I will definatly be going back before xmas for my yearly trim :) Will post pics tomorrow when my camera has charged

It is so nice to hear your wonderful experience!

I think sometime we can start to forget that there are lots of fabulous stylist out there, and a few give the rest a bad name. :)

You are so right! I have had one really awful nightmare salon experience that was followed by some pretty bad ones. And because of that I have forgotten that for every bad hairdresser there are a ton of wonderful ones:D Congrats!

Sarelis, that's wonderful to hear. Not all experiences are this positive. It's great!

[sunshine-locks]

Glad to hear you got what you wanted! Barbers may have a bad rep but whenever I went to one, I got the exact hair I wanted!If I need a trim, I'll probably go to a barber :)

That was how my last haircut went, and I was so pleasantly surprised. I was ready to put up a fight over how I didn't need my hair washed or X product put into it.

Cant wait for pics. :)
