I've been on what feels like a never-ending search for a good haircut and stylist to match. This week I tried again. The young, hip gal did a decent job on the cut itself, but slicked my hair to my head like a drowned rat, and I'm still shaking my head over a few of her comments:
"Yeah... you want something age appropriate." (Age appropriate...since when is 35 old enough to have to worry about being age appropriate?!)
"Wow, do you color your hair or is that all natural?" (I was thinking maybe she just meant I have nice natural highlights, until she added "Because you hardly have any grays." [For my age.]
"You really had what I call the 'meat loaf' going on here in the back--we've got to get rid of some that." (Huh, that was the part of my hair that I liked.)
"If you grow it out a bit, it won't look so much like a mom-style--sorry, did I offend you?"
And when I asked her to style my hair with an outward flip, her response was "Do I have to?...that was like 6 0r 7 years ago."
And lastly, from my hubby: "Hmm...it kind of makes your head look small. And it doesn't really fit with your style of clothes...try a different shirt on and see if that looks better." (What?!)
It's getting old, folks. And apparently I'm getting old, too.

Hmm. That lady needs some tact I think.
Ugh! So, maybe not her.
She would have had a field day with me! I actually do have gray - tons of it.
I'm wondering how you like it now that you've had a chance to do it on your own.
You have got to be kidding! I can not believe she said all of that- especially questioning you on the flip! How rude. Try again.
If you want the best of the best go to Calypso salon in River Falls, the owners name is Stacia, she will make YOU happy, not herself:)Only let her touch your hair though- none of the others.
If you want readers comments.....I really think you need to go with a short layered haircut. Starting at the top have a new layer every one-to two inches down. It willl give you some height on top, and it gives your head a nice round look rather than a triangle. It is a super easy cut and it works great with wavy hair, it is pretty much wash and go. If you want to be fancy you can roll out the curls with a big rod and have lots of fun big curls at different lengths. Just an idea:) You can even curl your bangs with this cut or just leave them natural. And it will go with your clothes...and not be too "Momish"
I will always be older than you. I promise.
oh. my. goodness.
I had no idea. Wow. I'm pretty much speechlesss here. That hardly ever happens.
Maybe the other lady? Yikes.
Hair girl - Fail!
Wade - LOL!
