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.
