I could never find a stylist to talk to me about the health of my hair. Not one explained the benefits of moisture daily, and proper hair care maintenence.
Also, no one could ever style my hair the way I liked..it always looked too "fixed" I got tired of everyone in the salon staring at me like I was crazy while I finger combed thru my hair to get "my look"
Final straw: After growing my hair from a shag (thats a whole other story) cut, my hair was just above the shoulders. My stylist said I needed a trim, trusting, I allowed her to trim. She cut off a good two inches and left me with an ear legenth bob!! I was like, NO SHE DIDN'T. I was practically in tears as everyone kept asking, "Why did you cut your hair....again" (remember the shag?)
So I made a promise to never to allow a stylst to trim my hair. I do that myself. The only time I allow them to use scissors is for a CUT/STYLE and when I do get that done, I ask them to show me the angles so I can trim it myself!
