So my method is usually finding someone and after one trial haircut (and checking out his other clients to see if I like the way they look). If he/she passes the "they all look good and hip without looking overdone" litmus, I simply go in, tell him/her the functions I expect ("I have to pull the front back while I do lab work, I've got 5 minutes to style this semester, shoulder length please", etc.) I just say, "Okay, you're the pro and you can see me in 360 degrees, within these limitations, YOU do what you want!"<BR/> Hasn't failed me yet. Or, as I like to say "It's my hairdresser's hair--I just wear it."Calafiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875504337034831461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-67188665477216460362007-06-24T09:32:00.000-05:002007-06-24T09:32:00.000-05:00H is totally going to poke holes in your diaphram....H is totally going to poke holes in your diaphram.

I tend to go to chain beauty parlors, (Supercuts, Fantastic Sams, etc.) and I never see the same beautician twice so there is no sense in trying to create a relationship. <BR/>Additionally, I can't remember the last time I went in to get my nails done and was teamed up with someone who spoke english.<BR/>"I hep you?"<BR/>"Peek cala!"

I end up asking how long they've worked there, what their favorite part of the job is, vacation plans, etc. And hope that they don't get offended when I get quiet.Jhiannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13961562933937294762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-57536353649173352402007-06-22T10:32:00.000-05:002007-06-22T10:32:00.000-05:00I am totally a Chatty Cathy with hair stylists.

Maybe you should have one. :)<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, as the mother of a child who used to be a baby, if someone I didn't know came in and requested to hold my baby, I would say no. If he asked someone else who was holding him if he could hold the baby, I would also say no, and probably be irritated as well. I've never been a fan of the pass the baby game. A baby is a person, and it probably isn't the most comforting thing to a baby to be held by a complete and total stranger. I realize that contradicts your story about -H- soothing the baby, but it's how I feel. <BR/><BR/>But, if you have your own, I'm sure -H- will be great with him/her...and I won't ask to hold him/her. :)3carnationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942247215569463561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-34074663619914304602007-06-22T04:55:00.000-05:002007-06-22T04:55:00.000-05:00I hate hairstyling conversations.

It's like a job interview but worse since s/he has control over your hair. <BR/><BR/>Good to know that H is so good with babies--much better than the guys who are afraid to hold babies for fear of dropping them.

I haven't been able to go without them since -- the whole depth of color thing they try to sell you is true. If expensive. And a pain.<BR/><BR/>I am also conversationally challenged when it comes to stylists, but I just parrot back the exact questions they ask me -- where are you from, etc. <BR/><BR/>I figure most stylists are just used to people who only answer their questions and never actually reply back with one of their own, so they might be happy to reply. <BR/><BR/>Also, you can always use the salon magazines for fodder! Everyone loves to dish about the celebs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18444847.post-63450527862022716432007-06-21T23:56:00.000-05:002007-06-21T23:56:00.000-05:00I love love LOVE highlights!

I love doing the full highlights, but in skinny strands, and I like them focused around my face. The reality, however, is that I wouldn't know this at all unless my stylist had told me what he was doing. I just tell them that I want it to look natural, and they make it happen.<BR/><BR/>I will say this: I am ALL ABOUT the gay male stylist. Done and done! Good luck!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
