From the mouth of a "Stylist"
Apr 8^th, 2008 at 9:26am

I thought we could all use a good laugh this morning!!
I was flipping channels this morning,on Channel 11 News they were doing a spot on hairstyles,color and make-up. The woman covering the story asks the stylist,"So when women come to you what should they say about what they want". The stylist(and I kid you not on this!) says,Women should just let go of control and let the stylist do their thing". We know what we're doing,just trust us". In so many words this is what was said!!! I almost fell off the coach!!! TRUST THEM??? The models that were shown (before and after shots) were alittle more than to be disired on what was done to their hair!!! I don't think I'd send a cow to let him give any kind of haircut!

I've known a few that I actually had to argue with in order to get what I wanted (or didn't want). It's as though they feel that once you sit in their chair that your hair no longer belongs to you, but to them. Wacko indeed!

For an opposing point of view - there have been times where I had no idea what should be done with my hair and I did let the stylist do whatever they wanted. However, my hair was reasonably short at that time and I knew it would grow out quickly. Taking that same attitude with hair that has taken years to grow out would be silly, and unwise. Wink
