Around five years ago, I decided to leave my go-to, swanky hair salon. My go-to favourite hair stylist had left to relocate to pastures new, her boyfriend lived up-north and so, so must she.
I tried a new stylist at the old place, but for the money I was paying, I wasn't impressed. So I figured that I would rather be not completely happy for half the price, than not completely happy for full price and so I re-located my head, to a salon closer to home.
Five years later and my hairdresser, who is lovely and does a brilliant job with my unruly hair, well, she leaves and I cannot follow, my new working hours will not fit into her new working pattern.
And so I'm stuck, I need to find a new place to be pampered and a place to work magic.
So, with some trepidation, yesterday, I embarked on an adventure to find a new stylist. I did a little research, some on foot, some on the web and decided to give one salon a try.
I chose this particular salon because the website looks professional, they use sulphate free shampoos, they have pricing depending on level of experience of the stylists and they do late nights.
I arrived three minutes early and was warmly greeted by the proprietor, who had fabulous hair. I am ushered to a chair to speak to my new hair stylist where she asks me what I want and takes a look at the head. This I like, because my hair looks totally different dry from wet, you don't see the frizz, the width or the waywardness when it's wet.
One wash and one coffee later and my new stylist is still cutting my hair. She is slow and precise and that is not a complaint, it was actually really relaxing but so different from my old place where I was in, washed, cut, dried and out within thirty minutes.
An hour later and I am shorn and blow dried straight. I think it looks good, of course, you can never tell until you try to do it yourself, but I will be going back there.
