hair how i want it

everyone knows hairdressers just do whatever they want. it doesn't matter what kind of cut or color you ask for, you'll get whatever it is the hairdresser feels like giving you. because the hairdresser knows best. right? well...maybe they do know best. i'm certainly not an expert. but that doesn't mean i'm cool with my requests being disregarded or ignored. i am paying for this service after all. opinions are great. advice is welcome. but if, in the end, i want a cut my hairdresser doesn't feel is best for my face shape or hair type, or a color that doesn't do my completion justice, or whatever it is my hairdresser disagrees with-- that's my problem. so just give it to me. right? right!

so to my delight and amazement, i've finally found a hairdresser who actually cares what i want. she cares! she listens to what i ask for. she shows me pictures to make sure she understands. and then she really, genuinely does her best to make it happen. she doesn't make me feel bad for mentioning celebrities names as examples of the kind of cut i'd like. for god's sake-- i understand i'm not going to look like the celebrity (believe me, i KNOW that)-- it is just an example. my hairdresser understands, too. she understands!

and her greatness-- it isn't just a fluke. it isn't! i've been feeling brave and adventurous with my haircuts over the past year or so, and trying different things. she gets it right every time. every time. i've had a lifetime of of bad haircuts and hairdressers who don't listen. but no more.

and as a special bonus, she is fun! and friendly! and affordable! did i mention affordable?

oh, the hair gods must be smiling upon me. and they can smile upon you, too. do yourself a favor and go see julie ann at complete designs. you'll leave with hair how you want it.
