When I was young, my mother cut my hair.  She had 2 styles.  Crew cut (hate it!) and Bowl cut (at least it was not a crew cut).  I remember going off to college and getting a girl to cut my hair, I actually could tell her how I wanted it! (Although I was clueless at the time).

Then came post College and I was not going to get a MOM cut!  So I was recommended to a stylist that was my mother's friend.  She was a professional!  But I did not know what she looked like, so I got another one (did not know it at the time) Brenda.  Want to know what Brenda looked like?  Dolly Parton and add 50 pounds.  I thought that was my mom's friend!

But she did a good job and I went to her for years.  Habit.  She knew how I liked to cut my hair.  I stopped when getting an appointment became an ordeal.  Since then, I have wandered from barber to barber, and frequent the places that do it right.  but in the last 5 years, I have probably had a dozen different "hair Stylists".  I am not a very loyal customer (but I do tip if they do it well).

Now take my wife (no, not literally!).  She has been going to a hair stylist for the last umpteen years.  This hair stylist is 45 miles away!  Does she switch now that gas is $3/gal?  not on your life!  She spends $20 in gas for her do!  I will say that either her hair is naturally beautiful (I think that is the truth) or her stylist is good.  But not that good! (I pay from $4-$10 per cut).

What is it with Women and their hair?  They have to have that one person who can do it right because they have been doing it right?  I think not.  I found out that many women can.  And some men.  But many don't either.  But hair grows, so even mistakes are short lived.

Not for women!  Hair is forever!  Oh well, I will write the check so she can have her hair dresser do it right.  She does have beautiful hair.
