I've never had long hair. I don't think it suits me and I don't have the patience to grow it out, only to wear it in a ponytail every day. As many of you short-haired friends know, short hair needs maintenance. It needs thinning and shaping and angles. In Virginia the girls of our family discovered Dante (yes, that was his real name). Dante was a master of the scissors and the thinning shears. He wore black turtlenecks and spoke with an accent and sent you out of the salon looking fabulous! I got my haircut every month, and hi-lights every three months.
Moving to a new place you've got to find new places: A new doctor, a new grocery store, a new ward. But possibly the most critical "new place" is A NEW HAIR STYLIST! I've had disaster trial runs with several haircut establishments, but finally found one close to home thanks to my friend Laurelin. I asked her where she got her hair done, and she told me, "Wild Style Salon...but they don't really style it wild."
Jenny cuts it the way I like it. She hi-lights it the way I like it also - natural (not chunky) and not "platinum blond". She doesn't charge an arm and a leg and I don't have to wait an unreasonable amount of time to book an appointment with her. Just when we get into the swing of things, we move! I hope someone in Moscow/Pullman knows there way around a pair of scissors and foil! I'll miss you, Wild Style Salon! Don't even get me started on how bad I'll miss Cookie Cutters!

i totally concur - finding a new hair stylist is the scariest most daunting thing about being in a new place. in fact, when i found one, i was dismayed to learn that she was moving to san francisco (needless to say, not an easy commute), but lucky for me she still comes back once a month, and i have taken time off work to make appointments with her! my best advice, when you see someone's hair you like, ask them who did it!
