I miss the woman who use to cut my hair

Went in the local place today. Woman is no longer working there. The other girls won't say a word about her. Cut my hair for over 10 yrs. Backup hairdresser is shaking her head and frowning..she is busy.I get a pregnant runny mouth big fat girl to cut it. She tells me to lean down in the seat cause she can't cut the top of my head. She says she is only 5 foot tall. STFU... just cut my hair. She goes up front endless times to run the cash register. She tells me she is the one in charge of the cash register. Who gives a rats ***? Finally I get to leave. Thank God. I pity the boyfriend or husband. I give her the money to pay for the cut and she says thank you. I just stand there. No tip today honey... Back up hairdresser just laughs out loud. I turn around and an Air Force guy is there in uniform. He won't take any money for lunch.. hands it back. Thanks me again.. Last trip in that place.

    You should have asked where she went, odds are she is working at another shop...

    I had a girl like that, knew all the bumps and dents on my head and made me pretty. Didn't have to say a thing she just did it. I asked her co-workers when I didn't see her and they told me she was working at another shop. Truned on my heels and went to the other shop. After a while at the other shop she wasn't there any more. Those co-workers weren't as helpful as the others at the other shop.

    Hard finding a good one and having to "try out" new butchers I mean cutters[xx(].

    Those girls are just contractors and not employees. They lease their space and the owners don't want customers to know where they went when they leave, hoping you'll find a new one you like in their shop.

    Or, it could be like the lady who cuts my hair. 40-something, nice lady, been using her for several years.

    Last time we went, she wasn't there. They were running a fundraiser for her, though. Seems she had a massive stroke and will no longer work, in the hospital, had to undergo brain surgery and has no medical insurance.

    And, she's got two kids in high school.

    We went to her fundraiser, and we offered to help set up another one, since whatever she got from the one we went to was a mere drop in the bucket.

    I would just like to be able to find someone who styles hair, and not give the "blunt page boy" cut that everyone seems to be giving....

    I have yet to find a good stylist..

    I haven't seen a barber/hair stylist since I quit wearing a flat top.

    I get my hair cut at home, crew cut. Been doing that for several years. I will keep my money in MY pocket, thank you.

    Why don't you just go to a barber shop? Where MEN go, and get their hair cut by MEN.

    It used to be illegal for a woman to cut a man's hair and vice versa. That was not a bad idea.

    I had a great one before I started shaving my melon. She would even come to my office to cut my hair. Looked like a 5' tall, 23 year old Tina Louise. I miss that girl.

    when I was in korea, the barber shop on base
    women would give you a hair cut, the a neck and head
    massage. god I miss those days.
    in England the barber shop, was a cat house.
    that was interesting.
    in japan I went off base, the women that cut my hair
    had warm hands, she gave great hair cuts. I got neck rub,
    back rub. nothing sexual, just a great massage.
    now days it just a hair cut on base

    Finding a good barber remains one of the toughest hunts on this planet! I had the same barber from the time I was 8 until I was 28, when the guy (who was 74 by then) just had enough and closed the shop (his feet were killing him). I was lucky enough to have him suggest another barber who I liked and who cut my hair for another 15 years until he contracted colon cancer and eventually died (RIP Dave). I was a wondering soul for about a year and reduced to getting my hair cut where ever I could find a seat in a barber chair until I found another small shop run by a man and his wife (both are barbers and both are very good at cutting hair). Hopefully the two of them will hang in there for at least a few more years.

    +1 My wife is a hair dresser and know the routine well. If she has your addy and phone# you will get a flyer soon that says "I have Moved". The rents have been Horrid lately, and newbie hair dressers seem to have the "attitude" that the experienced co-workers don't like.

    It's a long drama story. Could be other things, But I bet you get the picture,
