Birthday Party - The Second Coming

[wiseheart]

As you all know by now, LJ has decided to crash our birthday party - the original post is no longer visible. But some of us still had most of the comments in our inbox and decided to reconstruct the original party as well as we can, because we had great fun and the discussions were wonderful.

However, to avoid the same mishap occurring to us, we've decided to open up a second entry for further comments while working on rebuilding the original. We still have two days left, and we won't allow LJ to crash our party!

The original entry had 1328 comments, on 6 pages. The reconstructed party has now 500+ (all reposted within one day and a few new ones added), having reached Page 7 already.

Let's see what else can we come up with. New guests are welcome to share the fun. :)

My main annoyance with previous hairdressers was that they never believed me that yes, I actually do want my hair cut *that* short because it annoys the Jeebus out of me when it hangs into my neck. So I switched to one who works mainly for men, and she has no problems with finally freeing the nape of my neck so that I can wear blouses with colalrs without getting them dirty from my hair in no time.

Hairdressers always seem to think they know best.

I remember as a teenager getting my hair cut - it was just about long enough to sit on and I wanted it in a bob. They insisted on chopping about 4 inches off at a time, and checking if that was the length I wanted it :S

I have had that problem as well; at least this one did actually cut my hair as short as I wanted it. I took the advice of another LJ-friend of mine who suggested I tell the hairdresser how I didn't get my hair cut more than every six months or so and that I was really looking forward to having it short again. That seems to have done the trick, and I am really pleased with how it turned out this time. I can put up with know-it-all comments about how I 'should' blow dry my hair for the relatively short period the actual hair cutting takes for the pleasure of getting it done the way I want it.

I've been going to the same person for years - he knows me and my hair, I just tell him how short I want it and he does the rest.

So far I haven't managed to find a hairdresser around here that consistently believes me when I tell them how short I want my hair cut. I thought I had got it two times before last, but then when I went back to the same place I ended up with a hair cut I really wasn't pleased with: just short enough around the front and far too long in the back.

Yeah I got lucky - he was recommended to me by a friend, I have never been unhappy with my cut. And as he owns the business I don't have to worry about him leaving for another salon.

It is nice to know there are good hairdressers out there; I am pleased for you that you have found one. Maybe one day I will be as lucky too.
