I Miss Mine Too

[Supergirl]

My stylist that is. I see that another member has a thread about missing her stylist. I was feeling that same emotion today too. I kind of wanted to call her and tell her that on a personal level, I just adore her but that she really jacked up my hair last time I had an appointment. She's the kind that I could give honest feedback to. I still don't plan on going back to her, but I kind of want to tell her why.

She really is a darling.

That was me! Yeah, I want to call mine and ask her to do my hair again and just DON'T CUT IT!!! But I'm restraining myself. Although she made my hair gorgeous, she gossiped too much. And you know what they say...if they gossip to you about other people, they're gossiping about you too.

Suprgirl, I think she would really appreciate that! Espeacially if you were her client for a while. She would rather know the truth than speculate? Call her!! I would prefer someone tell me, then just cut me off without saying something!

I agree. I know she'll be happy to hear from you..... right now, she may be feeling confused, bewildered, a little hurt.... speculating and allowing her imagination to run wild. Calling her up will release her from this state, as well as reconcile your relationship/friendship. Just because you no longer seek her services on a professional level, doesnt mean that you all cant enjoy a positive acquaintance-ship/friendship, chit-chatting or getting together from time to time.

I'm sure they miss you too SG and Wishin. And your money too.


Seriously though, ITA with the posters who suggest you ladies let them know why you no longer see them. Like any relationship, you guys both would benefit from a little closure. You wouldn't divorce your hubby or break up with a boyfriend without telling them why-- it may help her work on her technique and spare another client the same drama.

I miss mine, too.

I had the best hairdresser when I lived in Cookeville, TN. She was the only person in town that did black hair care and she was still AWESOME. My hair had never been so thick and healthy and has never been that thick and healthy since. Many times, while I was still in Memphis, I was tempted to ask you ladies how far would be too far to travel to see an awesome stylist.

We became very close and she would take care of my hair even when I was unemployed and/or low on funds. She was not a SHS but, if you went in and told her you wanted a cut, you better be darn sure! Before I went to have my first baby, I had her cut it to a nape-length bob thing. She asked me if I was sure first and I was. For some reason, I thought it would be easier to take care of because I thought I could just slick it down or back or wear it curly when the baby allowed me to do so. I know now, that I do not have the type of hair that will slick back or down and I do not know how to curl my own hair. She and I grew my hair out from nape-length to just pasts shoulder length in less than 8 months. I know people will say that it was the baby and the prenatal vitamins but, seriously, left to my own devices, most of that hair would have ended up on the floor somewhere and neither of the other two babies had that or any thing similar to that effect on my hair. I truly believe it was her.

I miss her. She used to do my updos and not use any kind of "fillers" like those black sponges or knotted up braid hair and they would be so pretty. If I had a stylist like her, I'd keep my hair done and not worry about heat or protective styles (even though I know now that she was giving me protective styles without my knowing it) or anything because I would know that my hair was in good hands. She felt that every head leaving her shop was a representation of her.

I miss her. Diane Reed from New Image Beauty Salon in Cookeville, TN, if you're out there, send me a PM...please...just to say "hello" maybe...
