The two hairdressers I go to now are a give and a take. They both do a great job, but one is a "traditional" salon-- she has better prices but takes a while (3-4 hrs). The other only does natural hair and is too expensive for me to go every 2 weeks, but she gets me in and out in an hour and a half. So I have a "regular" and a "special occasion" stylist.
Back when I had a perm, I had one lady who hooked me up with the
PERM OF AGES-- Lawdamercy it was
so straight and shiny and bouncy... but I was always in her shop for 4 hours minimum, and I had to go on weekday afternoons because it was an all-day affair on the weekends. But between my grades suffering and my hair suffering, you know I had to make that good choice. After I stopped going to her, my hair just went south, so I grew the perm out a little and cut it all off!
The first stylist I went to after going natural was always late for my appointments, but she did the prettiest twists and kept my eyebrows arched and everything. I knew it was close to the end when she was late for my appt.
the day of my cotillion and it was over when she straight FORGOT about both my mom and me the day before my graduation and we had to wait on her for two hours.
