Hello ladies: I don't think that I have ever mentioned it, but I am a licensed cosmetologist (have been since 1997)
Speaking for myself, I would not be upset if my patron went to someone else because they were out of town or what-have-you. But, I would get upset if you went to someone else, they messed you up, and you came back to me to fix it
. My cousin and aunt are both cosmetologists and they say that they get upset when they constantly try to talk their patron to try a new cut, or color or something, the patron refuses but, they in turn, go somewhere else and lets that person talk them into it.
Also, just a little advice...if you know that you are going out of town for a while, you may want to let your stylist know (I'm sure you probably tell her everything else
) and ask her if she can refer you to someone in that city...you never know what types of contacts she may have (we go to international conventions at least twice a year), and it will make her feel as if she was a part of your decision. I hope this helps.

Sweet dreams are made of this...
