I'm interested in trading cuttings of 'Lady Margaret', 'Amethyst', 'Constance Elliot', and possibly citrina and foetida for your 'Anastasia', 'Betty Myles Young', and 'White Wedding'.

In the nest town 9 miles over I go to a lady who has her shop right in her home. I pay 15 dollars thats including a small tip> For years now I tell them I want my hair cut 2 or 2 1/2 inches long all over. I never get a bad haircut. I usually get it cut about every 6 or 8 weeks. Now since I have psoriasis I have to have it a little longer in the back on the bottom to cover that up. She has leukemia though so I dont know how long she will be able to keep doing it. I have gone all over for a haircut but if I tell them how I want it cut I have no problem. My hair grows fast. Once in a while I'll cut it in between myself because it gets to long. I also cut my husbands hair. We bought a clipper at Target to do it and I do a pretty good job. Except for the time we were going to Canada for an INTERNATIONAL CLOGGING CONVENTION and I scalped him in one spot in the back and when it came time to do the NATIONAL ANTHEMS he had to go in the bathroom because he couldnt take his cap off. His hair grows fast too. It is easier to cut if it isnt too long though.

You did not create this drama. Alcohol abuse created this drama. I have little doubt it was the alcohol that spoke up about a Mohawk. And I am grateful you are willing to be open with everyone here. I find the kitchen table a nice place to share ideas, learn new things and best of all make new friends. Kind words from strangers on this screen have meant a great deal to me. As for a second rate soap opera, well why on earth would someone waste her time watching that if she had something better to do? Remember the old saying, if you don't have anything nice to say ....

Toomuchglass - be prepared to faint. I am about to change hairdressers. If we weren't having a major snow storm with everything pretty much closed, I would have phoned for an appointment today. Prior to this development I had to pay almost the same amount where I was going - and where I went before that. I have very thick, naturally wavy hair. Fortunately, I do not get highlights. The starting price of $130+ really would be about $300 Cdn. for me. The colour will be more than the $90 and the cut and blow dry will be more than the $70.00. This I know for sure, based on past experience. Generally, the lower blow dry prices (included with the haircut) are based on the least experienced hairdresser. Sometimes there are colourists and hair stylists and you pay $X for the colour and then pay $Y for the level of the person who cuts/dries your hair. You have to watch out for this. Unless I am going somewhere I do not care about the blow dry - in summer I am happy to leave without it - but every second time I do need the haircut and then I need someone who knows what they are doing. I need the colour every time I go - thank heavens for hats and that I am very fair and need one - plus auburn hair colour fades fast. My hair is very deceptive but a good hairdresser can do anything with it - I can do nothing. I prefer to have someone who won't go crazy! Funny to be my age and people still want to do my hair. Yes it will grow, and grow it has been doing - now I need some layers put back in plus another couple of inches in length would be nice so that I don't look like a brillo pad.
