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'.

Lisa82, how nice of you to take the time to post the pics for me! I do like all three and especially like the middle one though I think her hair is long and she is pinning it up. You can see one long curl hanging by her earring. I have some dilemmas. First I have almost no brows so showing brows isn't working for me. My hair is so curly that if I had it cut that short I would have corkscrews all over my head and like Cattyles said, the models have great features. At 62 I can't think of one feature of mine that looks all that great. My eyes are still a pretty green color but no brows to speak of and while I don't have wrinkles I have a lot of texture to my skin. I really thought that letting my hair go curly was going to be easier and it really is but I never have a good hair day when it's curly unless I spend almost as much time on it as I do when I pull it straight. Yesterday was hair appt day. I wouldn't let my stylist do anything other than color and blow dry it because I go every five weeks and though my hair grows really fast she kept trimming off all the new growth. So one more five week period of letting my hair grow to see if I can get a prettier curl or next time it's getting cut shorter and I'll try to blow dry it as best I can. I do think maybe if I have it cut short and have less to deal with I may be able to start appreciating the curl.

To the OP, sorry that happened to you. Nothing can ruin a month or two, or even three (!) like a bad haircut. I'm a hair stylist 30+ years. It's time to find a new stylist. You've been ghosted by your old one. She's telling you, without telling you, that she doesn't want to work on you anymore. Do not reach out to her anymore. Look on Yelp for a new hair stylist for yourself. It's a useful resource. Start fresh and look forward. Give the current haircut time to grow out and get a little overgrown and then go in for a haircut--with a different stylist. The new person will need to have something to work with. One bad haircut can happen to anyone. Twice in a row is a pattern. Time to start over with someone new. Wishing you better luck next time. Hugs Edit to add: Bring in a photo of yourself when you had a haircut you liked. Also, and more important, bring in a photo of yourself when you had a h/c you did NOT like. Visuals on the actual person are useful. Visuals on a person who is not you and has a different hair type, head shape, body mass, etc...are not too helpful in my experience. It's like apples to oranges.

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. Blowdry 50+ Haircut + Blowdry 70+ Colour 90+ Highlight 130+
