I have thin and very fine, silky hair. Used to get a perm every 5 months or so from the same hairdresser for about 10 years. Then, for whatever reason, I wasn't happy with the way she did my hair any more. So I changed to another girl in the same shop and loved how she did my hair. Then I moved. A friend recommended a hairdresser who did hair in her home. Her cuts were good, but when she gave me a perm it was horrible (frizzy and like straw). Never had a perm since. My hair may be flat and lifeless, but at least I have hair. Have to look on the bright side. ;) It sounds like you found a good hairdresser who knows how to work with your type of hair. The real test will be the perm. <br /><br />The picture of Smitty and Sadie is priceless. Looks like Sadie is kind of grossed out about Smitty's "gift" too!Janaramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165028950761520752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-40257014497790970472016-07-30T09:12:44.351-07:002016-07-30T09:12:44.351-07:00What is it with hairdressers anyway?

Make friends with her so if she switches shops you know where she is or just bring her home with you :). <br />The caption for the picture of Smitty and Sadie is perfect, I love to laugh first thing in the morning :)Dana Gaffneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023202806714127984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-52833891566582325402016-07-30T06:23:00.389-07:002016-07-30T06:23:00.389-07:00I have a great hairdresser (shop) right in our lit...I have a great hairdresser (shop) right in our little town. They all go above and beyond to address any one's needs (inabilities or disabilities). She knows my winter cut versus my summer cut, takes the time to set up the shampoo area as I can only sit a certain way. And I use a regular chair versus the cutting chair. Moe has been successful with keeping squirrels out of the bird feeders and Bella has developed a taste for rabbit. They are lucky I have a strong stomach.

And it's ...I SO empathize with the bad hair!!! And it's almost impossible to find a stylist who understands and can really do something magical with fine, thinning hair!!! My hair is so baby fine and thin that it tends to burn with a perm, especially the follow-up perm after the first one grows out a bit. Since moving to TN, I hadn't found a stylist that I trusted to give me a perm, so it has been flat and lifeless for the last 12 years. I bit the bullet in the spring and had my old hairstylist from NC give me a body perm during my last visit home - what a wonderful change!!! I'm so glad I did it and have a follow up perm scheduled during our visit next month. I hope you will be as delighted with your new perm!!!<br /><br />Loving your Bee blocks and can't wait to see your newest Chicken block. I had housework on my agenda for today too - but I think it is going to get rescheduled :*).

I finally have the right supplies and am almost finished with block one. I do my hand stitching in the evening while watching tv with my husband. I'm definitely a lot slower than you are. In four evenings I am left with one grouping of flowers to finish. That should be this evening then on to block two. <br /><br />Don't you love the gifts from your cat? It's lizard season here and Lana brought another toy inside. The tails are the first thing to go on the lizard. Sometimes we don't catch that a lizard came in and it is such a surprise when we uncover one. Love that cat!SJSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16370080233134944653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-22441581196236783432016-07-29T19:13:44.237-07:002016-07-29T19:13:44.237-07:00I had a hairdresser turn my hair burgandy/purple. ...I had a hairdresser turn my hair burgandy/purple. I cried! I'd told her just how to mix the color, and even called my old hairdresser (in another state) so that she could tell her. The lady didn't listen. Did I mention that I cried? I'd just moved to town a short time before. One of the ladies I volunteered with, told me about another volunteer, that did hair from her home. I've been with her for 13 years now. She's GREAT! So nice to find someone who listens and makes your hair NICE. Glad you found someone. Good luck with the perm next month.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-492043754414626012016-07-29T19:07:34.751-07:002016-07-29T19:07:34.751-07:00Sounds like you found a good stylist, hooray!

Never was a hair person. Always went to cheap haircutters too, so rarely was the same way twice - short as possible without looking mannish. Now I go every other month and get the EXACT SAME CUT every time. All I have to say is take it all off and "too short" is impossible. No faffing with hair for me. Good luck with your new hairdresser - I know one who "gets" what you want is hard to find. I went to a great and cheap one for a few years but then she moved away. And it was back to whatever they interpreted as "short, but not to short"!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02509783349222779019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-1822839048448321902016-07-29T16:36:38.202-07:002016-07-29T16:36:38.202-07:00I changed hairdressers a few years back and have b...I changed hairdressers a few years back and have been SO happy.

So good for you -- I hope the new one maintains your trust! Housework???
