Coif This.
After three years of going steady, I am calling it off.
The long-term relationship I longed for, search for, and finally found,
is now getting ugly, usually one-sided with un-enjoyable visits.
I have decided, I am breaking up with my hairdresser.
The up-do that broke the coiffured camel's back was a panicked
call from Kaz two days ago.
____
"I have a freakin' point in the back of my head."
"How did you lodge a blunt object into your skull?"
Kaz had starting frequenting a new hairdresser three months ago
after commenting on her customer's hair color picking up a large party-size combo
with three meatball grinders to go. The rest is history.
"This is not a laughing matter." Apparently, the situation had turned dire.
"I think she believes it's 1989, I would love her back-in-the-day creation,
and walk out blowing kisses back to her while getting into my IROC to drive home.
I look like an old-school ass."
"Three strikes and she's out. Move on."
"I am. Right after my next appointment."

Why is breaking up with a hairdresser worse than breaking off a relationship with a guy?
Some of us get rid of the would-be Mr. Rights faster than
we get rid of stylists who turn our hair a color not found in nature - or worse, give us bangs.
I just blogged about this very same subject not too long ago! I know EXACTLY what you mean. Mine was a 3 year relationship also. I still feel guilty. How weird is that?!?!?! haha I do love the new hairdresser though. I think it was a good change. I'm just left with guilt though.
Oh my friend Jenn also broke up with hers not too long ago also. We ran into the old hairdresser a few weekends ago. Awkward! lol

How are you??!!
Yes, coiffures have this magnetic holding power over us which freezes us in guilt - even when you see orange stripes in your head. And, yes, the orange stripes took forever to get out. And, I love how I keep getting told the orange stripes, "Give your hair dimension." Suck it with the dimension - you f-ed up my hair.
There is actually three of us moving on to other hairdressers.
Last time I saw my previous hairdresser in the supermarket, I basically did a home-run dive into the next aisle to avoid the run-in.
Talk soon,

J - you are too funny. Let's also not forget to mention the fact that my soon to be 'old' hairdresser is also getting the boot because of her inability to distinguish the difference between my dark brown roots and the blonde she made the rest of my hair?? Really? I am pretty sure you're not suppose to leave the hairdressing chair with your roots as dark as they were when you walked in - easpecially after sitting for about two hours with about 200 foils in your head!! Huh?!?!? I will be trying a new girl soon and have every finger and toe crossed that she can do something with this crap they call hair on my head. Talk soon!!! Kaz

Kaz!
Finally an appearance!
Sorry - forgot to mention the roots ordeal.
At least you don't have the orange stripes.
We should just start going back to the good ole' CVS color in a box.
Frig it. I can foil your head - it looks pretty easy - God knows we watched how its done enough times.
Let's go. I can do your head for Sat night.
I'll get some foil when I go grocery shopping tonight.
