Locks of Love

Finding a good hairstylist is almost like finding a good husband.  Yes, Dad, I realize that they aren't exactly on the same level of importance.  But for all of the ladies out there that do have a good stylist, and have had a bad one, they know exactly what I am writing about. 

Like a good husband, they can make you feel pretty, they can make you smile, they can make you jump with joy for sheer delight over the color of your hair.  Who else is guaranteed to be with your on your wedding day?  Your husband, and most likely your hair girl.  Who is with you through births, deaths, different jobs, and new Jennifer Aniston cuts?  Yes, your hairstylist.  They are vital.  VITAL.  And when I couldn't find one where we live... well if I was talking about husbands, the world of E-Harmony could solve that problem. But I can't pick up the laptop and have my hair look spectacular.  Rather, through a series of trial and errors with bad color, horrendous cuts, and some weird looks by friends, I have learned who around town is talented, and who shouldn't have graduated beauty school. 

Confused by my rant?  Well you should see my hair.  Then the confusion would clear and you would know that I had recently trial and errored... and landed in an error.  A big, short, oddly yellowed blonde colored, error.  And I had to go to preschool pick up today.  It was awful, and I don't look good in hats.

So tomorrow after she fixes what she started, we are going to break up.  And I will once again drive the three hour trek to my hometown to have my hair colored, cut, and styled by the best hairstylist I have ever met this side of celebrity cuts.  She's good folks.  And if you live there, you should go there.  If we were talking in terms of husbands, she would be a keeper for life.  But luckily I already have one of those, and he's supportive of my gas guzzling treks just to keep up with some simple highlights. 

So I have learned my lesson once and for all.  If you've got a good husband, you're a lucky lady.  And if you have a good husband and a great hairstylist, well then who needs the lottery.  If your hair looks great tonight, give your girl a hug.  And load up the tips. There are towns across America tonight that aren't as lucky as yours.  And our hair speaks for itself.
