I consider myself to be a very low key/low maintenance person...I choose to paint my own nails rather than go to a pedicurist, I enjoy Jason's infrequent massages rather than going to a massage therapist and I LOVE my $25 hair cuts over paying an arm and a leg at a salon!
When I moved to Kitchener I kinda took advantage of the fact that my sister in law Sandy had a fabulous hairdresser named Jordan and made her my regular hairdresser as well...She was the first person (other than my mom, who cut my hair til I was about 16) that understood my hair is thick and wavy and therefore cannot be cut like normal thin straight hair...Well 6 years ago our fantastic hairdresser decided to go and start a family and ended her career as a hairdresser...Thankfully Sandy became good friends with Jordan and she was able to get a new hairdresser, Marian, who happens to be Jordan's mom...The talent definitely runs in the blood there! I again took advantage of Sandy's connections making Marian my regular hairdresser as well and whenever Sandy mentions "I need a hair cut", I say "book one for me too"...So for the past 2 almost 3 years I have tagged along to Marian's when Sandy goes and we get our hair done together...We only go once every 4 or 5 months, but Marian is fantastic and I have yet to have been disappointed with the things she has done with my hair or the hilarious "barber shop talk" that happens when we are there...
Tonight I met Sandy at Marian's after work for a trim and got the news no woman ever wants to hear...My hairdresser is retiring *tear*...To make matters worse, Sandy has decided that since she found the last two hairdressers it is now my turn to hunt us down a new stylist...Well how in the heck am I going to find someone who has Marian's talent, personality and price?!?!? For $25 she washes (my fav part of getting my hair cut, it's so relaxing), cuts and styles!
So I am now on the hunt for a new hairdresser and I am about 99.99% sure that I cannot get the same quality for the same price, so I may have to bite the bullet and become a visitor of an over-priced salon...
If anybody in the K-W area has a good hairdresser please let me know!
Hope every body has a good week!
