I haven't known most of you for very long, so I didn't expect you to notice, but yes, I got my hair cut. A whopping 4 inches (even though I only asked for 2). Is it just me, or is a good hair stylist hard to find? Not that there aren't plenty of good hair stylists out there, it just seems that I don't know them. 

For this recent cut, I picked a reputable salon on my walk home from work. Obviously, I didn't want to be inconvenienced by walking out of my way. I read the stylists profiles and some reviews online, and picked the stylist who "has a passion for hair and is an expert at creating soft, long layers." Sounds great right? Well, maybe in a week or two that's what I'll have. But for now I've got that "I just went and got my hair cut and should have paid more or gone elsewhere so that the ends of my hair wouldn't look like they were cut on a chopping block."  

To me, one of the attributes of a great hairstylist is being able to give you the cut you want, but to trim the ends in a way that doesn't scream "I just got my hair cut". Well, for this head of hair, maybe next time. Fortunately, hair grows. Until then, beware the screaming.
