Again, you are so right Dancer. I think we (at least me) are afraid if we tell them "the truth" that they may stop us from coming there again. If it is a salon we like, we have that fear....course then again, if they treat you that way, I suppose it is time to move on anyway....

I see why so many women stick with a winner. Once you get a good one, they are worth their weight in gold.

I think I've mentioned this before, but...I hated my strawberry blonde hair as a young teen so as soon as I was allowed I went blonde from the bottle. My hair darkened in the winter and was so red. In the summer it lightened. I stayed blonde for years and years. In 2004 my hairdresser, a woman I adore and trust, told me it was time to "make friends" with my red hair. As I aged and grayed underneath the blonde was almost impossible to keep without looking weird. So she began putting me back together as a redhead. I've since found a shade that's over the counter and agrees with me. Occasionally, I have felt the need to have my hairdresser do it for me. I have some very stubborn silver hairs that glow through right over my ears and at my hairline. Thanks, dancer, for bringing up this subject. It's always interesting to see what others do and what works for them!
