I've had one official haircut in about 10 yrs - I cut it myself, and have become fairly proficient at it, though it takes a long time to get it right! The haircut I had was about 2 yrs ago, for my sisters wedding. I've always found hairstylists to be really rough with my head, to the point of nearly crying, especially when they wash your hair. Alot of them have really long nails. Also, I really hate the chemicals, especially hairspray.
Mostly it seems they deal with 'normal' women, who love to shop, chit chat, pamper themselves, etc. I've actually felt some of them mad at me, though maybe I'm wrong.
Possibly the worst part is the small talk, which I cant do, and it ends up with an unbreakable silence...I'm not fond of looking at myself at the end, and often feel I've let them down by not blabbing on about my life, and not being 'thrilled' about the look.
