We all knew that this was coming
So...I'm on the hunt for a new hairstylist.
Frankly, I knew this was coming and really so did anyone else who reads my blogs. After my first appointment, my hair wasn't straight and that is ALWAYS a bad way to start a relationship with your hairstylist. And although I was a religious every 2 week customer, I was put on the "naughty" list. I dared to cancel an appointment. Never mind it was 48 hours in advance and never mind that I tipped on every visit despite the bloated prices.
To be black in San Francisco if a bad thing when you want to get your hair professionally done.
So now I am looking for a new hair stylist. My current hairstylist has been "busy" for the past month. Essentially I've been placed on hold. I'm sure he'll be magically available in 2 weeks when he thinks I'll call again. However, even in the dearth of black hairstylists, I'm determined to find one and give them my hard earned money.

Damn, Damn, Damn!
So...I went to get something done with my hair on Saturday. $140 later I am EXTREMELY ticked about the state of it. This morning I had to FLAT IRON my hair. For those of you who are not black or not familiar with what this means, let me explain.
I paid quite a bit of money for a relaxer and a haircut 2 days ago. My "relaxed" hair is more like semi-relaxed since I'm already re-straightening with a flat iron. It has been my experience that I wouldn't need to use a flat iron until at least the end of the week. However, this hair stylist used a REGULAR mixture after I told him that I needed a super mix. Some people don't believe that fat meat is greasy. Unfortunately this hair salon is closed today. However, they will hear from me tomorrow.
The cut is even worse! He gave me some "kicky" cut that only works if you have straight hair. It does not work with the hair that I have. My hair has already grown since this morning when I left the house. I look like a damned clown AND I am stuck at work.
Thankfully I only work with white people who are in awe of my ever changing hair but if I hear one more "how do you get it so full?" comment I will be forced to ask for bail money. And before anyone who knows me asks, NO I am NOT sending pictures of this haircut.
