I’ve had the same hair stylist for years. She has seen me through Big Hair, Mall Bangs, perms, long hair-to-short hair, and an ungodly amount of lip waxing.
She is my hair Miracle Worker and helps me manage that weird little duck-butt-pouff that I sport on the left side of my head.
I have no complaints. She is wonderful. We have had a long a cozy relationship.
But once in awhile… My commitment weakens. My eye wanders.
I see other women with fab hair, and I wistfully long for cool streaks, textures, “spikey” cuts.
I see smoking-hot highlights, and I can’t help myself but to ask “who does your hair?”
The temptation is there, and I wonder what it would like to..ya know… experiment with someone NEW.
Is the grass greener in the other stylist chair?
So one day…I just DID IT.
I made up excuses in my head that it was “more convenient” and I was “at the wrong place at the right time.”
I took the plunge and let someone else cut my hair.
I “stepped out” on my stylist.
And you know, it wasn’t that great. It wasn’t magical, life-changing, or even worth the effort of getting hair on my collar.
And BOY, do I feel like a lying, cheating, deceptive HO now.
Do you think she’ll take me back?
My lip is getting pretty furry.
They will always take you back… that’s the best thing about a good stylist.
hahaha. That was hilarious. But I kind of know the feeling. I HAD to get my hair cut and colored this weekend, and my regular girl wasn’t there so I went to the only other one at the same place that I would trust. And shhhhh, don’t tell my regular, but I kind of like the other one better.
Just go back groveling. Take her cookies or something. All will be forgiven.
Oh thats bad real baaaad. Take wine.
I think you’re good. Just tell her the truth, that you love her best and give her an extra big tip.
Funny. Admit your mistake, beg forgiveness, make a new appointment, and offer a big tip. All will be better in the end!
LOL- You ho. I am sure she will take you back. Make up some story like you “won a haircut/color or someone gave you a gift certificate.” I will never tell:) I am following you back. Have a great weekend.
ahhhh! i’m sure just realizing she’s the cat’s meow (if you tell her) will be enough. i imagine they don’t take it personally. i have a fabulous person i’ve gotten mine cut off and on from since 2002. however, she’s a master stylist, so her prices keep going up
BUT of course when i’m unhappy, i think ‘should’ve gone to her and spent the $80 instead of thinking about how i wish i would have a better cut…’ 
take care! 
Funny how guilty we can feel at doing this, eh?
