"That looks horrible", I cried to my hair stylist as she completed adding "stuff" and blow-dried my hair into a pouffy style. This is the same woman that has cut my hair for fifteen years and has been through long styles, short styles, curly styles and knows the only time a blow dryer or curling iron gets used on my hair is in her chair. As I pushed the hair behind my ears, she laughed, and sprayed on some water to flatten it out.
I have a perception of how my hair should look - can't go for the polished "set". Growing up in the 70's with straight, long hair influenced my feelings on hair styles.
Too blunt with service professionals? Perhaps. Can she read my mind? Better to vocalize my thoughts than to walk out with a look I can't stand. I gave her a generous tip. Someone help me think of a word easier on the feelings of my stylist!
