No more! I Refuse to ever use services of a MAGA

30. I hate stylists that won't listen

I walked out in the middle, years ago, because she was suggesting strongly something I had no interest in. When I insisted on my decision, she said, and I quote, "Oh, honey, you just need a little push." At that point, I knew she'd cut it her way and be proud of herself for sticking me with the results. She lost a sale that day and the salon lost a customer thereafter.

And I stopped having my hair cut at all just before Covid. The latest stylist insisted I didn't look good in a pixie cut, which I'd had for years. Probably I don't, but I need my hair out of the way of the microscope lens and I don't give a bat crap how it looks. The dogs and cats don't care either and neither does DH. When I tried to explain this to her, she looked at me like I'd just started to speak Ancient Sumerian. She kept inching me towards a full 'Karen' helmet head which would have required shellac to keep out of my way even if it was more age appropriate. And, ew...Ew, ew, ew!

It's now halfway down my back. I get 3" trimmed once yearly to help the short ends catch up. I tie it back and it stays put. Cheap and easy.
