How do I break up with my hair stylist?

[3catwoman3]

20. My stylist is the owner of the salon. She is fabulous, and I have told her...

...that if she moves or retires before I die, we will have to video her doing my cut so someone else will know what to do. She uses 4 different tools to accomplish the cut.

I found her by following someone into the produce section of a grocery store right after we first moved here, and asking her the name of her stylist. This woman is the only one to have touched my hair in almost 22 years. I would follow her anywhere.

I think a brief, factual, polite note to your former stylist would be sufficient.
