Someone Would have to die before I got a Wednesday appointment.

Sounds to me as if that hairdresser feels her importance a little too much. I think sticking with your usual hairdresser is very important. Someone who knows your hair & has been doing it for a long time is your best bet. It is hard to do anyones hair & get it just right the first time.

I guess you could say she knows her worth, and how to keep her clientele happy. I so seldom get my hair cut, and half the time I just do it myself. I also have a niece who will cut it. And it is NEVER straight. I hope that you can find someone who is not quite so exclusive but will do a good job on your hair.

I can't imagine that happening here unless it was some ritzy salon in Bevery Hills.

Hi Cynthiann, No, we don't have such an issue here at all. I could just walk into almost any hairdresser during the week and even without an appt. or a history, get my hair cut. The only time that could be a problem would be on a weekend when they are busy. The hairdresser's here don't discriminate....the customers do. We all have our favorites. There are only a couple that I really trust to go to. So, how are you having it done?

Hi, cythiann. Congratulations to your daughter on her marriage! I met only one hair dresser like this that was unable to do my hair for an event that I wanted to attend to. This happened in, 2008. I wanted to get my hair pressed for church. We was having a Watch Night Service for the new year to come in. Well, I called her earlier that day. She said that she was doing her last hair in the afternoon and that she was going out of town, I think. Well, I felt as if she could have at least tried to accommodate me. I mean, she has been telling my mother-in-law so many times to tell me to come in to her shop and get my hair done when I felt like it. Well, I finally did. And on my first time she declined me. How does she expect to gain clientele if she does not even take in her new clientele? I could became her potential and long lasting client for all that she may know of. Well, I was disappointed, so I ended up going to a lady that does my sister and my cousin's hair. She pressed my hair for me. And she did not get any money upfront for it either. She gave me the option to pay her back when I can though. I hope that you can get your hair done in time for your daughter's wedding. I just feel that she could have tried to squeeze you in, being that you wanted your hair done for your daughter's wedding. I told the young lady that I wanted my hair done for church and she did not consider this at all. My mother-in-law no longer goes to her to get her hair done at all. She said that she got tired of how strict this young girl's schedule was. She said that the hairdresser wanted to do her hair when she wanted to. She was no longer flexible anymore at all. It figures, why I don't even let her do my hair either!

Hey Cynth Hahahaha that is funny, yes I think you definately need more hairdressers that cut straight hair out there, man if that was the case here in the uk I would be so screwed hahahaha

Nope...in fact I can walk right in where I get my hair cut....doesn't matter what day and I can get it cut within twenty minutes! We have alot of shops in our town though so they have to work you in or not have customers! Most places here welcome walk ins!

Three? Must go looking for #2... I have no idea if it happens where I live. I go to the cheap place where you can just walk in!

I'd say it sounds like you need more hairdressers.. though I've never attempted to call any good ones myself. I tend to go where it's cheap!

well no it doesn't happen here. you can walk straight into the cheaper places and get your hair cut immediately. for straight hair they do it just fine. i think you might have to make an appointment to get afro hair cut or styled properly though. i think most of the cheaper places would make a complete mess of it.

Where I live, I have no problem having my hair done. There's way too many salons here for that problem to happen. And, the price range varies so everyone from the not-so-blessed to the richly-blessed could have a good hair day. Hope you finally book that appointment. And, congratulations on your daughter's wedding!

The better stylists are booked in advance. The one you picked has a reputation for being good so it isn't surprising she is very busy. When is the wedding?
