I am one of those rare women who hates going to the hairdressers. It always comes out covered in spray, costs a fortune and you have to endure someone inanely going on about their holidays in Tenerife for an hour while you sit there, vulnerable under the scissors.
I cut it meself and let the natural wave take care of the um...'style' ;)
I hate going to the hairdresser's too, but I've got a perm and I'm growing it (in fact, my default icon is a pretty good representation of my hair, though the face is the wrong shape), so I just go once a year to have the perm re-done. And I know what you mean about hairspray - it's definitely on my list of Substances To Be Avoided, along with air freshener.
I hate having my haircut too - now I have it done at a barbers who will also wet-cut women's hair. It's in Bush House, in Central London, which is why it's over 30 quid, but the guy who does it is great, cutting it exactly the way I want, and not sticking anything on it at all.
Not all that rare, I don't like it either and was talking at the school date yesterday with someone else who doesn't. However, my hair isn't long *because* I don't like the hairdresser, as I used to have it shorter/trimmed more often (and equally did not like the hairdressering experience much). We seem to have found a sensible place that doesn't wants to do anything other than what you simply ask for, although a new person a while back mentioned "texturise" and I thought better of it and cancelled the booking. I've had about 2 hairdressers in my whole life who I actively liked going to. Ah, no, make that one.
He was called Matthew, was also a whizz with the (at the time) little 'un, didn't say anything inane (was actually very with-it and hence went of to make his fortune). I want him back.
I have never actually been to a proper hairdresser in my life. First it was cut by a friend of my mum's in her kitchen, then by a friend of my sisters in the living room and since she got her degree and hairdressing nis beneath her - I just chop bits off with desk/kitchen scissors when it gets too annoying. I keep meaning to try this place where they give you a glass of wine to ease the stree - Ithink there it will be £28.
