I hear ya puregrrl. Ya get a good one that listens to ya or knows how you want it and don't try to sell ya everything under the sun and either they up and move or you up and move, lol. I'm trying to think, I think I've only had 6 people cut my hair my entire life and I'm 54, lol. I guess that's not to bad, lol, at least I'm loyal!

In my experience, I've found that going to the beauty school is always the best option for me. I pay $8.50 for shampoo, cut, blow-dry and style... and I usually tip $4-5. I guess the way I see it is, because I usually go for edgy haircuts, my friends who are there with the mohawks and purple hair are probably the best ones to do my hair...

I pay £30 (approx $50) on average for a very quick cut and shampoo ... takes 10 to 15 minutes max and the quality is very hit and miss.

I've been struggling to find a good hairdresser here in London ... one of my best friends was a hairstylist in my previous location (Belfast) and I was able to always get a fantastic cut that suited me for around half the price I'm paying in London and some good conversation and coffee thrown in also.

I will do you one better, my man!

2 hair stylists in 41 years!

Seriously. Went to my first one starting at age 9 (I assume my mother did it before then). Saw her until I switched to this one 13 or so years ago.

THAT is loyal!

(of course, it is notable that I am a commitment phobe in my personal life, so maybe I shouldn't start shouting from the rooftops! ha!)

for the last few yrs my son and i have used the same hairdresser....she is an older woman,her help is older as well,and a lot of her clientele are older/elderly ppl..she charges everyone the same price...$10 for a wash,cut and dry--regardless of sex or age--i stick with her simply bc my son is picky and this is only the 3rd person is has liked

Yep, that is loyal! Well mine either moved out of the city I was living, had one die of breast cancer when she didn't need to do so, crazy church she got involved with didn't believe in modern medicine or surgery. I could still kick her butt, left a 9 yr old son behind. But, yep, ya got me on that one.
