Wish We All Could Be California Girls!!!

I'm thinking that living in California is the place to get the best haircut possible. If there is any place on earth to get a styling hairdo it would be in the San Francisco area. However, that has not been my experience. When we first arrived in Pacifica, I went into a hair salon that was close-by. I showed them how I liked to have my hair cut (Kathy Dunham had given me an extra good cut so that my hair was at it's best) and they assured me that they could handle my request. Well, the stylist cut the top short so it would spike and pulled a long piece down over my left eye and cut it to a sharp point. Thank goodness my hair grows quickly!!! Next I called Sister Blair who I replaced and asked who she had cut her hair. She referred me to Hair Techniques. Christine, the stylist there had just returned from a show in New York and was bubbling over with confidence. Only problem was, she scalped me over my ears so that all you saw was pink flesh!!!!

There had to be a solution to the simple problem of a good haircut here in fashionable San Francisco. You know your hair looks awful when the sweet Filipino sisters even comment on it. One suggested, "You need to go to a Chinese stylist. Americans just cut, cut, cut!" And she was right. Even Tom was concerned about my hair and mentioned it to his barber. She, Amy, said she knew how to cut women's hair that was trimmed over the ears: so I gave her a try. I was nervous, but courageous and it turned out the best so far. I can't believe I go to a barber. It's a no frills experience, but am I ever saving money...$16.00 a cut. It will be good to get back to Kathy and well worth the extra dough.
