Cheater

I cheated. Betrayed trust. Broke unspoken promises. I didn't plan on this happening, it just did. One of my best friends made the introduction and in fact, this is someone who she has been seeing for years. I can't turn back now. I left our first encounter feeling inspired and beautiful. This person has fresh ideas, a new perspective and quite frankly..... she does good hair. That's right I found a new stylist, and will thus be leaving the woman who has been cutting my hair for the past year. I do feel guilty. It's a bit like breaking up. But a girl has gotta do what a girl has gotta do. I spent Saturday with one of closest friends, Erica. We met for brunch and then she took me to her stylist, a woman who she has been doing her hair for years. Erica raves about her, but I didn't put much stock into her evaluation since she happens to have some of the most beautiful hair of anyone I know. It would be pretty hard to mess it up. But I gave her a shot, and decided to kiss the bangs buh-bye. I'm quite pleased with the result. I have been converted. I have a new stylist, one who is closer to my Oakland home, is talented and best of all.....serves wine with a cut. How could I resist?

  1. It looks great Rachel! I had to leave my stylist too which happens to be right there on 32nd Avenue and so now I find myself walking quickly past the shop and making a total beeline and leaving my husband with the kids during trick-or-treat street. Breaking up is never easy! :)

  2. Wow, you're brave to check out a new stylist! I'm not that brave- I get my hair cut once a year or less, whenever I'm in NH and I can see Amy (she's on my Awesome List). It looks great!!

  5. Beautiful. I, like Jimmy Carter, commit adultery, albeit, hairstylist adultery, in my heart. I always long for another stylist, one who can cut the perfect "pixie" cut. Just when I think I have found him/er, I am disappointed. Perhaps I am one of those individuals who can never be pleased. I will have to try your new love out when I am in Oakland in June/July. Just don't tell David. He changed to my current stylist after breaking up, at my urging, with Dan after twenty odd years.

  7. Cute! And how could you turn down wine. You're making me want to chop off my hair.

  8. SO CUTE! I've been "shopping" for about three years now. So far I haven't been lucky, but I know that perfect stylist is out there for me somewhere!
