NOT GOOD!!!

Getting ready for my cruise, I decided I wanted a professional to do my hair. They always seem to do a better job than I do. Last time my hair was bouncy and shiny and you couldn't even tell that it was thinner, but the lady who did it before only works on Saturday now. So I decided I would go to JC Penney because I had heard some good things.

I tried to do a walk-in and the lady told me, the only people that did African-American hair were booked solid and she could get me in for a wash & set only and it would be two and half hours later. I said okay.

I came back at the appointed time and sat for 10 minutes and stylist comes up and says, "I'll be about 10 minutes, I had a walk-in". Okay, I tried that and it didn't work for me. I waited another 20 minutes and was 2 minutes from leaving when she reappeared and said she was ready.

I told her about the walk-in thing and she said she didn't understand why that happened but just ask for her next time.

She kept telling me how pretty & long my hair was and said I must be part Indian. She said a lot people don't like to do long hair but she loved it and that she never got jealous. She told me to be careful cause some stylist get jealous of people with long hair. (My hair is kinda "jacked" at the moment, it thin, shedding & breaking) I explained that I was having hair problems and she told me how she could really grow hair and that she could stop the breaking cold.

She washed my hair, blow dried and then, filled it grease. I asked "What are you putting on my hair" She said "Grease, girl, I'm old school". When she finished my hair looked even thinner, I had a greasy fore head and it wasn't even straight. (I could have done better myself).

I went to pay the bill and didn't pay it much attention, I used my debit card. When I went to put it in the check book, I notice a $15.00 charge for long hair. I WISH I HAD LONG HAIR. My hair is little below my shoulders, not even what I would call medium, maybe almost medium.

Don't think I'll be going back.

That right there, would have been enough for me. I had one really, extra bad experience in Pittsburgh and vowed never to take ish from a stylist again.

In fact, one time when dh and I drove up to pittsburgh I had an appointment a Bobby J's (ladies from Pitt may know of this salon). I told the receptionist I wanted a dry cut:
me: yes, dry.
her: (attitude) hold on (in background - yeah, she said sumpin about a dry cut...) Yeah, hello? come in at 2.

I get there at 2, wait, wait, wait...the place is packed and there are hot combs and flat irons just a flying.

The stylist, after 30 minutes, mianders over and says, "You wann a dry cut? Well, I can't cut your hair like that, because it's curly. You need to get cho hair WARSHED and blow dried."

Me: (like an idiot) ok.
After waiting another 15 minutes, I called dh and told him to come pick me up. I was not about to have another stylist snatch me bald, at least not in Pittsburgh again....hmmmphf
