Over 7 months and counting.
I went in for a relaxer touch up on December 10, 2010. She switched to Affirm from my beloved Design Essentials and that was all she wrote. I got tired of not having any control over stuff like that. She could just change whenever she wanted. I thought about buying my own products and giving them to her, but what's the point in that??
No plans to go back at all. I'm a total self-relaxer, trimmer, stylist, etc. Even with the holiday party season coming in a few months, I know I can do my hair myself for any occasion. I like simple styles anyway.
