Gotta get there

I am often befuddled by the differences I do not see when women go to $200 stylists and others who go to $30 stylists.

No woman in her right mind would ever say that to her friends who routinely spend so much money on their hair. I, partly because I need to go more often than they do with my short hair and partly because I always wonder if there is something I should be seeing that I don't.

When I took oil painting classes my teacher taught my eyes to discern very small differences in hues, so I know it is possible to learn something you never even knew existed before.

I can see the difference between a good cut and a not good one on me, but that can come from a Walmart hair stylist who is just good at her job. If I find a person who works for me I stick with her.

Still, it sends shivers down my back when the ladies begin talking about their hair. I don't know which of us is better at finding the right place, but I think it probably really depends on who has the most self confidence.

Most seventy year old women that I know are: drumroll -- VERY CONFIDENT.
