[Porcupine]

I have always been very loyal to my hairdresser. I first started going to a place in my local town, and when that shut down and my hairdresser went mobile / solo I stuck with her.

I then moved from Essex to Suffolk, but still I would travel to Essex to see my regular hairdresser as she highlighted and cut my hair perfectly. I then decided that it was daft, so i found a local hairdresser.

I have now been with them for years, but i have just booked at a new place. The new place had a special offer on for new clients, and its more handy for me. My regular hairdresser has just bought the salon, and as she is now the chief stylist her prices are really steep. But I feel almost guilty, like im cheating on her !! I keep thinking that, if the new place doesn't work out I will have to go crawling back to her and she will know that the current highlights aren't her handywork !!

How loyal are you ?

I'm not loyal to my hairdresser. You're paying for a service.

[elliecat]

I have been going to the same salon for 17 years and the same hairdresser for about 6 now. I am loyal as they know how to cut my hair (it is naturally very curly and a lot of places don't seem to understand how to treat it, it curls instantly for example.) My sister and my Mum also go there. It's not the most convenienrt it is a nearby village but I am happy with it.

I went to Toni & Guy for 8 years and in that time had 4 stylists as they always move on. My hair started to break off after highlights so I moved somewhere else and have been going there for 2 years and now that my hair is back to normal don't trust anyone else with it

[dragonrapide]

Yes, I am extremely loyal to my hairdresser. I cut and colour my own hair and have done so for years. I use good hairdressing scissors, and professional hair colour. No problem at all. Having said that, I am lucky as my hair is slightly curly so does not have to be sharply cut. I hate going to a hairdresser as they never seem to do my hair how I like it, or else they do it wonderfully the first time and then the next time the cut is so bad I have to put it right myself. Now I don't bother with all that expense, and my hair always looks good and I often get complemented on it.

[mariets]

Yes I am ,I've had the same one for 7 yrs and would never let anyone else touch my hair. I hope she doesn't retire.

[Porcupine]

I'm starting to worry now. I hope this new place is good. I have really long hair, and it literally is my crowning glory. I hope i don't make a mistake all for the sake of saving a few quid

[CarolAn]

I know what you mean Porcupine Maybe give them a shot and see how it goes! I'm not loyal to a hairdresser just go where the best deal is as highlights can be expensive.

[Unigal07]

I'm loyal to the hairdressing salon that I go to, but I don't mind which stylist I get

[Sarah.OX]

It is madness isn't it. I just hate the idea of grovelling back to my original hairdresser with wrecked hair begging for forgiveness.

The thing is, my hair costs roughly £80 to do, and the new salon are doing an offer ... so im getting it done for about £59. To me, thats a big difference.

I haven't had my hair cut this year

Neither have I. My last hair appointment was last August. I have white highlights put in, and my hair is long. Luckily (ish) I have developed a startling amount of grey hair over the last few years ... so i am now sporting natural highlights !!

[Custardtart]

No .I hate getting my hair cut ,so don't go very often and go to a different place every time .I can't find anywhere I like either . Plus it's always so expensive .

[cold tootsies]

Not really. I will take note of a stylist's name if they do an exceptional job and sometimes go back to the same one but I also just go wherever there's a groupon offer

[Tech Lover]

Nope, because my hair cut is always an easy one.

[Porcupine]

OK, had my hair done at the new hairdressers and they did a brilliant cut. BUT, although I ask for my highlights to be white, they have come out a little yellow. I kept stressing the white thing, but its not quite right.

So, can anyone suggest anything to make bleached hair more white ? I already have one of those Blonde toner correction shampoos, but anything else.

[littlebooties]

I keep going to my hairdresser because I like the way he cuts it BUT if he started cutting it how I didnt like or wouldnt do what i wanted I would go somewhere else.

I cut it myself sometimes and dye it too and he doesnt like it when I do that but its my hair and I will do with it what I please!

[s15859]

Nope. The one that I find the best is too far. The ones near me are all crap but have to get rid of split ends.

[ShreddedParts]

I WAS loyal to a local hairdresser until they let a junior run riot with my hair, I wanted simple creamy blonde highlights which covered most of my head which I had before. This junior with the same haircut as Frankie Saturdays ended up colouring my hair this awful brassy ginger colour. It was horrid. My hair was also breaking and falling out. I never went there again. She no longer works there thank God.

Some years ago my ex in laws ALL swore by a local hairdressers, all the women in my ex husbands family would only use this hairdressers, which was run by Turkish women (my ex inlaws aren't Turkish, they're Irish). I took their advice and tried. I wanted some layers, they gave me a ****ing MULLET and the woman cutting my hair, her breath stank of Tuna. I never went there again and was told by a Turkish girl that had nothing to do with the hairdressers to "never use Turkish hairdressers as they WILL make you look like an 80's throwback".

This is whats happened to my hair. Its very gingery.

I'm sorry, but that really made me laugh. It must have been terrible, but the way you have posted made me spit my coffee out

[pink star 28]

i struggle to find a good hairdresser. my natural hair is quite thick but since i started gettin blonde highlights a couple of years ago, my hair is thin and brittle. they always over lap the colour so it breaks off. one time i went and so much hair was breaking off i cried. it was awful. so now i bleach my own hair and its started gettin thick again. don't think i could ever trust a hairdresser again. i went to four different ones and none of them did it how i wanted it.

Same here. Sometimes the trainees get it more right than top the stylists.

[lea_uk]

I had been going to the same hairdresser for about 20 years, but changed last year.

[rachymac]

For a while there I was going to loads of different places as I was a student and just went to wherever I could get a good deal from one of the daily deals websites!

However, there was one hairdresser I went to a few months ago who I really liked, and I've been back to him a couple of times since then and think I'll stick with him - he's working on a style with my layers (apparently) so I want to see how that works out once they've grown out a bit!

Having said that, a friend of my mum's is a hairdresser and I still go to her to get my highlights done - £30 for a full head!
