| - Why is it so hard to get a good haircut for a reasonable price? I've been looking for years and years, and it hasn't gotten any easier. I have naturally curly hair and no inclination to spend much time on it, so I just need a haircut that will bring out my texture and not take much time to style.
A friend of mine used to go to Rejuvenation and get her hair cut and colored. The cuts always looked terrific (the color did, too, even though her hair was a great color to begin with). I live in Sun Prairie, so driving over to Rejuvenation was a bigger time commitment than I wanted to make for my hair.
But when my friend told me that her stylist had moved to her own place (though sadly still on the west side), and then another friend (with very fine hair) was introduced to and liked this same stylist - I thought the time had come. That was how I had my hair cut by Amber.
She really knows her way around curly hair. The first time she washed it and then cut it, which cost a little more but scored me a neck massage (mmmmmm). The second time she cut it dry (which I've read about but never experienced before) which took about half the time but still gave me a terrific haircut.
Driving to the west side isn't so bad after all, as long as I'm getting such good haircuts. Also, Amber is nice to talk with. I've been to salons where the stylists are just too cool for their own good, and I was intimidated and felt like a lame suburban housewife (wait, never mind). But Amber is non-judgmental (even when I was severely overdue for a cut) and just very *nice*. An under-rated quality.
