Hairdo and Hairdon't

I hate having my hair cut. My last haircutting experience didn't help this at all.

I wanted to be able to give the stylist an idea of what I wanted so I looked for pictures online. I found one I liked - a "regular person" picture, not some super model or movie star picture. I understand that my hair, it's thickness and growth pattern, means that I may not end up with something exactly like the picture. That's not a problem, I just wanted something similar.

I showed the stylist the picture. She told me what she thought would look best. I told her again what I wanted. She repeated what she thought would be best. About this time I begin thinking that it's less a matter of what would look best but what she was capable of doing. I gave in, afterall, if anything more than trimming a few inches off all the way around is more than she feels she's able to do, who am I to argue?

I need another haircut and I think I'll try some place different this time.
