I had already embraced the gray, which I like to think of as hair tinsel or wisdom highlights. Post-pandemic I have returned to a bit shorter style and paid my long-time hairdresser for multiple haircuts the first few times back to help make up for lost income.

But the woman I go to now is wonderful and she's about my age (and has a daughter The Girl's age) so hopefully she'll be around for a while. She cuts The Girl's hair too, and The Girl doesn't trust anyone else.<br /><br />The Hubby cuts his own hair. I used to do it (badly, in my opinion), but I can't stand or move around for that long any more.<br /><br />My big pandemic change was going gray. I figured I'd "check it out" in November of 2019. I got one haircut at the beginning of 2020 and by the time I saw a stylist again, I was full "white-wall tire" as Julia once said. At that point, I felt committed. LOL It's not full gray, but there is a health helping of silver and in the right light, it *looks* completely silver. The Girl likes it.Liz Millironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04919409969263609919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-4579795046464677702022-11-15T00:52:25.521-05:002022-11-15T00:52:25.521-05:00So much fun to read all these!

Moving to the small town where he lived, I faced the problem of what to do about my hair. I carefully studied the heads of every woman I met, hoping to see a really great cut. But by the time needed a haircut, I still hadn't. So for the two years I lived in that place, I made the two-hour drive back to visit my Dallas guy.Gay Yellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03563945979041377280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-16406798099240190862022-11-14T15:49:05.514-05:002022-11-14T15:49:05.514-05:00Wonderful, best ever long-time dentist is retiring...Wonderful, best ever long-time dentist is retiring.

Even in my early career days, when I had NO money,I'd save for a good haircut. As a friend said, it's the only thing you wear every day. Of course there are several smooth year with someone who gets it, and is convenaint or reasonably priced or overpriced but genius. And then they retire or the salon closes or...No, not the most important thing in life, of course not. But one of those things that make life just a bit smother, right? Love the person I have now - we discuss our grandkids and Ukraine (where she is from) - and I come out looking neat and groomed.

He was very troubled by this (also note he is about 82, and not planning to retire). He completely forgot to trim around my right ear, or to layer the right side! I didn’t notice until I got home. My problem is he is a friend; we chat about theatre productions we have seen or been involved with, and then I see him at shows. He might notice I have a new person! I haven’t decided what to do; it will be a few more weeks before I need someone, so I have time to decide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-28675872724280431132022-11-14T15:16:52.379-05:002022-11-14T15:16:52.379-05:00Did you have a moment of panic?

I happened on a unisex barber shop walking distance from the house. It really is an old fashioned barber shop and mostly older men are clients. The hair cutters are all women and as they explained on the phone they don't wash hair, color, or anything except cut and trim. Which is all I need. I quite coloring my hair years ago to see what happens with red hair left to its own devices. Anyway I brought a picture of a style and Cindy did a beautiful job, all for $13 plus tip.
