phoenix I know what your going through, I have used the same hairdresser for over 26 yrs now, she had just come out of her apprenticeship when I started visiting the salon.
She now has had her own salon for about 16 yrs, but together we have been through all styles imaginable, and consider her to be a good friend.
Mostly I am happy with my cut but occasionally I come away and wonder if she has remembered who's hair she is cutting or whose hair she is cutting in her minds eye. But give her her due when this has happened she has been going through a lot of personal stress at the time and I have lived with the car crash she has left me with, usually time sorts it out but its painful until it grows again, and I just hope I have not got to go anywhere that's going to makes me feel a right clip.
On my next visit I always say I wasn't too sure of my last cut and would then mention the areas that I didn't like.
