150 Miles for a Haircut?

As many of you girls out there know, changing hair dresses can be scary and traumatic. You are afraid to try someone new and at the same time you are afraid of hurting your hairdresser's feelings when they suddenly realize you haven't been there in a while. I have had the same hair dresser for literally 20 years. She is the nicest person ever, but she is never willing to experiment much with my hair. She has this thing where she can cut inches off the bottom, but styling it anyway different just isn't her thing.

Well anyway, while I was on vacation in Maine last week (yes, I was up there during every rainy day possible), I decided to break my boredom one day by getting a haircut. A woman a few cabins over wanted us to go meet her friends niece (or something like that) and she just happened to be a hair dresser up town. I thought this would be a great opportunity to try something new. She is young and probably up her modern hairstyles...

So long story short, I went there, she gasped at how thick my hair was and asked me if I have ever had my hair thinned. I said no, but I told her she could do whatever she wanted. So she thinned and layered my hair and I love it.

There was so much of my hair on the ground, that my sister and cousin (also there with me) were gasping every time she thinned it some more. I was getting a little nervous myself, especially when she told me that I would continue to have hair fall out for the next day or two and when my hair clogged their vacuum thingy..lol

But I love it! And now, I can't drive 150 miles for a haircut every time I need one, so I have to find someone new. I have been given a few suggestions, and I obviously don't need a haircut soon, but if anyone has a hip, young hairdresser that you think could keep up my awesome do...let me know! haha
