Me too! I liked my previous stylist and had been with her for years, but when she was out on maternity leave, I discovered that I liked another gal in the shop even better for my hair, plus she was a little quicker (was never behind when I came in either), which helped a lot since I get my hair cut on my lunch hour. Fortunately, it worked out well as my previous stylist cut her hours way back post-baby, so it was much more convenient for me to go to stylist #2. At some point I did see my previous stylist (she came in to the shop while I was getting my hair cut), and we hugged. I said "I hope you don't mind that I switched to [stylist #2]; she just fit my schedule better." She was fine with it! Whew...big relief!

Good luck, and I hope your situation works out as well.
