Hi from Chi-town, songlady! How was the trip?

Good suggestions from everybody. I go to a medium sized salon in a big city, and have changed stylists many times, sometimes because of my schedule or theirs, sometimes because I like the way somebody else cuts my hair. I always feel nervous about it, like I'm hurting the other one's feelings. But it's been so long now, that I can't remember whose feelings I might have hurt any more! So I just smile and say hi to everbody.

I figure-it's a business. You're paying your money, and should get the service you want. Since you felt uncomfortable telling Anne what you wanted sometimes, she may have felt uncomfortable, too. Bottom line, though, you should feel comfortable and happy with the service you're buying.
