Have you ever gone to the hairdresser for a trim or a new hairdo with hope that that you’ll be walking out looking like a hot mama or at least with a hairstyle you like? But instead walked out like this?

I have, 3 years ago.  I don’t know how I was able to hold back the tears as I looked in the mirror at the final result. Thick dark healthy  hair does not and never will suit a mullet, a razor and short sides. It was 12 long months before I began to feel feminine again. Daily rituals of bobby pins, a tiny weird ponytail and lots of coffee before i could leave the house. I'm sure people must have thought i was trying to look cool.

Now when I go to the hairdresser I take a list of what I don’t want as well as what I do want (as this is one experience I'd rather not repeat).  Somehow many words still manage to get lost in translation or there must be a new definition of 1 inch! 

Suzie Q you’re amazing but I’m not stumblin in anywhere with a mullet ever again!

Does the appearance of you hair affect your self image?

The first point especially!

“I think that the most important thing a woman can have- next to talent, of course- is her hairdresser.” -Joan Crawford

It's 40 years of varied hair experiences, cuts, colours, perms (eek!)  and many other do’s both good and bad that have brought me here. If it's going to take me another 40 years to find someone who can cut my hair well and leave me feeling like a goddess when I walk out then I'm up for the challenge! 
People often say 'it's just hair, it will grow back'. Yes it is just hair and it does grow back, but that takes many months and we are always going to need another haircut at some stage.
This blog will provide a platform where we can contribute our experiences, reviews and stories. 
We will be one step closer to that beautiful hairstyle that we all dream of when we walk in to the salon with hope in our hearts.
So who's doing your do?
