I don't find going to the hairdressers relaxing. I find it stressful.
If they're not scalping you they're dying your hair some random colour you didn't ask for or pushing products/treatments on you that you don't need or want.
The biggest scare your hair faces is of course transitioning from brown to blonde. Not to fear, I have done this transition many a time. Call me your hairy god mother.
I got told by a lot of hairdressers to "grow it out." Grow.it.out. Don't they realise how LONG that would take? Of course they do, they're hairdressers!
What self-hair-respecting person would wait years to just GROW it out?
