Wow .. that's great ... and I'm glad you didn't have to
stand naked on your front lawn ....

Now ... If you were a young Kim Bassinger ... (I just watched
the uncut version of 9 1/2 weeks .... I'd say ... pleeeeeeese ...
dump the clothes ...

But just as you said, and I'm sure many of us have
had this experience ...

Stylists only have you in that chair for a few hours .... they
don't know what suits you best .... the conditions you will be in ..
your lifestyle ...

I always find I like my hair style much better a day AFTER LEAVING
THE STYLIST .... after I fiddle with it ....
(let her do the washing, scraping and dying ... my time is more
valuable and I just want hair .. not a full time hobby maintaining it)

It's great to hear stories like yours .... Because, I would guess...
many of us have had the same thoughts in our head at one time
or another ... especially those who were under contract to the
hair clubs.

I think that is why on most film sets .. actors like Nicholas
Cage (eg. Bangkok Dangerous) is wearing what looks like a dyed,
well worn, Fuller Brush mop head throughout the movie ...
