Like Your Hair Stylist? Get Her Number

Do you like/love your hair stylist? Then here's a word of advice: Get her cell phone number now.

Why? Because you'll be thanking me when, one day, you call your salon to make an appointment with your favorite stylist, the one who knows how to cut your bangs just exactly right, and are told that she "no longer works here." And that, "No, we're sorry, we have no idea how you can reach her."

Have you seen
this stylist?

That's what happened to me two weeks ago. I don't know if Christie, my amazing stylist of the past two years, quit or was let go, but my salon is completely mum on how I can find her now. And I don't have Christie's personal contact information.  I've tried to find her via Google, Facebook, Yahoo and word of mouth, to no avail. I found a two-year-old MySpace profile, but it doesn't look like she's using it anymore.

If I can't find her, and she didn't have time to get her customers' contact information before she left the salon, that means I have to start the painful process of finding a new stylist once again. *sigh*

So, don't end up in my position! As soon as you finish reading this post, call your salon, talk to your stylist, and get a cell number or email address where she/he can be reached if they ever leave their current employer.

Speaking of leaving... I will be going out of town on business this week through the end of next week, so I will be taking a blog hiatus until December 18th.

Until then, many happy hair days during the holidays!

Love,
Bethany
