Hair on holiday?

[jana]

Have any of you ever gotten your hair done while on holiday in Fla?
Did you get it styled for a special occasion or cut and how did you choose a salon if so?

........ I haven't Jana as I like going to "my own" hairdresser - I like to stick with the tried and tested! I have tried other hairdressers out and if I'm pleased with the outcome I switch to them and they become "my hairdresser" but I've stuck with the same hairdresser for a few years now.

I couldn't possibly bring myself to try out a 'new' hairdresser on holiday! :eek:

I have to make sure I get it cut just before I go away, so that I know it'll be how I want it for the next few weeks and I won't have to think about it again until I get home.

Hi Jana
I'm with Hilary on this one. Couldn't possibly trust a new hairdresser! I'm so fussy about my hair, its my one weakness and I'd hate it if I got it done and it turned out bad!!:rolleyes: I always have it cut etc just before I go away.:cool:

My uk hairdresser trained one of many one of which went to orlando and set up. So yes I've had my hair done by him

[jana]

Those of you that wouldn't get it cut while on holiday what about a special occassion? like a wedding, anniversary celebration night out or just a special night out. Would you go to some one in Fla for that?

I love going to the hairdressers, but changing hairdresser is really nerve-wracking. I changed to a new one about 6 months ago having gone to the same one for about 8 years. For the first few appointments I really felt as though I didn't belong. Also, they did in-depth consultations before touching my hair, which is good in itself, but they spoke to me as though I'd never been to a hairdresser before! Everything's fine now that they've all got to know me, I feel much more comfortable.

Having said all that, I think it would be quite fun to have my hair done on holiday, although I'm not sure that I would want to waste valuable vacation time in the hairdressers. I would definitely consider having it done for a special event. Hilary's Silver Wedding Anniversary party, for example! Is the joke wearing a bit thin now, Hil? I wonder how much longer I can milk it?

[Hilary]

Jana, I still wouldn't use an unfamiliar hairdresser, but that's because once my hair is cut it doesn't need any special attention (okay, make that "doesn't need any attention at all" - anyone who has met me can verify that!) other than a bit of wax. However, if it was in need of styling, then I guess it would be fun to try somewhere new - a bit like getting the cotton braids put in on vacation.

Deb, I already have you down to help with the seating plans and table decorations, so don't try pretending you were only joking ;).
Do you think I should grow my hair for the anniversary?

I get mine cut before I go away, then I'm lucky if it get's a brush while I'm out there- I don't do glamourous on holiday!

However, I have had my hair done (not cut) away from home a few times, most recently for my brother's wedding, but also for dinner dances at conferences I've been too - results have been mixed - at my brothers wedding I had huge hair when I came out of the salon - not me at all, but since I was wearing a big hat, I didn't worry too much, just shoved the hat over it and wondered why I'd bothered!

......... I think I'd still want a recommendation and a discussion with the stylist even for a special occasion.

I was very brave and had highlights done the last time we were out. Took alot longer than at home but a fraction of the price - $70 to £110, and I am very pleased with the result. Will certainly go back again.

Used the hairdresser at the Orange Lakes Shopping Plaza - next to the Publix.

......... welcome to DIS UK Fee :)

Ooo Jana I would definately like to have a blow-dry. Wouldn't have it cut - however if colouring was cheaper then here in the UK I'd probably go for it. But I think it would be nice to have my hair blow dried jsut before say going to California Grill - Hmmmm I think I might enquire at Y&B about this service.

The only other problem is when do we all get the time to have our hair done on holiday it might deviate fromour regimented (;) ) schedules LOL! I think I'd make the time.

So are you gonna check it out whilst you're out there Jana ?

[jana]

Yes I will be checking out some salon's while I'm down there. I won't be getting it cut as I do that myself. I'm extremely picky about my hair. There are only 2 people I trust to cut it, myself and one of my stylists and I watch her VERY closely the whole time she does it.

Just do what I am going to do, get it all shaved off before I go. (Should I mention that I am male.:D )

[vernon]

I ALWAYS get my hair cut when I go away, but it does help to be dating someone who owns part of a hair salon LOL :) .

I do try to get DD Sam to time her high lights for when we meet up with Jana as it is REALLY expensive to get done locally.
