She used to give great hair cuts, but lately about 50 percent of the time, I feel like she's not even paying attention, and the haircuts just suck. She's not even that nice to me. She is a 30 minute drive away.
So why do I feel so guilty? |

| It's been a year for me and I still hope I don't run into mine on the street (the salon is blocks from my office). I don't understand my own guilt either. |

| It's because we are women and we take this personally. Think of it as business - it's nothing personal. You're not getting what you need so it's time to move on. Say goodbye to the guilt along with your stylist. |

| As a manager of a salon I would wish that any client that was un- happy would call and let us know. |

| Take the money you were paying here for 50% shitty service and lackluster haircuts and burn it. Just once. Your guilt will quickly disappear. |

| I always end up moving on after a couple of years, for the same reason you're experiencing - after awhile, they just don't seem to pay much attention to what they are doing and I start getting sucky cuts. |

| I just want to divorce mine. He gives great cuts, but he has become too comfortable with me and complains about everything in his life. So unrelaxing. I am actually maybe the last woman on earth who doesn't want to have a relationship with her stylist. Just do a good job and let me disengage for 2 hours. I wish they wouldn't even talk. I am paying 200 bucks. I should not have to dread hearing about how my stylist's life sucks. |

OP here. Maybe that is part of my guilt. Just not coming back. But how do you call someone just to tell them "hey, your haircuts suck" She is the owner of the salon. And I think that is the problem. She leaves me at the sink for 10 minutes to take a phonecall. She leaves in the middle of the haircut and is constantly gets distracted while cutting my hair (I've actually had to say "please don't cut while you are looking away"). I think she forgets what she is doing sometimes. Which is a shame, because in her good days, she gave excellenet hair cuts. |

I thought this was just me. In turn, I don't want to have to talk about my own life either. I would like to sit in the salon for 45-60 minutes not having to answer anyone's questions, reading a dumb magazine, having my own uninterrupted thoughts. |

| No, I'm totally with you. I want the person cutting my hair to focus on cutting my hair, not chit-chatting. |

I have been going to the same guy for 9 years - he's awesome (I have thick-could-be-unruly-or-just-look-like-a-mushroom-in-DC-humidity hair) with cut and color and he is not chatty. We occasionally talk, a little, and I used to feel weird about this, but I actually enjoy it. I like watching him work, the traffic in Georgetown, the other stylists etc. If you are looking for an excellent cut with no inane chatter, I am happy to recommend. |

PP chronic cheater here - One of my stylists (gay male - Sexual preferance is important in this case.) left a message on my machine, begging me to return for numerous reasons. Because the stylist never mentioned anything about hair, my then fiance' thought it was a former flame who wanted me back. I sure can pick them! |
