i got my hair cut last night and i hafta say: given a choice between the phase 1 girl and the phase 2 girl at the paul mitchell school, pick phase 1 every time!
i typically go for the phase 1-er, but when i made my appointment yesterday i was loathing my hair extra strong so i decided to treat myself to the extra experience a phase 2 masta could offer. after all, i deserve it.
don't get me wrong - she did a good job. and after the cut ferments/sets up/cures/ripens in a few days, i might even post a picture as a gleaming endorsement of the pms (paul mitchell school - what were you thinking??) and i'll say that my hairs hard to handle. it's thick and curly in weird places. but this stylist in training did not inspire a lot of confidence.
you know that feeling when someone's combing your hair and they pull so hard that it feels like they're pulling your hair out of your scalp and you start to cry a little?? well i've never felt that and if you're styling my hair like your arms are made of wet noodles, then that's just a sign of weakness in my eyes. i bit my tongue to keep from yelling, "c'mon! put your back into it!"
anyway, all's well that ends well, but here's my theory: the phase 1 students are bright-eyed and eager. they follow technique to a 't' and know they have a lot to learn. to me, the phase 2 kiddos seem to have a certain sense of entitlement, think they're masters and take a certain amount of artistic liberty with your coif. which i'm not ok with, unless i'm paying you $200, you ask "sparking or still?" when i want water and your salon staff looks like an army of calvin klein models, capiche?

oh my I totally know what you are taking about. I have said it once and I will say it again "you can either do hair or you can't".
How about when they don't completely dry your hair and then they pull out the flat iron and I'm all hold up a sec little lady. Or how about they charge 20 DOLLARS!
i am becoming even more obsessed with blogging and will now attempt to add to the dialog by replying to comments...yes, joellen. yes! i HATE it that they can't dry it all the way! or when they don't round brush at ALL. just brush your hair against your head while holding the dryer in one place. i could do better. it annoys me.
WHOA 20 DOLLAHS!
i noticed your hair last night, and it looked great! so don't even worry about it.
but i second the not drying your hair all the way comment - so obnoxious!

i hate when people are pansies. it's like they think they are going to break your hair or something. it's just as bad as when you get a masseuse (massage person) that is like tickling your back.
the hair is great! love it.
