confession
I think I have difficult hair (does anyone out there not think that)?
Anyway, whenever I have moved or am looking for a new hairdresser, I always try to spot someone I think has similar hair and I ask them where they get it cut. In Columbus, OH, when I moved back about 10 years ago, the person whose hair I most admired said they had been going for years to a barber shop on the west side, in a not so nice neighborhood. I declined. Had been shopping for hairdressers ever since. Would find an occasional good one, but either they were too expensive or they only cut it right the first time.
So - here in TV I have gone twice for a haircut - met both women whose hair I liked while playing golf. First one said to try someone at Dimensions at Colony Plaza (also prefer golf cart accessible and that is fairly close to me). So I tried it and it was ok - but the guy was a great salesman and I bought the expensive shampoo and conditioner which I NEVER buy. He was good (at selling, just ok at cutting).
4 weeks ago, saw someone else with a good cut - she said she used to go to Dimensions, and it was ok, but is now going to Cal's Barber Shop in Colony Plaza, for less than half the price. So I did - got Amanda (there are both men and women barbers), did a great job on my hair. $14! No shampoo, just sprayed some water, and no fancy goop or styling. Didn't appreciate it fully until I washed it the next morning and blew it dry myself. Best cut I've had in years. So - if you don't need color, I would give Cal's a try. They even had a copy of "O" magazine to ready while waiting, if you don't go for Sports Illustrated.
I paid $40 for my last shampoo/haircut/blowdry in Columbus and this is a BETTER cut.
