Bones for Stephanie: Brennan's Dad reappeared about half a season ago, via the resurrection of an old FBI case and evidence that Brennan's folks discovered in one of their bank robberies. There were threats to Brennan and her brother, and her dad reappeared to make it *very* clear that messing with his kids led to a very messy end.

It makes me wonder if people have sued them over a bad haircut.

Yeah, totally! I always tell them straightaway that I'm comfortable with the razor, I'm comfortable with a radical length change, I'm also really mellow and not going to kill them if it's an eighth of an inch shorter than I asked.

Anyway, I got my coffee (dark chocolate mocha with vienna chocolate mint flavoring) and I calmed down and...

I got a totally awesome haircut! She completely rocked. She listened to everything I said, carefully looked over the photos, discussed the cut with me before we started, checked for feedback along the way, made adjustments to the cut & style because of the texture and weight of my haird, and totally did an expert job. I so have a new stylist.

It looks more like the cut I want than what I actually described or asked for, so she really was paying attention. Plus it did help that she'd seen and liked the movie. Despite my concerns, she had so much fun with the cut and pooh-pooh'd the stylists who had previously given me crap over it.

OMG so happy!

eta: FNL coming up, sumi!

There should be some Bones/Supernatural crossover fic, where we find out that the real reason that Brennan's mom & dad were on the run is that they were Hunters.

I don't actually have any real ideas on what I want to do with my hair, so I suppose that doesn't help the stylist much, either.

Bah.

Yeah, I do like to give the stylist latitude, but they need to know me for a little bit first. I miss my good friend Ernst, who was the best with hair ever, and I could just walk in to his shop and say okay, and he'd do whatever he wanted with me and I would look fabulous.

How long is your hair now, shrift? Are you looking for a big change? What do you want in terms of ease of maintenance, styling options, etc.?

A salon opened up nearby when I was in college that offered free, shoot I can't remember the term they used, hairstyle analysis? That doesn't sound right. Basically, they'd look at you and tell you how your hair could best flatter your face and different things you might want to try, showing you in the mirror how doing tis would bring out that feature and so forth. It was awesome. Why I switched my asymmetrical cut of the time from long on the right to long on the left.

!!!!!!!!!

I pretty much tell my stylist to do whatever the hell she wants, cause I don't have a clue. Thankfully, she thinks this is fun, has good taste and does great work.

It's hitting my shoulder blades, and I want to take it back above my shoulders, at least.

I don't think I want anything dramatic right now. And I don't want a cut that would take more than five minutes to fuss with in the morning.

This is me- it took me a while to find someone who rose to the challenge, but now I have and he's mine all mine! (weirdly, I had a dream last night that I went back in for a haircut)
