Finding a Good Hairdresser

Why is finding a good hairdresser like going on a quest for the holy grail?

Any black woman knows that finding a good, reliable, and decently priced hairdresser is damn hard to find. What I want to know is why the hell does this have to be the case? Why is it that if you find some place relatively cheap the only thing you can count on them to do is burn the sh!t out of your scalp?...and God forbid you were foolish enough to trust them with some scissors. Why is it that we go to Hispanic hairdressers to do our hair? Nothing against Hispanic hairdressers...but their hair is not like mine. My reason for writing this post is that I finally found a good hairdresser that A) Does a great job and B) is decently priced. For all of you still in search of the holy grail out there because you've relocated, you're more broke than before, or your tired of your hairdressers bs, I've got some tips for you:

Ask Around
The next person you see with some fly ass healthy hair, go ahead and ask them where they got it done. When asking always remember to ask the name of the place, town that it's in, phone number(any smart girl should have her hairdressers number saved in her phone), and most importantly THE NAME OF THE SPECIFIC HAIRDRESSER THAT DID HER HAIR
*Not all hairdressers are created equal
One hairdresser in that shop can be a hot ass mess while another can be your savior

...and that's really the best tip I can offer anyone.

Happy Hunting!

I've been in the company of more than a few women who will dig another woman's hairstyle, then ask where did she go to get it done.

So, yeah, there is much truth in your post.
