Calling anyone who lives in Paris, do you know a good hairdresser? In America, I really liked the dry cutting technique, lots of texturizing and razor cutting.I have baby fine hair, but a lot of it, so it kind of collapses on itself and looks like a big blob if not cut and texturized correctly into layers. Also, if thinned too much and too near the ends, it becomes all flippy, wispy, and uncontrolable.
Here, they think I am absolutely crazy for wanting my hair cut dry! They won't do it! And they don't know how to texturize. So far in Paris, when I tell them it is too heavy, they cut the layers super short. It took me about a year to grow out a bad haircut with super short layers, and now I am afraid of going back without a reference from someone.Or, they texturize the ends only, which just gives me fly away hair.
Another weird thing is they make you wash your hair immediately - before talking to the sylist! I think that is totally wrong, because it is best to look at your dry, styled hair together with the stylist in order to determine what you like and what you want to change. It is easier to SHOW what you don't like, than to TELL what you don't like. Especially in a foreign language.
Second option - I am thinking of buying texturizing shears and doing that at home myself. Has anyone ever done that? They have some instructional videos on ebay of EXACTLY what I want done (there is a great video for some scissors called the Hikari 741 trendy) but obviously I don't want to spend too much on something I don't know if I know how to use and also I don't know if they will give me the desired effect doing it at home. If anyone has done this at home, could you give me some advice - if it was successful for you or not, techniques used, and about what shears to buy.
Otherwise, thinking desperately of hopping on a plane to Denver Colorado to see Matthew, my best stylist ever!! But 1,200 euros for a haircut might be a little on the expensive side But sometimes, I think it would be worth it!!! |

This may not help that much but when I lived in France, there was a really good chain called Camille Albane. They always made a lovely job of my hair, although the salon I visited wasn't actually in Paris itself. |
