Hi Diane,Good question.What would make a hairstylist as close to perfect as can be?One who would initiate an appointment by sitting down with you andasking you what you want -- and then patiently listening. And wouldonly ask questions for clarification or for additional thoughts.One who would show you (by most accurate means possible) exactly theamount of hair to be removed from the ends -- before starting to cut.Measure seven times, cut once. They can always cut more but theycan't glue it back on (extensions don't count!).One who would treat your hair very gently and patiently, who wouldrealize that the client is a person with sensory perception in thescalp, and not a lifeless doll.One who could give accurate advice as to which specific haircareproducts would be likely to work with your individual hair type.Tough call, I know, but wouldn't it be nice?That's all I can think of at the moment. Hope this helps.Dave
