Marianne: The Things We Do For Hair

I'm moving on to Sally today.  Kelly has done her last hair job.  She retired last week, and Sally has taken on several of Kelly's clients, including me.  Over my lifetime, I've had very few hairdressers, mainly Joyce and Kelly AND my mother.  My mother did my hair when I was a little girl.  And, as I think back on it, the preparation period resulting from Mother's at-home styling salon looked slightly similar to what Kelly has been doing for the past year and Joyce before her. Kelly taught Joyce how to pull those bunches of hair,  load 'em on paper strips, dab 'em with sauce from the back room and tack 'em to my head. Once completed, the head looked somewhat like a series of white collapsed dominos until a timer went off/Marianne Love, Slight Detour. More here.

Question: Do you stay with one barber/stylist? Or do you bounce around looking for the best bargain?
