I just found out my hair stylist/colorist is moving from DC to LA. I am a wreck.

Some of you may be able to walk into any old barber shop and be happy with the standard military high-n-tight, but:

• I am a woman, and
• I change my hair color — from pink to purple and other assorted colors — on a regular basis. (They call my type ‘creative color’ I believe.)

The last time I lost my hair stylist, it took me about 18 months to find someone who would work for me, someone who didn’t want to make me look like Dorothy Hamill.

I’m sure some of you ladies out there can sympathize with me, perhaps even some of you stylish men. For me, my hair stylist is a very important and trusted creative partner. This one I followed across town, but I can’t move to California. The previous one I lost in a divorce. (We tried to keep things going after my friend, her ex, moved out, but it was just too awkward.)

Now I must embark on this search again, what a drag! Know a great stylist in DC who is good at creative color? Let me know, ASAP, (in the comments) my hair grows fast!

You may have been wondering where the hell I’ve been lately. I do apologize. It’s been rude of me to go off and leave you like this. But I’ve been working rather hard on remodeling this place, since I put this blog together rather hurriedly and it doesn’t really reflect me in the way I’d like it to.

Meanwhile, I’ve been scoping out some really great resources that I’d love to share with you.

• Grain Edit
• Kuler – for color
• Smashing Magazine – Web Trends

I also realized that, probably as a symptom of being a Gemini, when I talk to myself, I call myself we. Not like the royal we, but like there are more than one of me to talk to. It makes me feel less alone, but I can’t believe I only now noticed this. Interesting. Anyone else do this? Please?

Anyway, if you’re looking for me, you can find me on Twitter, where I’d love to have your company. While I’m talking to myself and shifting website designs about, I do manage to spout out a few sentences now and then. But no worries. By the time I get to my/our birthday in June, we’ll have all my pontifications in one spot. Thanks for your patience while we’re under construction.
