Firstly, can anyone recommend a good goth-friendly salon or stylist? And for those of you who are knowledgeable about this stuff, here's my specific situation. For years I both dyed my very dark brown hair black AND got a perm/body wave. Without said body wave my hair is stick straight and will not hold any kind of curl for more than 5 minutes. Additionally, my hair is very baby fine and not anywhere near as thick as I wish it were. But with the right cut and the body wave I always appeared to have a ton of wild gypsy hair. This was when I lived in California. For the past 11 years I lived in Montana where no one would dare to perm my hip length color treated hair, swearing up and down it would ruin it. So I gave up the perming and just stuck to coloring, primarily with non-peroxide colors you can pick up at the store. This resulted in me wearing my hair up most of the time because unless I could run a brush through it every 5 minutes it looked like hell. Finally, bowing to pressure, I decided to see what a stylist thought my hair could decently do without a perm. This resulted in an asymetrical bob that was chin length on one side and barely brushed my shoulder on the other. I managed not to weep as my long tresses hit the floor and I was indeed somewhat enamoured of my new look for a few weeks. But short hair is just not me. So, a year and a half ago, I moved to Oregon and a pair of scissors has not touched my hair since. It's now down past my shoulder blades and I really need to do something with it. I miss having curls. I want to go pretty long again. I need a stylist who understands me! Any recommendations????
