Yes, clearly, as Syria is a is a topic that frequently comes up on the "Hair Care" forum.
OP, my deal with my stylist (who I LOVE) right now is that when I started going to her, it was due to convenience. I selected the salon because it was on my route home from work, and had evening hours, so I could easily get my hair cut after work on nights I had late meetings, which was a problem, otherwise. This was in 2009. After a couple of years at that salon, she confided in me that the writing was on the wall that the salon with in trouble, and would possibly be closing or moving due to a dispute with the landlord their lease was with. She said she had feelers out for another job at another salon, and wanted to give me the head's up, if I wanted to follow, but no pressure. Well, the salon did indeed close its doors, and I followed her to her new salon. Which was about 10 miles in the opposite direction.
Flash forward a few years, and I moved to another part of the metro, got engaged, got married, and moved again to my husband's town, which is on the furthest west end of our bi-state metro, and she works in a suburb on the farthest east edge. At this point, I live about 30 miles from her salon. I still go to her, because we have a good relationship, she does a great job, and I really like her. But 30 miles is rough.
I have longer hair and my upkeep is relatively infrequent, compared to people with higher maintenance styles. If I required more upkeep, I'd probably have to switch stylists. When I first started going to her, I had blunt bangs that required trimming every couple of weeks. I would not have been able to swing that if we were as far apart as we are now. But at this point, it's still worth going 30 miles for a good haircut and/or occasional highlights a handful of times a year. She gets me in in a pinch as needed, she did my hair for my wedding, as well as my mom's, who was in from out of state's, hair, we're tight.
