Being an empath, I follow my intuition and what is best for me through my feelings.
Yesterday, I decided to finally get that haircut I’ve been putting off due to lack of time and a touch of laziness. After a few errands and a trip to Safeway, I stopped off Great Cuts with a coupon in hand for a discount haircut.
Entering the place, I noticed a crowded waiting room with kids jumping up and down off the chairs. The energy felt downright uncomfortable. But it was the woman at the front desk that turned me off. She seemed bored, tired, and someone who really didn’t care if I got a haircut or not. Was she the one who was going to cut my hair?! With a long wait, I reluctantly made an appt. to come back at 2pm for a haircut.
Driving around, wasting time until my appointment, I felt a huge tug NOT to go back. I’m a little embarassed to say that I didn’t. The more I thought about going in there the worse I felt. Instead I drove around and remembered that my one friend mentioned a hairdresser who was really good at her trade. Being pulled, I entered her shop two minutes away and she was delightful! She was actually excited about cutting my hair and we made an appointment for the next day.
Marianna, this great new hairdresser, cut my hair today. It looks wonderful. We talked while she cut and she told me I had great hair. (Got to love a compliment). She gave me tips on what conditioners would be great for my hair. There was no one else in the shop as she cuts one person’s hair at a time. It cost maybe three times the discount haircut, but you know what? With all that great treatment, I walked out feeling like a million bucks. I even treated myself to lunch afterwards.
I guess this is a story about several things. One, follow your gut and your energy. If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t for you. Two, Marianna loved cutting my hair and told me so. That wonderful energy went into my hair, probably. Loving what she does radiated out and was a great gift to me, and because of that, she did a great job. The first hairdresser I almost went to didn’t honor what she did and I guarantee she wouldn’t have honored me either, like Marianna had.
And third, treat yourself, dammit! Go just a little further with what you spend on yourself and you will be rewarded by showing the world and the Universe you matter. That’s one of those keys to abundance.
Go get a great haircut.
ps. I actually remember about six months ago going into that hair salon (the earlier one) to get a quick bangs cut. The young woman cutting my hair went on and on how my hair was so dry and with my “kind” of hair I shouldn’t even have bangs. Reminds me of the bad post office experience. š

I am understanding more and more all the time how vital it is to listen to our gut…now if it doesn’t feel right, if the energy from people around me is off, etc I back off right then and there! Bet if you had ignored those inner bells and whistles going off, your haircut would have been a disaster and you’d have been bummed out for a considerable period of time. It’s evident that first hairdresser is in the wrong career, and likely has a bunch of stuff going on. She should not be allowed to have scissors in her hand:) Such a comparison to the person who did cut your hair! She loves what she does and it shows. Fortunately I have a similar stylist here, someone who was born to cut hair. It does make a difference when that bit of extra money is spent to get a haircut by someone who cares about their job, and makes sure the client is happy!

Oh my, can you imagine the haircut? I saw one little girl walk away and it looked relatively unforgettable. I agree with you, Carol. She’s got stuff going on.
