While we Irish gals are largely yet to develop the relationship with our facialists that we've long forged with our hairdressers, I'd say it's on the way: when Ellen Kavanagh left Brazilia to open her own salon, we kept getting requests from girls frantic to know where she'd gone. Quite simply, no one did a wax like her, and her clients were bereft. But sure, they're grand and happy now, what with Waxperts being such a stellar success. Phew!
But what do you do if your favoured hair stylist or colourist leaves the salon you've always gone to? You follow them, that's what. I've met women who'll gladly cross the country to go back to their hometown because Philomena at Curl Up And Dye is the only person they trust, and it's not uncommon for people to trek to an unfamiliar part of the city when the person who teases their tresses changes location.
I even came across one English gal who books flights home specifically so she can get her hair seen to by her long-term hairdresser. Now, that's dedication to the cause, eh?

What about you? Would you - in a Last of the Mohicans manner - follow your hairdresser if they left your local salon? And do you have any tales of anyone who's done just that? Dish all in the comments!
