Went to my wife's hairdresser (at her suggestion)

[Joanie CD]

I've been growing my hair out to be more feminine, because I am not interested in the trouble or expense of wigs. I've been going to a haircutter/hairdresser for a while, and have even gone dressed, but a couple of weeks ago my wife suggested I use *her* hairdresser. When she went to get her hair cut and explained my situation to (we'll call her) Suzy, telling her I needed a cut that could be femmed up, but wouldn't look too girly in man mode.

So my wife made the appointment, and suggested I go dressed and that we go out for drinks after the appointment, since it was for 6 PM.

It couldn't not have gone better! [Suzy] was super nice, the salon is very accepting of everyone (a male stylist has a huge mohawk). She trimmed my hair, added some curl mousse, and gave me a ton of advice on what to do to glam it up, or man it down :-). She is definitely better than my old stylist.

Then we went out for a drink at a craft cocktail bar and walked around the downtown area. It was a very good day, and as always, I am hugely grateful to my wonderful wife.

I wore my new favorite skirt with little pink and blue polka dots and a dark blue top, black sandals, and gold jewelry, with a minimal amount of makeup (all that I can manage :-) ).

Joan, That is wonderful. I'm so glad you have a supportive spouse.

Very good. I had a experience like this. My wife suggested I use her stylist.

Ok, I go and we chat. Before you know it we are dyeing my hair light brown with blonde highlights. I kept it for about 2 years, nice and long too.

It got expensive to spend $100 every 3 months to get the roots done. Being a girl is not for the faint of heart.

Go Glam or Go Home.

The "trouble and expense of wigs", Joan? What u spent on one hairdresser appointment I could buy 2 or 3 nice wigs that will last the rest of my life!:heehee:

I keep them in plastic bags so they don't get messed up. They take all of 3 minutes to put on and brush!:)|

I wash my hair 4 times a week. I'll wash my favorite wig twice a year at most!:eek:

You have a great wife

[Connie D50]

Sounds like a wonderful night. So happy for you and your wife to share your time together.

While it would be nice to grow my natural hair our and not have to wear a wig, I continue wearing a wig as "Krisi" because it helps to conceal my real identity when out in public. Homer has short grey hair, Krisi has shoulder length blonde hair and bangs.

If I (or my wife) didn't care or I was living as a woman, I would grow my hair out and color it. But, I have to live with reality so a wig it is. Wigs are not that much trouble or expense.

I had my hair done by a professional hairdresser for the first time. Never felt so feminine!

[Oiltasters]

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience with us ❣️

Good for you Joan and to have your wife suggest her hairdresser is wonderful.

[Shannon Lace]

Happy for you Joan. Having your hair done is so relaxing and exciting at the same time.

[CDMargret]

Oh just how wonderful to have your own hair. That's so super cool and a nice adventure afterwards. Bonus.

[Staci]

Wow! I don’t think I could get myself to do that. I would love to but you have to be pretty out there to do that. I admire your confidence.

[Joanie CD]

Finally managed to get a picture to illustrate my story. I'm loving my longer hair, and I swear I get "ma'am"ed more often.

Congratulations Joan . Great pic and good to have supportive wife. Also good to have your own hair.

[Amy Lynn3]

Joan: It appears to me like your wife loves you very much. She went to all the trouble to take/go with you to her hairdresser. To top it off, both of you went out for drinks and window shopping. Great to hear your story.
