Damn those Silver Lake hairstylists. One of them screwed up my hair to the point where it look like a blind squirrel had taken a hacksaw to it. Never again.

Did I miss the 3rd season premiere of "Blow Out"? If so -- ARGHHH!!!!

I have always been rather particular about hairstylists. I hate moving because that means I have to go through the whole process again. I now once more have a fabulous stylist who knows exactly what I like and don't like. It's a shame that in order to get that, you have to pay a small fortune -- thus my current hairstyle.

i just like that jonathan cried 3 times in the very first episode of the season. that is a clear sign that this season will be just as good as the previous 2.

i missed most of the premiere because i was out at trivia, but i saw some of it before i crashed last night. great one-liners, as always. i thought it was interesting that the cast (as evidenced by the credits) seems to have shrunken significantly, but probably that's just because it's less about the salons now. my prediction, though, is that by season five, jonathan will jut be crying non-stop and will take his therapist with him everywhere he goes.

in my very limited experience the only salon which rocks more than supercuts is lessismore. but you have to go to vienna for the latter. oh, and jonathan forever.

btw: in what freakin way was i like big j?

OK. It is now apparent to me that I missed the premiere. Thank goodness Bravo likes to show episodes ad nauseum so I will just have to catch the rerun before next week's episode.

I was going to ask if the Austrian might nip over to Paris for a little booty call, but now that I see he reads your blog, I'd better not ask that. ;)

You've totally summed up LA hair -- all the name dropping. I met Bette Midler's hair dresser once (friend of a friend) -- he also did Sarah Jessica for the Oscar's one year (but that was pre-SATC, so not quite such a big deal).

In your cheekbones and endearing cockiness, Herr Austrian!

Anne & Penny -- You are right, the crying bodes well for a good season and for many more tears! hehe, I like to picture him taking his therapist around. Did you notice this therapist is more like an ego-stroker than a therapist -- "ooh, poor baby, things are so hard for you..."

Gloria -- Well, your hair has recovered nicely.

Also, Dagny, I was going to remind you of Bravo's obnoxious yet comforting replay strategy, but I see you know.

CTK--SJP! Bette Midler! SATC! Beaches! Lucky friend. Tho both of their locks would be trouble to manage, I would think.

there is nothing as good as a good haircut. and nothing as horrifically bad and gut wrenching as a bad haircut. :)

Isn't there a picture of The Austrian somewhere on this site? I can't find it. (Tho I enjoyed perusing the Redding holiday pictures. How did I miss those?) I need to do the Jonathan/Austrian comparison.

Oh, I know what you mean... I ran around NYC getting bad haircuts (including one place that had a nearly criminal bait-and-switch policy with their prices... "Did I say $50? Well, you should have known it was $150."). Then I went to this amazing place that was supposed to be a one-time treat, because it cost, oh, more than my car payments. But when the perfect hairhut has happened to you it's hard to go back... I went once more, and then I spent 5 haircuts on my sick kitty and moved to a place where $300 haircut would probably involve highlights made with the organic extract of fair-trade saffron harvested by Tibetan monks and shipped here using only solar power.

A good hairstylist is so hard to find...I live in fear that my girl will move away and I'll have to find a new one.

I worked at Great Clips when I was in high school, and I got free haircuts, and they were terrible. and I had long, straight hair. I've been afraid of Great Clips/Supercuts ever since. Although I do think that this was a particularly BAD Great Clips.

Jen, I posted this link on the comments on Laurie's site but I thought that you might be interested in it as well.
