I have been going to my hairdresser for over three years and generally been very happy with her. I have highlights and a cut once a month and have started going to her for shellac nails too. She runs her business from home and although is very professional and treats me like a client, we have in the past done the odd thing as friends although not recently.
She has recently had a baby and just before she went on maternity leave she gave me the phone number of another mobile hairdresser who she uses herself and recommended her. She told me when she planned on coming back to work, and I told her that I will definitely be coming back to her when she does.
So I started using the other mobile hairdresser.. And I found that she did an amazing job of my hair...she cuts it beautifully and the colours were amazing...better than my original hairdresser. She was slightly cheaper too. I told her that I would be be returning to original hairdresser when she is back working, as I have been using her for so long and she understood.
So last month, I received a text from my original hairdresser to say she was slowly starting to take appointments from her list of loyal regulars and asked me if I wanted to book in with her. I booked an appointment and have had my hair done, but I can't help feeling a bit disappointed as somehow its not as good a job as "temporary" hairdresser. After doing my hair for so long, my original hairdresser knows exactly how I like my colours and cut. So it's not as if I have been chopping and changing my mind and she is not understanding me, IYSWIM. And I have no idea how I would put in words my unhappiness without offending her?
So what do I do? Stay loyal to original hairdresser or leave? It's so awkward as I normally book all my appointments well in advance as I have appointments once every three to four weeks and then she does my nails as well.

Would you "cheat" on your hairdresser?
