I find the TV series whiny, but, well, ok, I went to
ivillage and took the quiz to see whether I’m primarily
Carrie, Charlotte, 
Miranda or Samantha. From what I hear, and I hear a lot now that “
Sex and the City,” the movie, has premiered, every female skews toward one of those four personality types. But let’s talk about you, the
professional hairdresser.
I’m only moderately nosy about which personality you are, although please do take the quiz and report back! I’m more concerned about whether you connect professionally to all four, because you’ll get each of them in your chair eventually. You may specialize in one type, and that’s fine if your book is filled. Perhaps you do a ton of strong professional types like attorney Miranda or publicist Samantha, or maybe you’re located near a cultural center and have art world clients like Charlotte. But can you handle the others when you encounter them?
As a
professional stylist, you should have tricks in your bag that you can pull out for different clients rather than being a one-trick pony who feels comfortable only with the most cutting-edge clients or middle-aged women or whatever it is you prefer. Again, I’m talking only to those of you without full books. If you’ve built a bulging business excluding all but your favorites, more power to you. Let’s go further into this and also talk about their hair. Which one am I? Whoops, ran out of room. I’ll dish next time!
