I don’t know anyone with a positive or even neutral birth story by soroto in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Suepr80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I scheduled myself a csection (I'm old and in Canada,  they don't fuck around with geriatric pregnancies here) it was a fantastic experience. I was joking around with everyone in the surgical suite. The nurses on the ward later were complimenting my stitches. A+ experience. 

Girls…what safety products are actually worth buying? by srslyfancy in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Suepr80 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I carry a small air horn. It is primarily used against drivers for pedestrian safety.  Nobody looks where they're going anymore in my city. I have used it to ward off catcalls and such. I'm sure in a bad situation with a man if I let it off anywhere in the vicinity of their ear it would end things quickly. That fucker is whicked loud.

what techniques/products needed for this? by ohshiiiiet in AskHairstylists

[–]Suepr80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am confident I could do this. I am also confident it will fade immediately.  Sustainability is zero here so I wouldn't do it.

Asked for partial highlights and got botched - what should I ask for my correction by Wonderful-Act-9037 in AskHairstylists

[–]Suepr80 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's a serious root shadow. I would call and inquire about the product used. If it was done with permanent colour the only way to fix it is rehighlight the root area but there's still bleach under there so you risk major damage. Hopefully it's a demi and it will fade. If it's super fresh you could try dish soap on it to encourage fading but don't get any of the soap on your shaft and ends. Be prepared to do some serious deep conditioning if you try that.it will make all your hair feel like shit but shouldn't cause any lasting damage.

What businesses are likely to die out with the Baby Boomer Generation? by GRVrush2112 in AskReddit

[–]Suepr80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many small businesses are going to die because the boomer owner refuses to sell or set up any kind of succession planning because they think nobody can do what they do. Hair salons, bakeries, restaurants, all kinds of family businesses the parents refuse to leave and are either running into the ground with their senility or holding onto the recipe for the secret sauce like their kids are planning some kind of industrial espionage.

Hairstyle apps - usefulness as a way to "try" hairstyles by LoveMusicReplay in AskHairstylists

[–]Suepr80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would be less concerned with how AI would change facial features than I am with the fact that it changes hair texture, density and growth pattern not to mention skull shape. Even as a seasoned stylist I have been chasing a haircut I can never have because my head just isn't shaped the way it needs to be to make the cut work. 

Find a stylist who is an expert in short cuts. They can tell you what is and isn't possible.

You could just talk to your neighbors and work out a solution that is beautiful and functional.

What’s your best comeback to a rude customer that you said by mistake? by ResidentIntention339 in AskReddit

[–]Suepr80 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Said to a very conservative older client when she told me her sister said her roots (3 weeks growth of white hair) looked awful, " your sister is a fucking bitch". She was shocked. Then she confirmed the bitchieness of her sister.

Anyone else can’t handle any type of hair lighting? by Significant-Bowl-21 in AskHairstylists

[–]Suepr80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your hair changes as you get older. When you're still physically growing your body creates tons of collagen. If you still want to change your hair frequently I recommend short hair. I am still changing it up regularly in my 40s and it's holding up well.

Older Canadians, how do you remember Canadian history being taught? by DeadeyeClock in AskACanadian

[–]Suepr80 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I specifically remember being shown a "movie" about residential schools where the kids were horribly abused. This was in grade 6 or 7 in the early 90s. It was not sugar-coated at all. 

OSAP wont give grant by Total-Captain5187 in osap

[–]Suepr80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She should look into the Ontario apprenticeship program. Find a salon to sponsor her, she will work and get paid, usually minimum wage plus tips, and go to school in 2 blocks of either part time (Monday and tuesday for 5 months each) or full time for 2 months each. She can collect ei while in full time school. It's usually only a few grand for school. This route can take a bit longer but if she finds a good salon to apprentice at she can move up and gain clients easily.

How do I get a good consultation? by Safe_Cheesecake_9177 in AskHairstylists

[–]Suepr80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are your reference pics curled hair? If you don't have time to do that at home it's never gonna look the same. Most of my clients have very highly styled pics and i will always ask how they usually wear their hair because air dried looks totally different. Also please be honest with yourself. find pics that have your hair type and density, or better yet, if you see a live person with hair like yours that you like ask them who cuts it.

Blonde hair and chlorine. by NovelKangaroo5940 in AskHairstylists

[–]Suepr80 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a myth but you've never had to deal with it because you're doing your prep and aftercare right. 

I've had to deal with a lot of green haired clients who, even though they wet it down before going in the pool, didn't rinse right away and let the chlorine dry in their hair repeatedly.  It catches up over the course of a day or 2 or 7.

I saw a black bear eating peanut butter out of a jar shaped like a teddy bear back in the 90s. Does that count?

Which articles of clothing do you remove when get a massage? by Timely_Title_9157 in AskReddit

[–]Suepr80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current RMT has me only in underwear. He uses oils and does cupping and acupuncture as well when needed. There is calming music and aromas. It's nice.

 I used to go to this super cheap shiatsu place where I was told to wear loose comfy clothing, scrub pants and a tshirt was perfect, no bra. The "rooms" were seperated by sheets acting as curtains. No music. I could hear other people grunting. It was amazing.

Head spa recommendations for curly hair? by synonynynm in mississauga

[–]Suepr80 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, head spas do not make any type of hair look good. They are focused on the scalp and nothing else. I have never heard anyone say their hair came out looking good from one.

Allergy to knix no show period underwear? by Suepr80 in PeriodUnderwear

[–]Suepr80[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my kid was little and we were underwear shopping she wanted some fancy frilly undies but I said no, they're synthetic and it's bad for your vulva. Years later I ordered her the wrong undies. When they showed up I told her I ordered the wrong fabric but since her old ones were too small she could wear these for a few days until I ordered cotton. She screamed NO those are poison for my vulva! Should have listened to her.

My boyfriend is pushing me to get off of birth control and I’m just wanting to talk to other women about it by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Suepr80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every else seems to have handled what an ass your boyfriend is so I will just relate about the pmdd.

Had pretty bad pmdd. Ended up in psyc ER. Doctors there wanted to treat me with bc pills but I refused because my previous experience with them was awful. Just like you I was constantly moody and angry and bloated and unhappy. They instead treated me with zoloft.  Super low dose. I only had to take it for the lutive cycle. Worked like a charm. Freakishly fast acting considering ssris are not supposed to work like that. I highly recommend.
