Injured Wrist + Dirty Hair = I Need a Local Stylist

My wrist is still very sore, and doing simple things like turning the doorknob is painful. During times like this, I wish I had a local stylist. I haven't had much luck finding a local stylist. The first stylist gave me a setback in one visit. The second stylist did a great job with my wash and blow dry/flat iron, but then decided that my hair was too much for her to handle.  

Now that my hair desperately needs to be washed, and I'm in no position to wield a blow dryer or flat iron, I'm considering going to a stylist. 

I met a male stylist last year who offered to style my hair for free, because he was so confident in his abilities. I have been reluctant to visit him, because after we spoke for a few minutes, we both realized that he was assuming that I wore a weave. 

The conversation went something like this:

Me: How many clients do you have with relaxed hair that is my length?

Him: OMG that's all your hair?

Me: (smile and nod)

Him: Good for you girl! 

His heart was certainly in the right place. LOL. The majority of his clients are Caucasian women with colored-treated hair at various lengths. So he equated relaxed hair with colored-treated hair. I don't agree with that assessment, but I get the point he was trying to make. Sigh. I miss living close to Reniece. 

So what do you think? Should I give him a try for a simple wash and blow dry/flat iron? It would really be nice to be able to treat myself to a salon visit between my relaxer appointments.
