有圖爲證！換個髮型年輕十歲！

Every woman knows the feeling that their hairdresser isn’t listening to them. You ask for a trim only to watch inches being hacked off or insist you want to go a tiny bit lighter only to emerge platinum blonde.
有一種感受每個女人都懂得：理髮師不願意聽從自己的意見。你請對方稍稍修剪一下，就會眼睜睜看着幾寸長的頭髮被髮型師剪下來。或者你只是想要稍稍提亮髮色，最後卻有了一頭亮得刺眼的金髮。

But most hairdressers at least pay lip service to following their clients’ instructions. Not so Jamie Stevens, a multi-award-winning stylist who claims he doesn’t care what the women who come in to his salon say — he knows best.
不過大多數的髮型師至少還能在嘴上聽從顧客的意思。而這位名叫傑米·史蒂文斯的髮型師卻不是這樣，這位數次獲獎的造型師宣稱，對那些每日走進自己店裏的女士們所說的話他根本充耳不聞——他知道什麼樣的髮型是最好的。

‘I can look at a woman and immediately know what cut she needs. A hairdresser is an expert in their field. You wouldn’t tell a doctor or chef how to do their job. Why does everybody think they can direct a hairdresser?’
“我能夠在看到一位女士的一瞬間就瞭解到她適合什麼樣的發現。理髮師纔是這個領域的專家。你不會對一位醫生或大廚大發厥詞指導他們的工作。所以爲什麼大家都自以爲他們應該指導理髮師的工作呢？”

Brave words, but does he really know best?
此言甚有氣勢，可是他真的能說到做到嗎？

We asked three women in their 40s, 50s and 60s who have had the same style for decades to take the plunge and let Jamie loose on their hair.
我們請來三位年齡在40歲、50歲、60歲以上的女士，她們都是數十年來保持着同一種髮型。我們請她們做第一個吃螃蟹的人，讓傑米對她們的髮型自由發揮的進行改造。

My life has been a war against my thick, long frizz, with daily skirmishes and the occasional winning battle, when I spend £40 on a blow-dry to turn it sleek and groomed.
多年來我一直在跟自己又密又長的碎捲髮作鬥爭，每天都會上演小型遭遇戰，偶爾才能打場勝仗征服它們。只有偶爾去理髮店做一次洗吹護理，才能讓頭髮看起來順服光潔。

I agreed to 3 in off. First, he coloured my naturally dark locks. By the time he was wielding the scissors over my head I could see the colour he’d put on was rich and glossy. My hair looked fabulous. He chopped what seemed like acres off, but I do look ten years younger. I’m absolutely over the moon.
一開始我只同意他減掉3英寸。他將我自然的髮色染成了深色。當他操着剪刀在我頭上揮舞的時候，我發現自己的髮色既馥郁又光亮。我的髮型看起來美極了。被他減掉的頭髮堆積在地上似乎有幾畝地之多，可是我看起來確實像年輕了十歲。我高興地能飛上月球了！
