This post is in two parts, a vent about frustrations, and then some questions I have.

These are my questions:

• Is there some kind of guide that explains the lingo and maybe even theory behind women's hairstyles?
• Does anyone else get really intimidated by this whole thing?
• How do I make going to the stylist fun?
• Any tips on procuring good reference pictures and inspiration?

I hope this ramble was okay, I have 0 clue what I'm doing. Thank you for your time and attention.
