For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Muscle does weigh more than fat, but as Clanad points out your burn fat and increase muscle. However, I have always found it a more encouraging way to lose weight by measuring your waist/ bust/ thighs etc, insteadof weighing scales as it can disconcerting to know you may have only lost 1lb that week, yet can fit into a size smaller clothes!
At the end of the day, any exercise is better than no exercise and if you feel good about yourself then ignore what other people say and tell your hairdresser to stick to cutting hair! ;-)
As the others have said, I think your hairdresser has got her wires crossed. What she's heard is that Muscle weighs more than fat, and therefore if you're dieting and exercising the scales may not go down as quickly if you're building muscle.
The answer to this is certainly not to stop exercising. As Natalie has said, the answer is to not be a slave to the scales, which (because of the above) are not always a true reflection of how much weight you've lost.
You were absolutely doing the right thing to start with and i'd politely suggest that your hairdresser sticks to cutting hair!!!!
