I hate my hair cut. you chopped it off, so now it looks like a butch mushroom cut, a curly bowl, a fuzzy afro of mom hair. I hate it. at the time, surrounded by you telling me how cute it was while you carefully moused it, I didn’t say anything. I thought, I’m just being crazy. I need to get used to it, that’s all. it’s not that bad.
now I see differently. it’s hideously unflattering and all my friends are making fun of me for having this ugly bowl of mom hair on my head. I hate it, hate it hate it! adn I can’t go back and have you do anything becuase what are you going to do? you chopped it all off! it’s too short- THAT’S the problem and it’s ugly and manish. you can’t make it grow back. and I’m worried if I go back and ask for my money back you’ll yell (as I’ve seen youdo at other customers) and refuse. curses.

Ahahaha. Sorry but it’s quite funny. Alright, we’ve all been there, it happens at least once in our lives. It’s like chicken pox. But it might come back again. Just don’t go there no more. 🙂
I seem to remember back in the perm days….I looked like a poodle. That reminds me, I’ve got some photos to burn.
Needs a hat – fear not your hair will grow back and speaking as a fellow curly haired girl who actually likes my short hair – here are a few products that will see you through until the mess grows out (or maybe help it look fab as short as it is): Aveda Curl Enhancer, Aveda Confixor and Aveda Aveda Be Curly Curl Control. These are not cheap but I have used them for years (sparingly – they are awesome in small amounts) and they are worth every penny. May I also suggest Connie at certain salon right on Spring Garden? She keeps my hair fabulous and short. And I’ve never heard her yell at anyone. Good luck!
same thing happened to me last summer. this nelly old queen (the barber shop on agricola/stanley shall remain nameless) gave me what amounted to a mini mullet. at the time though, it was hard to tell, because even after i told him/her that i don’t use hair products, he STILL spritzed/sprayed & coiffed my mane into a moussy mess of hair gel and wax (i wasn’t quite sure what the hell was going on).feeling violated, i left the joint (yes, i paid, and don’t think i wasn’t pissed about it, but what’s a guy to do in that situation?)next day, after some encouragement from friends, i went back to the nelly barber to fix the mess he’d made. ummm, never do that ok… i should’ve learned my lesson the first time. just don’t go back, ever!”wwhell! I have been cutting hair for 40yrs, and i KNOW hairstyles… yadayadayada”to which i thought to myself, yeah right, maybe from 40yrs ago!i can’t believe i let him have another go at me (i’m so ashamed)thankfully, a friend of mine managed to repair the damage (with the few sprigs of hair i had left) after my second go-around with Ms Judy Garland lovin, with the sun-baked leathery skin, bitchy cuntrag from barbershop hell.
My kid’s friend had her older sister do a Dali on her hair and she was mortified – she opted to shave her head and bought herself a couple of hats – it’s been a few months now and it’s growing in quite nicely. Might be worth a short period of wearing a topper on the turnip.
thsi is why i am becomign a hair dresser this has happend to me time and time agian!honestly go to a hair school it seems scary but they can only do what you aska nd there is strick supervision!also there are plenty of places now that sell wigs that look real
Go to Xidos and see Jamie! Not only is he beautiful and hilarious, but he’ll work yo’ hair like a dream man. I dunno if he specializes in short hair for women, but he does a great fuckin’ job of it. Seriously. And he’s so open about what you say. If you don’t love it, he’ll fix it.
