I decided in October to grow my hair a little longer. The guy who cuts my hair said that he'd cut it so it would grow back in stages. I loved it. I actually decided to keep it medium short, and went in for a trim this morning.
"Hey, I just want a little trim," I told my stylist.
"Sure," he said. Then he went outside to check out the traffic situation because there was a lot of honking. A few minutes later, he ran out to move his car before it got a ticket.
With all that disruption, he seemed to forget what I wanted because I am sitting here at my keyboard 90 minutes later with really short hair, depressed and wanting a paper bag to put over my head because not only is it shorter than I wanted, but it also is not that great. There are worse things in the world, but it's really frustrating to think that I'm right back to where I was two months ago, except worse because he didn't even cut it in a way that will grow back nicely.

oh no! you didn't chew his @$$ out for not doing what he asked? i'm the last person to speak up in situations like that, but you shouldn't have had to pay for it.
ReplyDelete(and i'm sure it looks fine, if not great; you rock the short hair!)
It took me literally years to find someone who asks me what I want and listens to me.
ReplyDeleteMy advice for people who would like to grow their hair: don't get it cut. And take a multivitamin.
ReplyDeleteI got a horrible haircut 3.5 years ago that featured bald spots and sideburns. I cried and then vowed not to cut my hair ever again. I had a mullet for six months but I started taking prenatal vitamins and aside from a few trims, I haven't gotten it cut since then. Now it's past my boobs for the first time since before I had boobs.
