Fuck Hairdressers
April 12, 2009 | Filed under Body
Why is it that when you ask for a trim at the hairdresser’s (just half a inch off please!), you inevitably end up with half your hair gone? I’ve got to get my hair chemically straightened again for it to look halfway decent, because the natural wave of my hair is making it look vaguely mullet-y at the moment.
I’ve somehow gone from having hair halfway down my back, to having hair just below my shoulders. I had been intending on growing my hair longer so that it touched the small of my back. Fuck hairdressers. Next time I need a trim, I’m just going to get out a pair of scissors and trim the split ends off myself.

haha I got my hair trimmed today too! but the girl was new at it and i had the opposite effect of what you get (and what I usually get), so I barely got anything lopped off :P

My hairdresser doesn’t do that. But she was shocked when I went to her on Friday asking to have my hair cut up to my shoulders (from halfway down my back as well). Your hair looks awesome though!

I generally have the opposite problem. I prefer shorter hair (easier to maintain!) and hairdressers seem really reluctant to cut my hair above my shoulders. I always end up having more hair than I intended.

I actually prefer shorter hair as well as it has lower maintenance. ;)
I think this situation happens 90% of the time. Whenever I have a trim, I have to constantly reminds the hairdresser that “not too short” please every few minutes.

Heh, that’s why I don’t go to hairdressers anymore. My aunt cuts my hair for me. ;D

Had a similar experience, the hairdresser left my hair too long at the back and behind my ears, it looked ok at first but when it grew longer, it looked like something straight from the 80s.

Aw! I always hate it when hairdressers chop off more than necessary! I mean, how the heck they take “one inch” into five?! *hugs*

Eck, that’s madness. I always have the same bitch about hairdressers after a haircut. That’s why I haven’t had a “trim” in like… 6 months, but eww, i feel sorry for you :(

I had to go the hairdresser last night. I told her “trim the ends”, my hair is now neck length. She cut at least four freaking inches off!!!!
I’m livid. Reading this reminds of that. I wish I knew how to cut my damn hair. >:[

I trim my own hair myself every few months. I end up style-less but atleast I can continue growing my hair out to the length I want : )
Hairdressers are too expensive just for a trim, and they always want to cut off more than neccesary.

That happens to me, too! My hair is all the way down to my ass and I always hate to get it cut. I finally found a hairdresser who takes off only what needs to come off. Thank goodness!

I understand your woe. You have no idea how many hairdressers I went through trying to find one that didn’t automatically assume I was a butch lesbian because I like unfussy pixie crops. Some of them just took electric razors out and practically shaved my head :| Excuse me but how is this turning me into Sienna Miller?
All I can say is keep searching for a hairdresser that isn’t a scissor-happy freak!

This is why I love the fact that my sister is my hairdresser. She knows that if she cuts too much off, I’ll kill her, so she’s super careful.
You can’t really threaten your hairdresser like that. Haha.
You could also invest in one of those Split Ender things I’ve seen advertised on TV often.

Ugh, I hate hairdressers. I’ve had so many hairstyles from hell. I keep my hair very short and it’s very difficult to find a hairdresser that can do it short and not make me look like a boy or a stereotypical lesbian. When I had long hair I just got a friend to trim it. It’s easier than messing with a hairdresser.

What’s wrong with them. When you tell them that you want just little trim they cut half of your hair and if you I want short hair they just keep asking “are you sure, you have so beautiful long hair?” PAH!
Hanna on April 13, 2009 #
That’s why I do it myself!
Anyway, I love your hair. I wish my hair was half as straight as yours!

i endured 4 months with the worst roots because i was trying so hard to grow my hair. what happened? i asked for my roots to be touched up and a slight trim. i explain to her that i don’t like to look funky, but classic and feminine. she acts like she understands completely and promises not to cut off any more than half and inch. halfway through, she starts saying stuff like “oh, these ends are so damaged” and wham, half of my hair is gone, plus she gives me bangs, really obvious streaky highlights and some funky ass layers. i now look like i stepped straight out of the early 90′s. this is especially annoying because my hair grows at a snail’s pace and i have a very unusual face shape — even a couple of centimetres shorter makes me look like a cow. she says, “your hair will be healthier for it”. you know what? fuck you. hair is dead. it can’t be healthy, it can only look healthy and i’m more than willing and capable of putting in the time to make my hair look healthy no matter what condition it’s in. i am not, however, able to drop 2000 bucks on a weave after you’ve screwed my hair up (which, btw, i paid you 200+ to do). never again.

OMG I went to the hairdresser, and got like a posh bob type look, i asked for the front to be just above my shoulders and the back a little lower than hairline, and the BACK to have large layers, oh and a side fringe to sweep across my face. I came out around the right length, the backs probably longer than I’d like, but the front has large layers and the back is all the same length, which I didn’t realise in the shop because there was a kink in my hair that looked like where the hair was cut. needless to say my fringe looks like half of a straight fringe, it doesn’t sweep whatsoever, it’s nearly perfectly straight.
