    Default Great Color, Horrible Cut

    Copied from the Random Thread to explain the tragedy that happened yesterday... at least I like the color. But I still want to cry every time I move my head and I don't have hair moving with it. How much can I expect to spend on a good set of extensions?

    'Scuse me looking seriously tired. I took those pics at about 3:30 in the morning after a VERY long day.

    -------------

    I took some pics with the updo, just because I love the color. But the cut is really horrible. I basically have a mullet. It was long, very thick and full, and wavy; I told her I was trying to grow it out waist length again and I wanted to bring the existing layers closer together. So she cut super-short layers, including a layer on top that ends at the CROWN of my head, and then for some reason I don't know she fucking THINNED my ends so I have these vague, pathetic little wisps that she called "keeping the length." It's really terrible and now I don't think I'll ever get the thick long waist-length hair I wanted so desperately. I think I'm about to cry again. Why the fuck would you thin someone's hair, especially someone who just told you she loved thick full bouncy sexy hair?

    I really look like a bull dyke in a mullet. It's horrible. I got through work with an updo last night but I hate wearing updos at work, they're not slimming and I dance by tossing all my thick full hair around. I really need extensions now.

    The color IS beautiful!!! Don't worry Yek, it will grow. Haircuts can be so dramatic sometimes. I wish I could offer advice about extensions but I had mine a few years ago, and I know prices would be different now, of course.

    The color is really amazing. I think the cut is really cute, but I know how frustrating it is to go from sexy voluptuous hair to short hair! Do you think it's long enough in the back to wear clip-in extensions? The color *really* makes your eyes look stunning, and I love the highlights.

    That's an updo. Trust me, you haven't seen the cut. I'm going to go get it wet in a little bit and try to restyle it, and then I'll take another pic. But it's so fucking THIN. It's just little wisps with absolutely no body or bounce or fullness. I just don't understand why on earth you would thin someone's hair on purpose. Doesn't everyone want thick full hair??

    I don't know anything about extensions at all. I need to find them. But I don't want clip-ins, I want real extensions so I don't wake up crying over the fact that I don't have hair spilling across the bed like I used to. The ONLY FUCKING THING I get vain about is my fucking hair! Why did she do this? Who on earth would ever think a feminine, girly stripper would look good in a mullet? Did I piss her off or something?

    Anyway, thank you. I do really like the color too. She threw in about 10 blond foils and mixed two different reds to get the red shade, and I really like the effect. If I just had more freaking hair I would love it.

    Love, love, love the color! I too just dyed my hair. It's a more burgundy red though. But I love how that color looks with your skin.

    Totally adoring the color; seriously, seeing how lovely you look with that shade makes me wanna go red too! And I'm sure that there is a solution in the making with the cut...once you post more pics, you will have all the talented beauty queens of SW working around the clock to help you style/regrow the luscious, luxurious locks that you want!

    Well... thanks. I'm gonna go to the bank (in a hat) and get some lunch, and then I'll come back here for a nice bath and I'll see how I can fluff it out. If nothing else I can just keep wearing it up until I save up enough for extensions.

    Wow the color is great and it really makes your eyes pop. Good extensions will be expensive. Definately do your research! A freind of mine got them done and it made her hair break off I don't know exactly what kind she got but I do know they were glue ins so be careful!

    I want to see your mullet!!!!!!!! Come over to my house before your bath!!!!!!!!!

    I play with clip in's every once in a while and could help you with those, but I don't know of any good sew in extension places. I know Kalista advertises them, but you said you weren't very happy with them. Maybe look on www.citysearch.com?

    Great color though sweetie.

    And I was almost smiling when you desribed your cut, because it sounds like she just gave you that typical portland hipster haircut that is so popular.

    Oh Yek, that color is SO beautiful. Your stylist didn't happen to give you the formula for it, did she? Or could one of our regular SW stylists let me know what it is?

    Just...WOW.

    And I bet you'll settle in to the hairstyle nicely. Even the ones that suck at first end up looking okay after a couple of weeks.

    I called the salon and left a message saying that I really wasn't happy with my cut and now I need extensions, and I asked if they do extensions there or if they could refer to me to someone who does. Maybe I can get a little discount on the extensions since I paid $120 for this woman to set me back several years in my quest for beautiful long hair. But fuck, how expensive and high-maintenance when what I had was so full and thick! I just needed a fucking trim and some bangs!

    I still don't understand why on earth you would thin someone's hair on purpose. Are there really people out there thinking, "Hm, my hair is too thick and full, I'd rather have it all wispy like an old bald man's"? Is the geriatric look getting trendy now?

    There's a girl at D1 who got a really short haircut and just got super long extensions (to the small of her back) that look real and blend well at this place called Studio Catwalk on Mcloughlin. Whoever did them did a really good job- they're the fusion kind, I dont know if you have a preference or not, but that's what she got. She said to make her short (nape-length) hair to the small of her back it cost about 1,000 dollars. That's a lot, but they look good and she said she just needs to go back every 6-8 weeks for maintenance or something like that.

    yeah sallys' is good, but I wrote that before i read you didn't want clip ins.... maybe clip ins would be better though because they won't be as damaging to your hair that you're trying to grow out?

    Well, I'm gonna have to settle for clip-ins, it looks like. I called Dirty Little Secret salon about sew-in extensions today and they said I should expect to spend at least $900, and they have to be redone every 6-8 weeks. I really can't afford that. I'm so gonna kill this woman, you have no idea. There is MURDER on my mind.

    Go with the clip-ins Yek. Any kind of "permanent" extensions will damage your hair and make it even harder for you to grow it out - aside from being overly expensive. Think of it as a way to dramatically change your 'do as often as you wish

    It's not going to fuck up my hair wearing extensions every day for a couple of years? Trust me, there is no damn way I'm ever going to let myself be seen with this ugly-ass mullet. I'm going to have to wear the extensions every single day and I'm still going to feel hideous and bald when I'm in bed with K (or whoever, LOL). This is totally going to destroy my sex life. I want real hair that stays in.

    I would think it'd be best to only wear them out, at work and such, not constantly. But I don't have experience with them, just from what I've seen of others. I think if you get some good ones and learn how best to apply them you should be ok.

    Maybe start a thread on clip-in extensions for advice and recs.



    And, I can't help feeling a lil like SWF right now. You wanted bangs, and red waist-length hair?? Spoooooky! j/k

    LOL, I used to have hair I could sit on, and I wanted it really long again. But I wanted big long bouncy red curls, not straight like yours... I was sort of going for the Eve-in-the-Garden-of-Eden look. Boy did I not get that.

    You have bangs now? I didn't want straight across, just a little swoop so my forehead didn't look so huge. I got that and I do like it. Just wish I had more of a party in the back, as it were.

    Sorry to SWF ya, was not my intention. I'm on my way to Sally now to see what we can do to fix this problem. I really like the idea of taking the extensions to the same stylist if they don't match, and letting her dye them. I'm so pissed at this, I can barely speak. This is the single worst haircut I've ever gotten in my entire life. I feel like everyone is staring at me in horror when I go by.

    The color is beautiful! I'm sorry the stylist butchered your hair-I do see a LOT of girls with thinned out hair nowadays. I really want a little trim, but I'm afraid they're going to bust out the razor like they did last time.

    Walmart hair pills? Biotin supplements? *hug*

    if you go to a really good stylist they might be able to make it a lot better. sure, it'll probably mean wearing it short for awhile (which i think is hot anyway.. but im biased). someone with skill could reshape it a bit at least, so you don't have a "mullet". then you can wear clip ins when you want or wear it down without TOTALLY hating it.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I'm falling apart again, I can't stop crying. I've sobbed all afternoon. It took me FOUR FUCKING YEARS to grow that out from the last shitty short haircut I had, and it looked horrible while it was still growing out. I feel like my femininity is completely gone. The ONE thing I prided myself on was my long, thick, full hair; it felt sexy when it brushed against my back, and I felt so womanly when it moved around my shoulders. And now it's gone and I just look like a fat pasty dyke.

    I'm completely and totally heartbroken. Maybe it's stupid, but I can't help it. The ONE thing I loved about my appearance is gone and nothing can bring it back. In another four years I'll be turning 33. I just don't understand why she did this to me, no one on earth would ever think this cut looks good. I have to go to work but I can't get up and leave right now. I'm sobbing as I type and I keep throwing up. I can cut it some more so I don't have a mullet, but I hate having short hair and I feel so ugly and unfeminine.

    I can't afford a thousand dollars for extensions. I drove all the way to Clackamas to look for clip extensions at Sally Beauty, but they didn't have anything that remotely matched my color, so I'm stuck. I don't know how I'm supposed to get up and go to work and expect people to find me attractive.

    Go to Sally Beauty on 40th and Halsey- ask the girl at the counter to get you remy 14'' (or 18'' although they may not blend as well) clip in extensions. Just get a light color and then bring them to your colorist to dye to match. You can curl them and style them to make them curly, they're straight in the box though. good luck!
