    Default bad haircuts

    *sigh*

    is there anything more depressing than a bad haircut?

    i went and had a free haircut today as a favour to a friend who is studying hairdressing - one of her friends needed a model. i was told it would be a "trim" that "wouldn't take very long". i very specifically said, repeatedly, that i have been trying to grow my hair and that i have REALLY been trying to grow out the layers i had cut into it a few years ago, so i did not want her to cut much off and wanted no layers.

    2.5 hours later i'm left with layered hair that's had almost 3 inches chopped off the bottom and is only just sitting on my shoulders. i'm absolutely fucking devastated. so now i'm hoping like hell i can find somewhere that will be able to do hair extensions (which i really do not want to pay for right now) before i have to work on friday night, because i do not want to work like this. i mean, the actual cut is very nice, it's just waaaaay too fucking short for me.

    let this be a lesson to us all - free haircuts are not necessarily a good thing! this 'free haircut' has probably just cost me about $800

    As a cosmetology student, I apologize on behalf of all of us.

    awww, sorry to hear! i know what it's like. but hair grows fast, and if you say the cut itself is nice, maybe give it a chance before splurging on extensions? i was surprised when i wasn't happy with my hair but customers liked it and i made more money (but i acted like my hair was just fine and was supposed to be that way, lol, no pointing out your own flaws and whining). give it maybe 2 weeks before you absolutely decide you hate it? and take biotin/prenatal vitamins. makes hair grow superfast.

    and please tell that hairdresser person that if they want to have any clientelle in the future they need to learn to listen! i've met so few who actually do.

    Good luck!

    nothing is worse!!!!!!!!!! last year i went to this really expensive hairdresser and i had long, long hair, he cut in above my shoulders, and i hated it!!!!!! my hair is finally long again, i guess i am not a short hair person i paid a lot of $$ for that, the cut was nice and trendy, just not me, so i know what you mean, i would've gotten extensions, but they were like 1,000 for good ones couldn't afford to drop that kind of cash

    Maybe insted of dropping a ton of money on actual extensions go for a wig or just the hair clip extensions you add to a ponytail? Sorry you ended up with your hair ruined I think you need to tell her so she knows for next time..

    I have been through all that from bangs, to shorter hair and also the dye jobs from hell, one girl gave me grey on top and black underneath, ick (that was a student that did not know what she was thinking)..
    I've also had a professional dye my blonde hair brown, brown? sheesh
    Sorry you have to stress! At least you can say it's a pretty good cut job, my student friend tried cutting my hair and one side was longer than the other...
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    That sucks! I had a bit too much cut off last week too, and first thing I did was go on eBay to buy some hair wefts.

    i've made an appointment to get hair extensions today lol

    it kinda sucks cos i was saving up to get some sexy rims for my car, but oh well. i've wanted extensions put back in for ages, at least now i have an excuse.

    the more i look at this cut, the more i hate it!!

    That exact same thing happened to my friend. She had natural beautiful thick hair almost to her butt. She went to the school her friend was at for a few layers and ended up with 3 inch chunks taken out from butt to shoulders. Had to cut it all off and start over.

    I dont understand this tho... as a cosmo student I could never just chop at a persons hair... its people like this one (who dont listen to the customer or model) who end up hating cosmo school or not getting a job or working at supercuts....

    Im sorry hun! Itll grow. Get some scalp treatments - they remove all the built up gunk at your scalp so your hair can grow faster and easier. Good luck!

    What is a scalp treatment? Is it like a clarifying shampoo?

    No. A scalp treatment is a special kind of brushing and scalp massage. The brushing and massage loosen gunk that builds up and blocks your follicle... stuff normal brushing and shampoo dont get rid of.

    This is something you CAN get done at your local beauty school - theres NO WAY they can hurt you. It takes about 30 minutes and feels SOOO good. Had it done to me today at school I think at a school theyre something like $10-15...
