    Default AH! Stupid hairdresser!

    So, I usually cut my own hair, but I decided to go in to a salon and get my hair professionally trimmed...I asked to cut off no more than 1 inch...and promptly watched as 7 inches of my hair floated to the ground in the first snip

    I ranted and raved...but they still made me pay for the bad cut. Whatever. I promptly got into my car and cried like a little girl. I've been trying for so long to grow out my hair! It was about bra line length...now it's slightly below my chin.

    I know it's silly, but my hair was the one thing I loved and was confident about...I know it'll grow back (eventually) but still...this sucks.

    I just need sympathy lol

    it's not silly....i would have flipped if this had happened to me. one question....why didn't you stop the hairdresser when you first noticed it was wrong? perhaps then you could have left, gone elsewhere, and had it layered to blend it in. or hell, clipped that one shorter piece back with a barette till it grew out? sorry....had to ask.

    i think you should lodge a complaint either with the salon, or on ripoffreport.com or something. i'm wondering how the hell this stylist could have misunderstood (or ingored) you so blatantly. sorry this happened....it's really fucked up, and you have every right to be as upset as you are.

    She did the trick where they pull the top straight up, and twist it around so the hair is close together...I've had stylists do this and they usually just trim off the scraggly ends...she did it and took inches off all at once..otherwise I would have screamed STOP and just walke dout lol...but the top half was so short, I would have had a mullet, so I had to sit so it was presentable.

    Now it actually is a cute cut, I just dont like short hair,a nd am ticked she didnt bother to listen to me

    ^^ ahh...i see. that is really really fucked up. she should have listened to you, and despite the fact that it looks cute, it's not something you like, and that is reason enough to be pissed. there is a thread on here about Walmart hair pills that make it grow faster, so that is one thing that might work....

    Wow, sorry to hear that. I still cannot grasp why hairdressers do such things, seriously, I just don't. I would log a complaint with the salon and hair dresser as soon as possible. Good luck!

    That's horrible, I would have refused to pay, at least not anywhere close to the full price. I would be so mad if that happened.

    This is very weird, but I had that nightmare last night. I dreamt that I was getting a trim and that the hairdresser cut my lower back length hair into a bob. In my dream I was furious, I wanted to kill him(my hairdresser was a man), I was so angry! I actually woke up almost in tears!

    If I were you I am not sure what I would do. Ugh! I am so furious for you! I would feel so taken advantage of...and I just can't believe they made you pay. You should have, and still should cause a ruckass. I don't know who you could complain to now. She just should not be able to get away with that!

    This is why I have not had a professional haircut in years. They always do this to me!!! Just buy some professional scissors. If all you need is a trim of one inch, you can do that yourself.

    I would have not paid her at all. I said 1 inch. What she can't count I would have complain as soon as I seen more than 1 inch. hit the floor. See that is why only men do my hair. These women get jealous for no apparent reason. Thats another reason why I dont have to many women friends but thats another thread. I sugguest you see if you can take some leagal action agaisnt the hair dresser and/or the company the hairstylist work for! It is worth a try, and you might even feel good knowing you can. Truth be told the number 7 dose not sound like the number one. She cut your hair that short, when you ask for an one inch trim. Now see if she likes to be sued. Your hair being shorten my affect your earning, check it out and tell me what you are going to to decide.

    That just sucks ass. I am so sorry! I cannot even begin to imagine. My hair is down to my butt and I would have to claw someone's eyes out if they did that to me. Sorry girl. Wish there were something I could say or do to make you feel better.

    man what is it with certain hairdressers. honestly i don't even know how they passed the boards to become a sylist.... its sooo hard to find someone you really like that will do a great job... i would check around and find a top notch salon where they know how to give a proper haircut..... i guess you could always do extensions if you don't like the length...

    Aww...i'm sorry, that so sux! I know how you feel, this always happens to me. The last bitch of a hairdresser i went to turned my hair blonde ( i wanted highlights AND LOWLIGHTS)....rag. I then had to have the guy there fix it...all at the expense of my hairs health. I was in tears.
    I used to refuse to let women touch my hair..... but it had been a while so i figured why not let this woman do it. Never, ever, ever again.
    I have only had 3 women do their job on my hair properley.
    You definetly should not have paid...i don't know how they could of 'made' you?

    You should not have paid! I would also recommend you complain to the Board of Cosmetology in your state.

    Please stop hating on the female stylists! I've had both men and women screw up my hair! Poor comunication and listening skills know no sex. I haven't been doing hair very long, but I've never had a customer leave my chair unhappy because I ask lots of questions and perform thorough consultations.

    I do think that if you're unhappy with your service, you shouldn't pay. As for calling the state board, you can try it, but most cosmetology regulatory agencies are only intrested in unsafe or unsanitary practices, not customer service or satisfaction.

    What you saying can be true in most cases. But half of the time some women do this on purpose. Let me give you a few examples. This one women did her other client hair beautifully, WHich is the reason why I went to her shop. When she did my hair she was ruff, and she had tracks hanging out the back of my hair. Than she felt my kids was acting to white because they spoke proper english. I had one stylist cut my hair uneven than try to play it off like it as a cute style. When I did not ask her to cut my hair. Some women stylist are just plain jelly(jealous). I found two men who do a wonderful job on my hair. Every single woman that I let do my hair will say how cute and nice my hair is than mess it up! Now If you have a female that dose your hair wonder thats nice. I can't say nothing bad about that! I know the men that do my hair takes care of it and help me keep my crown(good, healthy, hair). I can say I tried a lot of differant places. I was about to give up getting my hair done for special occassion. But than I met Mark, and Rio. I love them!

    Mia M, you are right, it's not really fair to hate on female stylists. If anything, it is my own shit. Luckily everyone does not feel the same way as me. And not all male hairdressers are fabulous.

    Thanks, Ava. Ever since I've started entertaining, I've become sensitive to stereotypes. Now that I'm doing hair, I find I have another hurdle to get over, my gender!

    Ah that's horrible! This girl I work with told me that she use to have hair down to her butt... she went in and asked for a "no more than 1 inch" trim and some highlights... the hair dresser left the bleach in for over 2 hours and "trimmed" her hair to above her bra line... then when the girl complained, the hair dresser said "well everyone gets a bad hair cut now and then" and when she said that she needs it for work, the hair dresser goes "Well it's not my fault that you choose to do that for work, why don't you get a normal job?"... she sued her for $100k.

    I've had too many bad experiences with hair dressers... there's a trend for "thinning down" hair here I think (i HATE it, I have naturally really full/porn hair that's sort of medium ash blonde with platinum/white highlights when I go into the sun - and hair dressers hate it, lol). I've walked out of hair dressing salons with over-bleached fluff, with green/yellow-ish tinge to my hair, with red hair (like in the display pic - i told her I want silver hair), and usually having to trim off 1 or 2 inches of hair because of the split ends. Haven't had a good cut or colour from a hair dresser in over 5 years... I'll just stick to cutting and dying it myself.

    You all are making me feel really grateful for my gal. If anyone is in the Indianapolis area I know the best hairdresser in town.

    As for the bad haircut, I'd complain and get my money back. There's no reason you should have to pay for something like that. Take those hair vitamins and hopefully it will grow out quickly.

    I had this happen to me...and it was pure hell because I have naturally curly hair (which only looks a little wavy when its long and unlayered). It was down to the middle of my back and I told her to "trim the very ends". She ended up giving me one of the "shaved layered" bobs...and turned promptly white when I told her my hair is curly. It was so fucking short I looked like bozo because my hair was so curly. I jumped out of the chair in tears told her to fuck off and left. The lady called my house to say that if I didn't pay, she would call the cops and my mom just said, well, I'm surprised she didn't slap you for what you did to her hair.

    But, not all stylists are bad. I have one woman stylist that I would drive 3 hours to see. I love Tracy...not only does she cut my hair exactly how I want it, but if she thinks something will look good (cut/color) she will run it by me and ask if she can do that. I'm to the point now that whatever she suggests, I let her do...I trust her that much.

    And, no one can MAKE you pay. I would have absolutely refused and put up a bitch right there.

    Wow, I'm so sorry this happened, dear! The last bad exp. I had, involved a hairdresser I'd been going to for a yr. straight. She was "training" a new hire, they both overhighlighted my hair & left the stuff on too long. I had to get a lot of hair cut, & it's still not to where it was, condition-wise. I did call the shop owner, & she looked @ my hair, (tried to get me to get it corrected there, but no way). She did refund my $. I would def. complain, if they don't give you the $ try the Better Business Bureau, bbb.org and/or the cosmetology board, as prev. suggested.
    I use & love Chinese Herbal Stimulating Shampoo, Solray Hair blend herbal supplements, & Nature's Sunshine herbal hair supplements. Good luck, let us know how it goes.
