Aaaarghhhh!!!!!!
I’ve just had my hair cut in my lunch hour and she’s scalped me. It looks as if my mother’s cut it with a pair of shears. I’m going on holiday the week after next and I look awful. My fringe is non-existant and I’m trying to pull it to make it longer. Feeling a bit tearful. Not even the people who I work with, who like me (I think), can say anything positive. When the most positive thing someone can say is ‘it will grow out’ then you know you’ve got problems!
Anyone got a nice hat I can borrow?Frown

Oh I feel for you.
Nothing worse than not being happy with your hair.
You have a couple of weeks before your holiday so it will have grown a bit and not look quite so ‘sheared’ by then. All I can suggest is that you play around with it a bit, if the fringe is really short try a bit of wax and spike it a bit so it looks as though you meant it to be that way. Of course there is the hat route as you say.
Poor you.
I no longer go to hairdressers because I honestly don’t trust them anymore – I do my own hair and that includes cutting it. At least then I only have my own self to get mad at and it hasn’t cost me money as well as made me blush…………….Laugh

This cost me 40 quid, and I did the English thing of not saying that I hated it and then giving her a £5 tip! Shoot me!!!!

To add insult to injury my secretary has just suggested that I may like to wear a paper bag over my head on the flight. She’s so in for a pay cut.

Even better than a pay cut why not give her a gift voucher to be used at your hairdressers???!!!

I’ve just got home and my partner thinks my hair is nice. As he clearly likes the derranged pixie look I don’t know whether to be pleased or worried.Confused

Olga I tried a beanie but it just accentuated the fact that I’m missing a fringe!

Disarranged Pixie haha I like that. I suppose that would be a way to describe mine now short and sort of sticky outey. Everybody I know complimented me on my new style when I first cut it and now I just keep it short and spiky.
You may even find yourself getting used to it and liking it in time. Your chappie likes it so that is half the battle. Well done that man for being so sweet. Most men don’t notice you have had it done!

If we still wore gable hoods no one would notice.
Was she talking the whole time she was chopping away at your hair? I try to keep the talking down to a minimum when I get a haircut. I swear the more they talk, the more they cut. Yeah it’ll grow eventually, but in the meantime, you feel like you’ve been scalped. Been there! That’s why I keep my hair long. When I ask them to take an inch, and they end up taking 2 inches, no one notices but me.

She’s been cutting my hair for nearly two years and I love the way she does it. This time I asked her to do the same as usual and she just went off on a frolick of her own. It was really weird. She’s young, slim and pretty. Looking at her boat race in the mirror compared to mine is disturbing at the best of times. This time I really wanted to hit her with the hairdrier.

Pardon my ignorance, but “her boat race”?!!! Is that cockney for face? I’m sorry but I’m no good at these things Embarassed
Bad haircuts suck though, hope you’ve found a nice summer hat to hide the damage until it grows out Louise!

Bella, you are correct. One phrase I used to use to my poor assistant when faced with a time deadline was, “move your arris”. Bella, I’ll let you have countless hours of fun working out what that meant!Wink

Hmm, arris…. arris…. the only word I can come up with doesn’t absolutely rhyme with ‘arris’ though. Unless the ‘i’ is somewhat silent? Laugh Laugh
