QuoteReplyTopic: Hair Catastrophe!! Posted: January 11 2000 at 7:11pm
I have semi-long golden blonde hair and decided to let my mom try and cut it. It turned out un-even and ugly! My mom, on the other hand, thought it looked "cute". I could die! Anyway, I am trying to decide whether or not to go to a salon and have them fix it. It would really really hurt my mom's feelings if she found out. So its my mom's feelings or my hair. Advice, anyone? Thanks!

Why don't you go to the salon "for another service," like having your hair set before an outing or a function (get together with your friends to invent one if you have to) and just ask the hairdresser to make some minor improvements (make sure they're minor) during the same visit. (If you can't think of a specific event, you may just want to plan a "girl's day out" that includes a makeover.) That should help it look better for now. Then, after about two weeks, you can decide that it's time for another trim and go to the salon for a professional haircut before your mom can even think about trying it herself again. Another alternative is to take a shopping trip either alone or with your friends and come home with something like the Klutz braid book, and spending two or three weeks trying to perfect a new braid before you go in for a normal trim. You can then gradually phase out the braiding if you don't like it. I hope this helped.Erika> I have semi-long golden blonde hair and decided to let> my mom try and cut it.

P.S. If you take the like the first option that I offered, make sure that you *do* actually go somewhere, so you won't hurt your mom's feelings.> Why don't you go to the salon "for another> service," like having your hair set before an> outing or a function (get together with your friends> to invent one if you have to) and just ask the> hairdresser to make some minor improvements (make sure> they're minor) during the same visit.
