terrible cut

I am sorry you had such a bad experience and are now afraid to try something different. I know that I was "gun-shy" for a very long time after having a really bad salon hair color disaster. At the time I swore I would never color my hair again. However, eventually I did get up the nerve to try again, and this time it worked out. Now I really it.

I really think the key is to find a good hairdresser you can trust. Maybe next time you see someone with well-cut hair or a style you admire you can ask them who their hairdresser is, and make an appointment with that person.

In the meantime, I hope the Ultra Nourishair works and your hair grows out fast.

I sympathize...

I had long hair. I went to get a trim and the lady put two layers at the bottom and one in front that looked really messy and sloppy. I would`ve had to blow-dry and mousse my hair every day for it to look decent. So I made the mistake of going to another hairdresser to cut off the layers. At first he said that he would have to cut off two inches. Then he cut off more than four, and worst of all, he relayered the entire front so now I have some chin-length layers. I was so angry.

Hi. Don`t feel bad. I had my hair cut yesterday and it looks horrible. The hair dresser decided to put layers in my hair and now when I blow dry it, I look like a fur ball.

I can pray with compassion on this one! I fell victim to a hair dresser with delusions of grandeur...you know the kind. He jets to England and Italy every year to learn the "latest styles", etc., etc...

My long-time hair designer (I love you, Lori) retired from hair work to begin a family. I`d never let anyone else touch my hair but her and even then, it took me two years to not tremble when she began so much as a 1/4" trim. (Childhood hair-length issues.) I went for nearly 18 months without so much as a trim after she stopped doing hair; my hair was to my waist.

Okay, longer story shortened: Was referred to this Dr. Mengele of hair styles by a friend. I didn`t know he thought long hair was a bad thing. I asked for a regular 1/4" trim, he said I should cut it more since long hair was just so "Cher" and far too dated. I said no, took me too long to grow it, makes me feel more feminine and pretty. We bantered back and forth and finally agreed (I THOUGHT) on letting him remove appx 3" of the truly damaged ends.

He snagged his scissors and before I knew it, my hair was just above my colorbone, with doofy bangs. I was absolutely traumatized, my worst childhood nightmares revisited! Even though most people said it was "chic"--I`m not the "chic" type, trust me--I wept for 3 full days, hated mirrors, gained weight... yeesh. (shudder)

Of course, I never set foot near him again and it was again months before I would even look at a salon. However, because God is good, I`ve finally located a hair guru, Jilda, who understands me and nurses me through my trims. My hair is layered and growing, back down to just at or a bit below bra strap level. (I`m letting it get back to where it was, and I don`t give a d*mn HOW old I am when it gets there!!!)

Except now SHE`S pregnant. If she retires, I shall simply purchase weaponry before I choose a new stylist and explain what I want. Yes, I shall be armed and ready...he/she will be surprised what he/she can live through. (lol)

I RECCOMMEND JUST CUTTING ALL THAT HAIR VERY VERY SHORT...LONG HAIR ON WOMEN IS TERRIBLE...SHORTER IS BETTER, I THINK YOU SHOULD INVEST IN A SET OF OSTER CLIPPERS WITH A #3 BLADE AND BUZZ THAT CRAP OFF

I have empathie for you Jim`s girl. It happened to me once.

Hey to cut your hair short person. I recommend that you totally shave your hair off since you don`t since to appreciate anything! I don`t think you deserve your own hair.

YOU BORE ME, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I DIDNT ALREADY CUT ALL MY HAIR OFF AND MAYBE I SHOULD COME TO CANADA AND GIVE YOU A REALLY NICE SHORT BUZZED HAIRCUT, I BET YOUD LOOK PRETTY WITH SHORT SHORT HAIR

why don`t you go to Canada and make us all happy? (Diane keep your door locked!)

Yawn to you too, you bore me.
:(You`re being very rude, if you don`t have anything nice to say to people then go find a different board!
:PWhat have you got against hair anyway? Is this some sort of jelousy issue, like you went bald at a horribly young age and you can`t even go outside because you can`t bear the sight of all these people walking around with thick heads of hair or something?
8)If so I feel sorry for you, :(but for some reason I think you are just doing this to be rude, and make us all mad, and if that`s the case, like I already said, go find a different board!
(Sorry, I didn`t meen for this to sound like some sort of smackdown against bald people or something, as I have nothing against you:D)

uhhh a shaved head never looks very appealing to me.. but thats just my opinion.

I like doing things with my hair too much to shave it all off. I`d get bored too quickly. Although the thought of not having to do much with it is very appealing. So, it`s still in the process of growing back. I agree that everyone does have the right to their opinion, even if it sounds rude. I appreciate all of the replies...good and bad.
And, typing in all caps sounds like yelling, even if it`s not meant that way. :)
