thin ends

Hmmm. That's all a matter of opinion. I probably would have gotten the full inch, knowing my history with haircuts. But then, this is why my hair has been BSL for years and years.

I would get the full inch, and then use oil at least once or twice a week to keep the ends nice and plump.

Curious to see what others say about this.

Oh well! I don't think it makes that much of a difference.

It would have been nice if your hairdresser had said something about it BEFORE she started cutting. But maybe she realized it halfway through. Again: oh well. :)

todia you hair is beautiful. why would they want to cut so much off?

I dont go to hair dressers anymore. Well, my cousin is a hairdresser and just did my cut, but she actualy took less off than I was expecting (so as not to shock me too much probably). However every single time Ive gone to a hairdresser (even if im just sitting there to keep a friend company). They want to cut as much off as possible. If you let them cut it they cut more than you really need.

Ive had some tell me i would never grow my hair long if they didnt cut more (my hair grew just fine with out that more cut). Ive had hair dresser want to trim my bangs short when i was growing them out telling em "youll never grow them out, youll cut them as soon as they reach your nose. My bangs are now the same lenght as my hair.

So get the lenght you want, not what they want. An inch of thinness isnt really going to be noticeable anyways.

Thats why I dont trust them. My cousin at least listened to me and cut less than I expected her to. She did better than my mom who I usualy let cut my hair (because she will not go too far from what I want even if she wants it short short).

Congratulations to you, p-b, for avoiding this deceitful salon owner!

You make a very good point, Monica. Allow me to elaborate?

Scenario A: Long-haired person, growing longer, goes to salon once every 3 months for a half-inch trim. Patron gets what they ask for. Repeat visits, ad infinitum, $20 per visit = $80 per year in stylists' pocket.

Scenario B: Long-haired person, maintaining present length, goes to salon once every 3 months for a one-and-a-half-inch trim. Patron receives services requested, repeat visits forever, $80 per year in stylists' pocket.

Scenario C: Long-haired person, either growing longer or maintaining present length, goes to salon and requests 1" trim. Stylist hacks off 3 or 5 or more inches. Patron is appalled and angry, and never returns. If patron pays the stylist $20, that's $20 in stylist's pocket today, and never ever any more.

Which scenario(s) are most beneficial to the hypothetical stylist? Not incidentally, the ones in which the patron has received what they have requested. That some stylists still pursue scenario C is not only cruel, it is bad business. When are they going to wake up?
