QuoteReplyTopic: EVER LET A FRIEND CUT HAIR? Posted: June 22 2002 at 10:48pm
Yeah one day I was bored.. I decided to cut my own hair. I wanted it texturized so I took a razor and tried to do it myself. It also took scissors and cut different lengths. Then I got stupid and got an electric shaver, and bam im missing a chunk of hair on one side, just because I had been cutting my hair with my right hand so my left side was longer then the right. I told all of my friends, and the chunk wasnt that noticeable with the help of gel, but they all didn`t believe me. There`s still a chunk missing, about a month later, but oh well. I was trying to grow it out, but now that I know how to fix some of the problems I have been having with it I think I will get it cut ...and buy a professional this time. :)

In late january , I got drunk with my boy friend, and I went to sit in the bath room, and he wanted to cut my hair, so I freaked out at first but then let him, I put my hair in a pony tail. And wack! He cut my long blonde hair chin len-, a few nights latter, I wanted him to even it out, and it ended up being cut more 2 in, shorter, and the next morn I went to my stylest and she evened it out for me. That was 6 months ago, my hair still hasnt recovered/ its almost to my sholders. But all in all, it was a good thing/ I got rid of split ends, lol

when I was 16 I had a friend who was a cosmotology major in college (my sis` friend actually) and she begged me to let her cut my hair. I decided that it was cheaper than going to a salon and she was technically just as qualified so I let her trim and layer my hair. BIG MISTAKE!! she ruined my waistlength blond hair ,by cutting too much off the first layer. Then when I finally told my mom and beged her to take me to the salon the the hairdresser told me she`d have to cut up to the first layer in order to even it out. Its taken me three years to grow in back. Oh and im 18 and my name is (duh) kat.
Not a friend, but I have cut my own hair several times. Actually, I have always had fairly long hair and hate short hair, but about 3 years ago my hair was getting pretty long and I didn`t trust anyone to cut it, usually because it ended up too short and I wouldn`t like it. So I cut it myself with clippers. So I start cutting, mainly trimming, and I kept going and ended up clippering the back and about two hours later ended up with a cut where it was less than an inch all over. It was cool to have a new style but I grew my hair out again within a year and no longer even trust myself with my hair, probably why it is so long now.

I would never trust any of my friends with the all important task of cutting my hair (LOL). I also don`t think I could trust myself to cut any of my friends hair, I`d feel SO bad if I messed it up! LOL! :|:D:|
heloo..i happened to stumble into this board by mistake and find ur qn very interesting..hmm.. i have cut my mom`s, sis, bro`s, aunt`s, cuzzin`s hair. actually, juz 2 days ago, i cut my fren`s hair. she told me tt she wanted a cut so i convinced her tt i can cut her since since i took hairdressing courses early this yr. and i only charge her $5. tt is considered cheap enuf. so, tt evening, i went to her house and told me the style she wanted. she had shoulder-length hair and wanted a diff style. i made a MISTAKE and cut a layered bob for her. It turned out to be nice (self-compliment...hehe). My fren was also quite picky so every now and then she`ll tell me this and that...I`m glad tt she`s happy wif the hairstyle and then, her mom popped into the room....and wanted a trim! Since her hair was short, the whole process was quite a breeze..In the end, I earned $10. :) Now i`m thinking to cut my own hair but dun haf the courage to do so...i think i`ll still visit my favourite hairdressing salon...
by the way, i`m a girl (hehe), 17 and from singapore. i`m still in college and it`s the school holidays now!! ooooh...i hope my info here is sufficient enuf to help ur fren..good luck in writing the article!
i have 2 zany friends, Clare and Susannah, and one day at school (im from Sydney, Australia) they decided to cut each other`s hair. They asked the librarian for "the sharpest scissors you got" and went to the bathrooms. My friend Clare with LONG hair had ear-length hair, and susie who had mid-back blonde straight hair now had a bob on one side and a pixie on the other. I thought they both looked awful but of course i didn`t say anything. DONT let a friend cut your hair, especially if they are jealous of you/hate you/are REALLY unco with scissors etc

When I was younger I would cut my own hair and some of my friends. Now I cut my wife`s and she cuts mine. I would cut my own because I had a "bad" experience when I was very little with a barber and never felt comfortable since then. When I told my friends that I did my own hair they wanted me to do theirs. I don`t know why - I think it was mainly a way to save money and was more convenient.
I remember when I was a sophmore in highschool, which had to be around 1997, so I was 15 yrs old, I had my mom cut my long thick hair to the middle of my back a little below the bra line since, I was tired of it being long. After a while I wanted it even shorter, so instead of hassling my mom to cut it for me again and being to cheap to go to a salon, I chose to cut my hair myself. I grabbed all myhair pulled it to the side, grabbed the scissors and snipped 3-4 inches off. What a mistake! it was so uneven that it looked like a staircase. On my right side my hair was above my bra line and got shorter and shorter the shortest being slightly below my shoulders on my left side. I panicked when I saw my hair because the next day I had to go to a graduation party for my cousin. I didn`t want to go to her party with crooked hair. I told my mom what happened and asked her if she could even it out for me; she refused to do it, so I had to go to my cousin`s party with crooked hair. Since then I have never cut my own hair, only when I have to trim the ends.

I need some help (actually my friend does). I am helping her write an article for her high school newspaper and we need stories about times people have let a friend cut their hair, cut their own, or cut someone elses.
If you have ever done any of these, please, pleas BOLT NOTE me! Tell me all about it... What did you do? Why did you do it? Whose idea was it to do? How did it go? How much did you cut off? Do you want to cut your hair now? Please just tell me as many details as you can remember!
And please BOLT NOTE me... it is so much better that way! Oh and please tell me a little bit about yourself (how old you are, name, etc)
