Hair cut from hell

You can’t trust some hair dressers; I don’t understand why they always feel the need to go crazy with the scissors! This happened to my mom recently, she went in for a cut to get rid of the ends that were damaged and they almost cut all her hair off....I don’t trust most hair dressers to be honest, it’s like they are just waiting for someone with long beautiful hair to walk in so they can practice using their scissors.

I SOOOOO had a similar experience.  My husband and I had recently gotten married (it was approx 1986) when BIG hair was the style.  I had very long hair and it was always in it's big AquaNet style.  My husband LOVED my hair long (back then), we were at the mall and he was looking in sporting good stores and music shops etc.  I said, I am going to run in this salon and get my hair trimmed and shaped up while you shop for your guy stuff. 
I go in the salon and a foreign woman is assigned to me as my stylist.  I tell her that I wanted an inch or two off my hair all over and shaped up with layers and such. 
She turns the chair around from the mirror and tells me that is what she prefers to do because she has some "signature" styles that the clients love to be surprised with.  I am like "cool".....
As she is cutting, I never see much hair falling on the cape to determine how much is coming off and most of the hair is being held away from my back while being cut.  She turns my chair around and I have a haircut that was about an inch below my neckline. 
I got sooooo mad and started to cry uncontrollably.  My hair looked good on me but HOW was I going to have big hair with short hair?? 
I didn't have to pay for my haircut because the manager was upset that I was crying.

I now have to roam the mall and find my new husband who is NOT expecting to see me with short hair.  He hugged me and told me I was beautiful and that he liked it (he really did).

Now...flash forward to 2011....see my latest post on the Short Hair blog.  YIKES.  I now have a stylist that wont cut my darn hair short !!!!  (pics posted)
