SHE CUT MY HAIR OFF!!

Ok, yesterday I went in to Fantastic Sam's, thinking I was going to go about 2-3 inches shorter (or whatever that would be, I wanted it just below my shoulders) ..Well, guess what. The lady completely chopped my hair off.

Here was my hair a couple weeks ago; it was brown, but that's just so you get an idea of the length it was yesterday (before the cut)*Picture*

I picked out a picture in a book while I was there but told her "I don't want it this short, I want it at least to my shoulders!" ..My hair is about an inch maybe 1½ above my shoulders. It looks absolutely horrible. While she started cutting, I about cried, then felt like I was going to pass out. My sister was getting her's cut too, and she started laughing, but I think it was just in disbelief. Then afterword, the lady said "Well, if it makes you feel any better, it needed to be cut, it was way over processed."  

I know this might sound stupid, but I'd rather have dry, over processed hair than look stupid with all my hair chopped off. She was also suppose to do layers and once she was just finished cutting it completely around, I told her to stop.

Honest to god, so far, everytime I look in the mirror I cry or about break down. I know this sounds stupid, but I look awful. I can hardly even put it in a ponytail without some of it falling out. The only way it will stay up is if it has mousse and it's completely dry. ..I'm so pissed. I guess there isn't something that will make my hair grow faster I suppose?  Anyone know how long hair takes to grow?

I feel really sorry for you; all I can say is that I hope your hair grows fast and that you can find a way to wear it at the moment that makes you feel confident and happy.  You have a really pretty face so I'm sure that no haircut could make you look bad.  It must be a shock getting used to the change, though.  Take care.

 

p.s. hope you didn't pay for it!

Thanks guys. I know I shouldn't have went there, but my sister was going and I was in desprate need of something. Not for all my hair to be chopped off though. It looks as if I fell asleep first at a party, this being my punishment .. and someone there did this. It's horrible. (And I paid for it.) I could just imagine me refusing and her saying "WELL THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED." and causing a bigger scene. Everyone was already looking at me because I was freaking out.. She wasn't too nice to begin with.

I'm just glad I have a little support here. Oh, I was wondering also, is there any shampoos & conditioners any of you would reccomend that makes your hair either look or feel healthy? Would 'J. Michaels Salon' be one of those places not to go to also? I seems as more of a respectable place, I just don't have tons of choices.

I went to a cheap place too for layers. I have layers put in all the time so i figured it was no biggie. She cut them way too short, and it was nearly impossible to deal with! My hiar is wavy, so I had to really work with it to keep it from sticking straight out of my head. Now, a month later, the layers are growing out and look much better. In another month or so, the lenght will be perfect. Live and learn I guess. And no more cheap salons. This time I promise!

Oh my God That happened to me too, my hair was almost to my waist. I told the lady that i wanted it layers and shoulder length, She cut cut cut and cut, I was stupid cause i didn't tell her to stop so she kept snipping. I wanted to cry so bad also. When I got home I cried and Cried. And I promised to  myself never to cut it that short again, It looked almost like a mullet (yuck)........

 

Have you tried hair extensions?

I am a male having full length long hair up to my waist. Last week i went for shaving and oil massage. The hair dresser insisted that i cut my hair as it was very feminine to have long hair. Instead of doing what they were told to do they were giving advices to me on the length of hair for men and women/
