Thanks you guys, somehow I do feel better......but am an IDIOT as I did pay for it....no tip, but I payed for the cut. I don't know where to go for shape-ups through this....I thought if I picked a stylist that has "long" hair she wouldn't flip-out and try to keep me in this old bobbed cut. Is there a way I can just leave it alone with no trims at all and still look OK??
I had it kind of stacked in the back at the nape and a few layers through the sides and top......she's the one that told me to wait it out for 10 weeks to make some headway on the growth....she probably just wanted to ca$h me out in the meantime. Dave......should I just leave it alone and let it grow? I absolutely wanted to punch her in the face I was so angry....that's psycho, I know but I swear to GOD I did want to. $$$ won't bring it back but I'm calling tomorrow to speak to the Manager.....I want my money back......then I want to just leave it alone. I don't care if I start looking like a puff-ball, I want the hair you guys have!

That's very sad, JB521. I've been there myself. At the start of my quest to grow out my hair. I went back to the salon, asked him why he chopped. "Because that's how you always want it" and "it was too bushy in back." Bear in mind, I was very clear in my instructions, and he acknowledged them, before the cut began.
I stayed away from salons for almost a year, then nervously went into one that specialized in long hair. I consider myself lucky that one existed where I lived at the time.
My hair eventually grew out, though. Just took a half a year longer than originally hoped. Chin up, stay away from salons, and by the end of the year, things will be better.

God hairdressers suck dont worry we've all been through the same kinda thing their a bunch of bitches arnt they!! last time I went to the hairdresser only got a color no cut thank god but they couldnt even do that right I wanted blonde streaks and ended up with bright orange ones like Im not gonna notice shes tried to put toner over the top then she tried to blow dry it patheticly so I took the blow dryer off her and dried it myself must have lookd so funny.... I went to pay and said all your getting is $50 and started to go off my head they were trying to charge $190 for the color and streaks in the end he said he didnt want my money and to come back after and get them to fix it there was no way I was going back there so I payed them nothing and I ended up going to another salon and getting it fixed ..I despise hairdresser's .

What happened to you, JB, is outrageous and inexcusable!! I hope you refused to pay her. The only consolation is that you learned a valuable lesson while your hair was only getting moderately long. I've known women who have had hackers "trim" loads of length, one 16" (!), when she asked for a 2" off. If you haven't confronted this careless incompetent, I hope you can gather the nerve to tell her in person how unhappy you are, and that you will tell all your friends to avoid her. IF you ever go back to a salon, bring a friend, and the minute you cease to be the stylist's *total* focus, walk out. Even in the midst of a cut! Set the groundrules in advance.
Now, think positive, and remind yourself that you can take measures to assure that this will never happen again. Blessings, Bob

So I finally decided to grow out my hair from a bob to long, long, long. Realizing it requires commitment and perseverance.....I married myself to the idea, went to the salon, told my stylist of my intentions and she informed to only clip ends every 8-10 weeks (just the tippy tip). I get through the first 10 weeks, go in, she only nips the very ends.....it looked great as if I was all shaped up and ready to wait it out again.
I go in today, have no idea where her head was.....trusted her, she kept taking phone calls and kept CUTTING. I had no IDEA until a piece fell in front of me that I was bing HACKED!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! ALL I have done in the last 20 weeks is un flippin DONE! I am so angry right now I cannot even talk. I probably need to calm myself and add to this in the morning. I am beyond pissed OFF!
