Ok so every 6 mo. I have my mid-back length hair trimmed. Not much, just 1-1.5 in. so that the length will be roughly maintained throughout the course of the year. Being the beginning of summer, I decided to get a little more off and go for 2 in. I thought I wouldn`t look much different and that it would be a little more manageable for my hot, active summer. So I went to have it done and they took off atleast *4* in. Double the amount. I measured. Now my hair is only 3-4 in. below the shoulder! After the cut, they said, "Oh, good length" and I just meekly nodded. I`m really angered because I have special event soon. I thought the trim would even my hair out so it would look neat for the event. So here I am getting used to the new look. I guess I won`t ask the same person for 2 in. off again, even in preperation for the summer. :`( Thanks for listening, just had to share my story. |

Make sure whomever cuts your hair next time uses a ruler... I`m from Cali, and stylists do it here. They are never supposed to just eye it, if you tell them a specific measurement. ------------- There is more to life than hair...Come on---Go get a life!!!!!!! |

Help me out here. I have heard horror story after horror story about women who go into a salon, hate their haircut, suck it up, don`t complain and even return to the same salon a couple months later. Of course the person who cut your hair is going to say something like "oh, nice length" in order to save face. If you don`t like it, why not tell them? And for heaven`s sake, I hope you`re not going to make the same "mistake" twice by returning to the same place. Hopefully stories like this will serve as an example for others. ------------- |

gord, have you ever hear the phrase: "if you don`t have something nice to say, don`t say anything at all?" instead of attacking people, why not offer some helpful advice! ------------- -Kera aka princess of the air force (they just don`t know it yet) |

What a one-track mind you have. Read my post again. It`s full of helpful advice. Are you a hair stylist? Why so defensive? I stand by what I wrote. All of it. ------------- |
