As a stylist,I would like to hear,and learn more about peoples concern about their hair.
I know there are other things that are more important than hair,but gosh darn it.
Let`s have a little fun...
So loosen up and just let it all out...
WHAT WAS YOUR WORST EXPERIENCE?
I`ll start!
I bought a frosting kit from a drugstore,but my hair was way too short,to do that.So my hair was all patches of chicken yellow color cause my hair was also black.And black is very hard to turned into blode.
So the next day,I went to school and everyone was throwing gummy bears on the back of my head
They said,it will give my hair some bounce...

Dude, give it time! You posted four messages in less then twenty four hours. Some messages last weeks before they are answered. Just take a chill pill & relax. Not everyone spends every waking minute on the internet. People need time to see it. I can`t but agree that you must be really desperate. I suggest just sitting back & waiting a few days. I`m sure someone will reply eventually.

ok I will bite.
When I was in Jr High spiral perms were in and i wanted one sssssooooo bad.
we were poor farm kids and used cheap shampoo -- with hard mineral water (Smelled like rotten eggs) -- so forget actually going to a salon...
Momma came home with a oglvie perm and decided to perm my mid back length, board straight hair...
1. perm rods were too small
2. perms and severe mineral build up on hair don`t mix
3. my stepdad insisted that I was not going out of the house with a wet head. (I was looking forward to mousse for that defined curl look of the 80s.) We didn`t have a blowdryer so I had to set my hair on brush rollers every night.
omg....the end result was orange, burnt hair that was a fluffy cotton ball mess...

My worst experience was when my mom and Aunt Margie decided they could save money if my Aunt gave me (7 at the time) a Toni perm at home. It turned out so horrible that I looked like Shirley Temple for months afterwards and was plumb miserable. All because Toni was one of the advertisers for the Miss America Pagent and my mom happened to see the TV show with that ad. I really hated looked so much like a giant curl head.

When I was starting out as a hairstylist
I was so ****y like I knew everything.
We`re talking about 7yrs ago,I believed that I could anything.
I went to an interview for a job,told the owner ,I was the best yada,yada,yada...
He ask me to cut a client and blowdry the hair.
IT TOOK ME FOREVER,AND WHEN I MEAN FOREVER ,WE`RE TALKING 3 - 4 HRS.
I did not get the job,but I learned not to talk too much unless,I know I can do the job.
She actually looked better before,Ha,ha,ha!

Heh well I`ve always worn my hair a bit longer than most men but I have big ears so I kinda use my hair to cover them up. I went to where I normally got my haircut it was a unisex salon and the stylist was just about to put the finishing touches on my haircut when she grabbed her trimmers to clean up the sides and back. She asked "sideburns or no sideburns" I said "Please save the sideburns" she must have heard "Shave the sideburns" and shave she did as she put the clippers at the top of my ear and pulled them down. I saw my sideburns fall off and my ear was fully exposed, plus the haircut looked like a mullett. I absolutely hated it...yes they grew back quickly but boy did I feel like a redneck walking out of that salon and thru the mall to my car. It`s been a good ten years but that is the reason I cut my own hair now...no worries of having to go thru the haircut horrors. Not to mention I`m pretty good at cutting hair since I`ve been doing it for over 10 years. I cut my wifes and my friends hair...they say i should goto school because I`m so good at doing haircuts but I make too much money at my current job...Lol

Hey Claude,
Great story. So why not go in the evenings to beauty school? No need to give up your day job...at least for the present. :-)

Heh call it fear...I dunno. I guess the thought of a guy doing hair at a salon or something I`m afraid of what some friends would think. I`m currently in pursuit of another dream. I do ok with the friends and my wife`s hair. Maybe someday who knows? For now I know enough on how to cut any hairstyle with the books and information i`ve acquired over the years. If I did goto school I`d probably look at opening a day spa or something. I like seeing people feel good about themselves. Never worked on afro hair though but I know if I went to beauty school I would learn.

Well - since you asked. . .
I usually get all over semi-permanent haircolors but one day my stylist suggested that because I have more gray hairs coming in on top, but not a lot on the sides or back, we could go with a permanent hair color just on top for better coverage. She swore she would match it to the semi-permanent color and I believed her. WRONG! I would up looking like a Duracel Coppertop Battery, I had brassy reddish hair on top and dark brown hair on sides and back. I was so upset, I wound up going back to her and she toned the top down some with a semi-permanent, which was somewhat better but still not what I wanted. I wound up letting the top grow back in.
I am again thinking about attempting permanent color - but this time ALL OVER. No wonder I am so chicken, though, after this experience.

YIKES!!! That certainly sounds like an awful experience. Why not let your natural hair color grow out? I personally think gray hair is not such a bad thing. Many women probably feel pressure from their friends to color their hair and cover their gray but it can look sophisticated and in most cases give nice contrast to someones hair.
