Hair dos

Okay. So. Today, I decided that I wanted to cut my hair short again. As I've had it short many times, and prefer it to long, as it was. Now, I'm not overly worried about my appearance, over the years I've had every colour under the sun, and many different hair styles, including a mowhawk.

What bothered me about this, was that I always bring pictures, and go into a TON of detail whenever it's someone new cutting my hair. I always make sure I try the best to get across what I'm going for. Apparently, this didn't work this time.

I went to a salon I had heard good things about, expecting to get a good service since it was a higher end salon. The guy I got was nice. No doubt about that. But he didn't LISTEN. Which, in my opinion, is the MOST important attribute to a good hairstylist. I wanted a choppy edgy pixie cut. I described it and told him how I'd had it cut in the past and how I like it. And yet, he first, cut it WAY to short in the back and WAY too long on the top. So I looked like a twelve year old boy with a bowl cut. Yeah. I just about CRIED. He saw I was upset, and did try to fix it a bit. But I was so dissapointed! That I could have sucha BAD experience at a hair place. Especially a higher end salon! Usually I just go to Magicuts or some place. So it was frustrating that I got a bad stylist there, and always have had good service at Magicuts or other cheap places.

I cried when I got home. Is that weird? My boyfriend told me I was crazy and overreacting. I told him I just wanted him to tell me I was still pretty. =P Though, luckily for me, my hair grows pretty fast. So I'll only have to live with this for a month before it's long enough to get it fixed. (My sister LOVES her hairstylist. Apparently what she loves about her is that she listens really well. So I'ma try her next.)

So have you guys ever had this happen? A really bad experience at a hair salon?
