What a nightmare! Here's a tip, do like Elaine from Seinfeld did in the limo, pretend you're going deaf - but don't get caught "hearing" like she did!!! I stopped going to hairdressers years ago. I don't have the patience to sit there with that fake smile, nodding and "uh-huh-ing"...I dye my own hair and cut it too. Alex usually has to even out the back for me though. I cut his hair too. Once you get used to it and have the right scissors, it's pretty easy.Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-78415191949489479612020-08-14T13:57:49.612-04:002020-08-14T13:57:49.612-04:00I wish I could take my head off and cut it myself....I wish I could take my head off and cut it myself...says an ex- hairstylist. Worst experience was getting a perm on my long hair before my 25th school reunion (15yrs ago) that ended up melting onto the perm rods! Ended up with manly short frizzz. Now that was a nightmare! Have never reallly had a great haircut even though I was a stylist for 17 yrs and still cringe every time I have to get a cut.Cchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00779068827397147198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-9251820332073723062020-08-14T08:27:08.128-04:002020-08-14T08:27:08.128-04:00I feel for you but I can't relate.

It has now been 5 months since I have been there, and I think I am going to continue to let mine grow for a while longer, since I am trying to grow out layers anyway. You realize, that things could be worse, you could have attempted to cut your own. I tried that on my bangs, and don't recommend it. But a month afterward, and they are even starting to look okay. Eventually it all grows out, right?Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01769556455551856486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-32989274107101553112020-08-13T21:38:50.538-04:002020-08-13T21:38:50.538-04:00And to think, I have an appointment the 25th for a...And to think, I have an appointment the 25th for a perm. Hope I don't regret doing it. I pay, to have thick frizzy hair. :) It's awful to come home from the hairdresser with a bad hair cut, or a bad perm. I've been through it many times.

I don't go often--this was the first time in years, and I doubt I'll go back to another anytime in the next ten years or so. I do much better to just cut it myself.

I've shed hot tears over cuts, once I got home, of course. Never once brave enough to say "stop!" mid-stream. I mostly do it myself now, with a biannual cut just to make it look less home-made, haha!! She's brilliant, Japanese and 4 minutes walk from my flat. She's so fast, she can do a wash cut and blow dry on me in 40 minutes! That'd win gold for speed in any hairdressing Olympics. Bite the bullet and get a pair of hairdressing scissors on the internet. That's one good thing about long hair, it being possible to cut it yourself. Stand in front of your bathroom mirror with your hair parted down the centre back and just comb little bits of hair, wet or dry, forward of your face or up above your head and snip a bit. Alternate side to side to make sure each corresponding bit is even in length. Keep checking with another mirror and snip off bits that are looking wrong. Before you know it, you'll have had a free haircut!Pipistrellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904613196101010022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-41050996440190232342020-08-12T18:29:30.670-04:002020-08-12T18:29:30.670-04:00I have had past amen's.

I have drifted away from him a couple of times but back I come. He is in his 70s, well into his 70s. He has a salon at the top of Bath where you sit looking down over the famous Milsom St. He did my bridal hair, my sister’s and my niece’s. Lockdown has made him retire from his salon but fortunately he is continuing to do his loyal clients at their homes. So the week after next he is coming to do mine at home 18 miles from Bath. Bless him!<br />Would you like me to ask if he will do yours? 😂Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013731736768963395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-51214441900346907202020-08-12T16:37:04.985-04:002020-08-12T16:37:04.985-04:00I am sorry about your bad experience.

My oldest daughter is a colorist so my color always is great. I guess I have been lucky. I know my daughter has told me about some real horror stories of ladies coming to her with really bad colored hair to be fixed and how many hours and times they have to come in to fix it. There are some real bad hairdressers out there unfortunately. I hope you can find someone to fix it. Good Luck.

Don't even consider a blow dry, even in the middle of winter. I haven't been cut since February 11 -- yikes. That IS six months. I've been cutting my own, sort of. Ordered a kit on Amazon (it even came with a cute little cape, two pairs of scissors, a razor thing, combs, clips...) I'm handling the front and top pretty well but the back? I just hold it out and try to cut only a little bit at a time in case I totally screw it up. I color -- but haven't so now I have two inches of white which I cover up with this powder. I just ordered some temporary color my cousin recommended and this should be interesting, since I can't see the back, but at least I can try it front and top. It's too weird. I feel what you're goign for. I can be the crazy retired lady (I initially wrote that retread lady, which is probably more accurate), but you have to work.... <br /><br />I DO hate a bad haircut. Any chance your husband or daughter could even out the triangle? From your description, it doesn't sound like they could make it worse.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-30307537152256281262020-08-12T13:09:59.149-04:002020-08-12T13:09:59.149-04:00Nothing is worse than living with a bad cut.

After each cut, I make modifications. I blend long layers and chip the ends. This tames course thick hair. Then I re-angle the sides. I've learned with my hair a blunt cut never works, yet hairdressers like the blunt cut. Youtube videos will show you how to blend,chip and re-angle hair. Just start cutting lightly. If you like the result you can cut more. In COVID times these skills come in handy. Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473063249106111719noreply@blogger.com
