Message: <blockquote data-quote="GraceK" data-source="post: 341776" data-attributes="member: 47233">This isn't a rant about diabetes, it's a rant about hairdressers who do what they like with MY hair and why having a hairdresser we can trust is essential.Basically, my hair is a mess and so I feel a mess too.  Why is my hair a mess?  Well it wasn't a mess. I have a good, plentiful, head of hair, or at least I did have.I'd been patiently growing it into a short bob for several months.  It was nice and thick and bouncy and I was really pleased with the way it looked and felt.  But as it started growing out I went to the hairdressers basically for a trim to just keep it in shape and that's what I asked for.But my hairdresser had other ideas and I discovered, to my detriment, that she had quite a domineering streak.  She'd cut my hair about 6 times in total and I had no complaints.  But she did ask 1001 questions about what I wanted before she picked the scissors up and there were a couple of times when I thought she'd never stop snipping, she seemed to be too much of a perfectionist at times and as a result my hair ended up shorter than I would like, but generally still a good cut.Now my hair tends to fall into its own comfortable way, it doesn't like being parted, stretched, teased or tweaked into shapes that don't suit my head and that irked her a wee bit as time went on and it was clear she wanted me to have 'a style' and despite me refusing lacquer every time, she still sprayed it over me.  So on the last visit, although she wasn't busy, I felt she was a bit hyped up for some reason, I got the 1001 questions about 'how did I want it'.  To which I replied "Just as it is now, but neatened up really."  She looked puzzled and kept saying "But do you want layers in it?"  I said "I want it exactly as it is now, but neaten the straggly bits off, a trim basically."  She replied "Yes, but do you WANT layers?"I honestly didn't know what she wanted me to say, because as far as I was concerned she could see my hair, see whether it was layered or not and could understand my simple instructions.  So I said "No, I don't want layers."  She said "Well what DO you want then?"  So I told her again.She picked up the scissors and began snipping and talking non stop and it became apparent she was layering it and it was too late to say STOP!  She then began fiddling with the front and said something that made me decide "Right Madam, this is the very last you'll see of me here, or any of my friends for that matter."  As she snipped the front of my hair she said "I know you don't LIKE it swept over to the side but THAT'S the way I'm doing it anyway." and proceeded to snip, snip, snip to her heart's content.  I was amazed at that comment and she's lucky I didn't smack her in the chops to be honest.The result?  A hairstyle I can't stand and that doesn't suit me, I wake up every morning with bits sticking up all over the place, it's layered and thinned out far too much that I feel I've lost half my hair.The hairdresser herself has very poor, thin, weak, wispy, hair and I find myself wondering now whether she also has a very jealous and vindictive streak to go with it and whether she was actually so jealous of my lovely head of hair that she couldn't stop herself from ruining it.So I'm on the lookout for another hairdresser and I'm hexing the old one, I hope she loses every customer she has!Anyone else had an encounter with a psycho hairdresser?   :roll:</blockquote>
