Re: Haircut Nightmare

Love to read · ‎03-15-2010

About 18 months ago I moved after having lived in the same town for 30 years. I have curly silver hair that I keep failry short and I had a marvelous hairdresser that I'd gone to since she got out of beauty school, probably about 15 years. Curly hair can be a nightmare to cut if you don't have the knack and, before I found Jenny, I'd been subject to a few terrible hair cuts so, when I moved, I was afraid I'd end up going through that dreadful process again. I knew no one in our new town and none of the women with whom I work have hair at all like mine. Finally, in desperation, I want to a Super Cuts near my home because my hair was getting unmanageably long. Seriously, I prayed before I went, and got hooked up with a young woman who can cut my hair beautifully. She has just left the Super Cuts chain and now has her own chair in a nice salon. Sometimes things really do work out.

It would have made a fabulous coffee table book. Might even have given hope to millions of women everywhere. ("And I thought I looked ridiculous! Check her out!")

@just bee...You provided a much needed laugh for me today! Just had to let you know.

I recently had posted a thread on my stylist leaving the salon. Well, I tried someone different at the salon -- BIG MISTAKE. I don't understand why the owner would let this person cut short hair if she does not know what she is doing. This is the worse haircut I have experienced in over 40 years! She did not know how to cut around the ears nor check to see if they were both the same or close to it. I was such a fool to pay for it and give her a tip. I just wanted to get out of there. Never again but now I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks to grow out. I will drive 20 miles to go back to the stylist that left the salon for a new salon Another live and learn experience. You are never too old to learn a lesson!

Oh how I feel your pain. Last September I received my worst haircut from the new owner's sister. It took me awhile to find a new salon and more than 6 months for the random "layers" to grow out.

I totally understand. Please consider talking to the manager (keeping it calm of course) to Discuss your disappointment, and maybe help the next person!

I gave up long ago on stylists. I have difficult hair and was disappointed for years. So I educated myself, let it grow a bit and now I cut it myself into a basic cut. I’m so much happier. 🤓

At least it’s summer now and your hair should grow back faster...
