I have all kinds of health issues and I feel not very good most of the time, including a low-grade headache that just WON'T go away. I coud go on and on about my symptoms but you get the idea.

 

On top of alll that--as if I didn't feel bad enough--I'm now living with THE WORST HAIRCUT I've had in my entire life!!!! I feel awful and now I LOOK awful.

This gal has been cutting my hair for close to 20 years and in all fairness I have to say this is the first time this has happened. I don't think it's her fault; it's just that for some reason my hair isn't happy with this cut.

I think I'm going to go back, talk it over with her, and have her cut my hair really short and start all over again.

What have I done to deserve this?

 I'm sorry you feel poorly and hope you feel better soon. I think at one time or another we've all had a bad hair cut. Maybe she can fix.

Many years ago, before my Thursday tennis game,I had some time to kill so I went to one of those no-appointment-necessary hair salons. OMG! I was scalped. Well, that was just on one side. I went to my tennis game and my friends were shocked. I explained. I also learned my lesson. I too have chronic health issues but that haircut made me SICK!

One good thing about a bad haircut, it will soon grow out and be gone and you can start over with a better cut.  Maybe this one will look better when it grows out a little.

Your title doesn't come close to your message.  Huh?

I think she was speaking for her dog who went to the groomer and got a bad grooming.  I think.

I'm sorry to hear that you have not been feeling well.  The the icing on the cake is to feel lousy about your apperance.  When we feel that we don't look as well as we could it just makes us feel worse.  I think you should talk it over with your stylist and get another cut.

 

However before you get it cut really short, have you ever had really short hair?  Did it look good on you?  It's not for everyone and you might hate it even more.  I for one, can't wear really short hair.  It just doesn't look good on me. 

 

I would think this over carefully before proceeding unless you know it will look good and lift your spirits rather than bring it down further.

Oh, yes, I have had a short haircut and it looked very nice, so I'm not too worried.

 

I have a lot of hair and it grows (i.e., out of shape) really fast. Also, I'm getting older and so is my hair--I think that might be part of the reason it didn't respond to this cut.

I've gone to the same person for over 25 years and she doesn't always cut my hair right.   

 

I end up sometimes having to trim it myself because I don't have time to go back.   Ironically, she's raised her prices and gives me bad cuts sometimes.

 

The way my hair responds in the salon isn't how it responds at home.  For me she gets one side in front right and not the other.   It's weird.  I've learned how to clean it up, but it still stinks.  

 

Sometimes I think they like more of a challenge.  The only reason I stay with her is because my hair is thinning and she is gentle with it.  I also get a stain from her that I'm not sure other hair stylists do.   She's also patient with my fussiness even if she doesn't always produce.

You're not reading the title in the right tone; read it as if you are highly disgruntled, with stong emphasis on the last word.
