Have you ever had a really bad haircut? (rant) (page 3)

Thank my lucky stars it is long enough to put into a pony tail which I will be wearing for the next 6 months I'm sure.

What a nightmare.

As we get older we have so little that is really still nice and to be stripped of one more thing STINKS.

Oh yes, have I ever. It was a mullet with a perm in the very back part. It was the early 90's, and those cuts were popular.

Should have shaved my head. Instead, I lived with it for 9 months.

My deepest sympathy....been there done that. I had a lady wack the heck out of my hair so bad that I had to pin the top and the sides back to put in in a ponytail. To top it off, she kept the link to my mid back. It came down to a point.

I started driving 3 1/2 hrs to Seattle after that experience. Small towns don't always have the best stylists. I finally found someone local and LOVE what she does. Whew.

Take a deep breath. Hair does grow. Perhaps you should just shave it off and start your own story?

Thank goodness it will grow back. I'm in my forties too, and I'm ugly, and I've always had short hair, with quite a few bad cuts. It's really rough to be ugly and have a bad hair cut. At least you're not there. In any event, it will grow back. Sorry that happened.

I was in haircut hell when I was an elder. A brother (he had been an unbelieving mate for a long time but we finally wore him down and he got baptized) had a barber shop. Had several of us elders and MS over a barrel. He was not a good barber, he insisted on appointments, was always hinting for tips and he was not cheap. But if you showed up at the meeting with a fresh haircut that he had not given he would confront you and ask "who cut your hair?" Then he would pout until time for your next one and you went back to him. Then, while he cut your hair, he would gossip and try to pick your brain about confidential matters. I hated his fucking guts. One of the first things I did when I left the org. was to buy a Flowbee.

I can never understand that thing barbers do ...when they finish...they hold a mirror up to the back of your head and say..."is that ok?"....what if you said...."nah....it's too short....put some back on"

Oh yes, this happened to me right after I left the witnesses. I was super depressed and thought a new hairstyle would cheer me up. Went to a new, expensive to me, salon called Bananas. OK, this should have been a clue along with my hairstylist's super short, spiky do. But no, I did not heed the warning signs. I was young and foolhardy.

So I had beautiful, medium length, slightly layered hair. It was a little shaggy and I asked the stylist to give me more shape around my face. She said "OK, put your head down." She then snipped off all my hair up to my ears in one fell swoop. I was nervous but I thought "hey, a new beginning". She then proceeded to give me a boys haircut before I knew what was happening. I started to cry and she said, " I don't need this shit today, let me just finish the cut". One of the other stylists felt sorry for me and gave me a beer!

Being a meek exjw, I paid the bill. To be fair, I got many compliments on my hair. But I felt like a boy and it just wasn't me.

Now, I hardly ever get my hair cut. It looks horrible but I'm terrified after dozens of bad cuts.

wow what a monument to customer service - she actually said that to you? I wouldn't have paid the bill, although when I was younger, I suppose I would have. What a terrible experience.

How did you ever survive?

I just washed it and washed it to try and tone down the colour, and then just had to wait for it to grow - It wasn't long enough for a pony tail !

Brother Apostate

Restrangled,

I read this thread (perhaps the first one to read it?) but I did not reply.

Why?

I was ROTFLMAO at your story and description of what happened!

I didn't know if you were ready to hear that for your first reply- but I seriously got an image in my mind that I am still laughing about!

Seriously- if you could capture your thoughts that you had when you posted this originally- I believe you could be a successful stand-up comedian!

BA- Still crying tears of laughter!
