I cut my hair a few months ago. It was quite long, at least 6 inches past my shoulders. I needed a change. My hairstylist cut it just to my shoulders, straight across the bottom and fairly blunt. I was happy with it. Last month i thought i would get it a little more styled, so i brought in a picture of Gwyneth Paltrow and her new do. she cut off her famous locks into an above the shoulder bob that is shorter in the back and gets longer in the front. Fairly simple, right? Well, after the first cut, i wasn't too happy because it didn't angle down to the front, meaning it wasn't longer in the front and shorter in the back. it was just straight across again but shorter. anyhoo, i couldn't understand how the concept could get lost in translation, but, hair grows right?
A few weeks back I made another visit to my stylist to get rid off all my white hair, or the skunk head as i call it , and thought, maybe if i show him another picture of Gwyneth, that shows more of the angle of her hair, he would get it right. I still had some hair to work with! But it ended up looking exactly the same. no angle. straight and shorter! i was so upset! how could you really get that wrong!! I left very unhappy but by the time i got home i felt awful for making my hair stylist feel awful. the relationship between stylist and client is a very important one and i've been seeing him for over 10 years - he knows all my secrets! So, I sent him an email apologizing and asking for a trim because the right side was visibly longer than the left! Perhaps i had my head tilted to the left when he cut it!
anyway this all leads to me getting that trim last night and i have to report that it is now a smidgen longer on the left than on the right, and really short! I miss my long hair! Would it be a betrayal if i went to someone else?? Would i be cheating on him? what to do!! i just want my hair to be even on the bottom, is that too much to ask?? and while i'm at, can i get my hair back??
I guess i really have no amusing way to end this sad tale of hair loss, except that it's past 1am and I came downstairs to get some scissors to attempt to trim off that smidgen and had forgot that i was recharging my nano. so i guess the hair drama served a purpose as i wont' leave the computer on all night now!

Hi Bitter,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Gwyenth Paltrow's haircut but I hope your bangs are not cut straight across your forehead. You can look like a china doll! But don't fret...hair grows back.
I'm going for my cut and color tomorrow. Hopefully I'll have a better experience.
