I had an awful haircut, by a hairdresser where I now live, 9 months ago. It was far too short for my face and made me look ancient. The hairdresser also took a huge chunk of hair out just behind my ear which was really noticable. I finally got it to a length where I could pin it back to hide the missing chunk and was thinking of having it trimmed to enable it to grow into a bob. My husband doesn't like long hair and has been on at me to have it cut so I chose a hairstyle which would have left me a nice shape with some length on top and would have grown back to a bob length in time for our big anniversary next December. The hairdresser agreed having seen the photo of the style I wanted.
I now have hair less than an inch all over, with a snowballs chance of looking nice. It has left me looking old and haggard, having to wear a buff as well as a hat to keep my head and neck warm. Indoors and out. I swore last time that I would go to my old hairdresser 5 hours drive away. I am definitely not going to another hairdresser here. I'm considering a wig as I have two events coming up in the next few weeks and I really don't want to wear a hat or bandana. I feel like cancelling both but have been looking forward to one event for nearly a year now and the other just short of 6 months.
I have tried at least 8 different hairdressers since moving here and during a recent discussion found that several ladies have taken to cutting their own hair or having it done when they are away on holiday.
