I also had mty hair cut yesterday! I just blogged about it. I hate them because my head shakes. I hate them doing stuff close to my head and like it when they're working on the long bits at the back.
I was also going to get dreads as I HATE going to the dresser! Plus I think dreads rock
Stupid shaky head. I wonder what they think when it happens?

My sister is a hairdresser, and she can talk anyone's ear off (we are complete opposites needless to say!) really just let them do all the talking and just nod your head and agree with them occasionally

I need my hair cut, it grows fast. I cut it myself last time, just to keep it at bay, and it's kinda obvious I did it myself. I don't want the hairdresser to ask why its so uneven at the back....
I'll have to go soon though, the weathers getting better which means no more waiting for rain to wear my hooded coat. Maybe I could get someone to come up... I'll check the yellow pages. A neighbour used to do it, but she moved.
Last time I went out for one was when I was 12. She said my hair shouldn't be in my face and cut all the hair at the front as one big weird frindge (I cried lol). And I always cut my own frindge, or they'll come right up to my face to do it 'cringe'. But it looks stupid right now, it comes down to my nose lol, so I put it to the sides. I'd love do have some colour in it, like highlights at the front, but thats impossible.

I was lucky my sister did mine being a hairdresser but now i have moved i get a mobile hairdresser, she comes to my house and gives me a trim, it does not take long usually 30 mins and she is gone. saves going into a shopping centre and sitting in the salon with lots of other people.
I die my own hair and highlight it, there are lots of hair products that die and you can highlight your own hair with a wand, maybe Loreal or something like that, hopefully they have where you live just look at chemists or local shops, it works pretty well and does not look dodgy at all :wink:
btw used to cut my own hair, just the ends so i didnt have to get it cut at hairdressers but it looked a bit wonky, went to the hairdresser and was embarrased but she just gave me a friendly smile, a tiny lecture about cutting my own hair and that was about all that was said.

Thanks alwaysbeenshy and roxy. I'm glad I'm not the only one who does it. My hair just comes to my elbows now, I cut it yesterday, by bringing it over my shoulders. Still a bit funny, but way better.
Thanks for the idea of home colour, it's scary though.. eeek! Just picturing it turning green lol. I'll go online and look at kits for highlighting, I can practice with a few strands first. I think some reddish/brown at the front bits of my hair would be really nice, just to break up the darkness.
My mum said I should try the one for OAP's (old age pensioners) if I'm that anxious.
And I'm thinking about it... 8O I would be more comfortable, and anyone can go... but only if the mobile hairdresser dosen't work out.

As for me, i love having my hair cut and what not but I hate making the appointment and never know how to say what i want done so i just say 'whatever i dont care' , and then i hate when they try to make conversation with me, i just sit there silent and practically fall asleep and then at the end of my haircut my hair looks ok but then my face looks llike im on drugs and havnt slept for weeks and i worry what people are thinking.. Especially since i have a hair dresser friend right, i went to her work to get my haircut and she told me later that the owner and another worker were saying that i look like a heroin addict wtf F**K YOU..
And another time i went to the hairdressers to get my hair done for NY (another stroy in its own) and i told her i wasnt sure what i wanted and she was like 'ok well i'll just start playin with it and if you dont like it we can change it', and when i finally got up the guts to say i didnt like it she's like 'well i cant change it now!! you should have told me you didnt want it like that, i cant start over' totally made me feel like a f*head and me hair looked like shit and there was nothin i could do, i was so upset - and the rest of the night worried that ppl were laughing at my hair!!

I'm not the only one? I thought I was the only one.
I'm terrified of getting my haircut. I've been through about 3 local barbers and can't bring myself to go back to any of them.
As a result my hair is in desperate need of a cut.
