I'm so pissed and I'm going OCD-crazy. I got my hair cut last week, and I ended up spending more than I had planned to originally because the lady talked me into getting some special smoothing treatment and wash. It was a little low-budget chain place in town, but it was kind of pricey anyway (go figure). I had told my mother I didn't trust places like that but she insisted that they weren't going to mess up a simple trim (which was all I initially wanted, but I told the lady to cut more hair off anyway).
Wrong. Dead wrong. When she was done blow-drying my hair it looked great in the mirror. Even, shiny, smooth. But this past week it's just seemed off somehow. My sister and mother kept reassuring me it was even, and I figured it must seem off because I was parting my hair on the side and the lady had cut it with the part down the middle.
Today, out of a nagging feeling it just wasn't right, I parted my hair in the middle and compared the sides. The left is way shorter than the right, and the back of the left is longer than the front of it. Gah! I spent a bit of money on it and they screwed it up!
I'm not going back to have them fix it for free because I don't trust them now for sure. I'll go to a truly professional, independent place instead. I just hope they can get a simple trim right!
Getting my hair cut always makes me nervous, not because of the small talk but because of the fear they'll screw it up and I'll have to be assertive with them, or because I'm afraid they'll take advantage of me somehow and make me pay more. I wish I could just cut my own hair.
All of this was the long way of saying a hairdresser @#$%ed up my hair a week ago. This was probably the most #firstworldproblems-ish post ever, I know. It's just that it's driving me bonkers and I'm really pissed I spent so much only for it to be uneven :sad:
