I got my hair cut today.
I went to the salon on base...the last time I went there the woman cut it too short, and it took me 2 months to grow it out. She's Korean, and her English isn't the greatest, so I attributed the bad cut to the language barrier.
This time I decided to take a picture in so she could see what I wanted. I asked her to not take it too short, said I really liked the length of it but wanted to lose some of the bulk. Mistake. She cut it...and cut it, and then cut some more. One side was drastically shorter than the other, and she was going to let me get up out of the chair like that until I asked her if she was going to even it out. She didn;t follow the picture I had sitting in my lap, she just got razor and scissor happy and hacked away.
Basically, I have the same bad haircut now that I did the last time I went to her. It seems that she knows how to do one short hairstyle...a 'pixie'. Any of you that are familiar with hairstyles will know what that looks like. It's short. Very short. I have a few little wispy bits around my ears and the back of my neck so I don't look completely masculine, but it's still uneven. I'm going to cut it myself later...there's no way in hell I'm going back to have her even it out. I'd come out of there balder than I am no!
So, I'm sporting a pixie, and I'm not very happy about it. I keep telling myself that it's only hair, that it will grow back - but my husband's coming home in 3 days and I'm stuck with this horrible haircut, and there's nothing I can do about it. It's not that it doesn't suit me, it's just not what I wanted.
Thank god for hats, that's all I can say!
