She Gave Me a Mullet !
I don't believe it ! What on earth was she thinking of??? My regular hairdresser is on holiday, so I let one of the other girls loose on my hair. BIG mistake. I've got long-ish, layered hair, which I'm trying to grow. Due to various work commitments I left it ten weeks between cuts and the ends got pretty raggy. So, I went to get them trimmed, and I told her to take off the dead ends but to leave as much of the length as possible. So she took a minimal amount off my lower layers, and took off progressively more as she went up my head. Its closer to a mullet than any haircut I have ever had before. Stupid stupid stupid girl.
OK, so they're cheap, but if they can't be trusted to follow even the most simple instructions I'm going elsewhere. But for now I've got to hope my hair grows back enough for me not to look like a complete tw@t on my holiday in three weeks time.
I hate loath and despise hairdressers

"Fully sympathise as I'm just getting over being mulleted in Xmas 2002 I was so traumatised that it took me ages to go back to a hairdresser.
What I did was go to another hairdresser and ask them what they could do. They ended up cutting it into a fairly short bob which although was initially a real shock, it was way better than the mullet. I then just left it to grow from there with an odd trim now and agin. Seriously if it's that bad maybe get it cut into a bob or something a grow it back from there.

"Why do hairdressers insist on mulleting people? This has happened to me and two friends as well as a colleague. No one wants to have a mullet yet they keep on churning out these horror cuts
Not sure what your hair colour is bulletproof but you could maybe get some funky colour put through it. You might not have the length you like but you can at least get some nice colour to help you through the growing process.

"It gets better......
I washed my hair last night and tried to style it myself, to see if I could make it look halfway near presentable. No chance. Its wonky. One side is longer than the other, and visibly so. I couldn't tell at first because of the way she'd blowdried it. The manager, who usually cuts my hair, is on holiday until the end of next week. I'll be the first person she sees on her return. I want that incompetent bitch sacked. The frustrating thing is, I can't afford to go anywhere else and get it sorted out, so I've got to live with it for another ten days. Plus, I really want the manager to see what that stupid cow has done to my hair.
Furious doesn't even come close"
"God, I sincerely hope you didn't pay?!
What a nightmare, especially after going to the trouble of getting it Yuko'd "
"My hair is long enough to tie up, thankfully. It doesn't really suit me, but it'll look better than the mess I've got at the minute. I did pay, but I fully expect a free haircut to sort out the damage. Its the weeks wait that'll drive me mad."
"God, i completely sympathise with you!
My friend is a qualified hairdresser and she came round a couple of weeks ago and ended up cutting one side at least 2 inches than the other! It also wasn't a trim - is it ever with hairdressers?
Still haven't thought of an excuse when she offers to cut it again!
I am trying desperately to grow it and am currently using FAST which seems to be helping but it just can't grow quick enough!
BPA - what do you think will happen when you show your regular hairdresser what her emplyee did?
I really hope she can sort it out for you - for FREE! Good Luck."
" I completely understand! I had my worst haircut last year, i was left with half black, half blonde-greenish hair with my shortest layer ending at eye level...i was not amused either. But its helped my learn a lot of tips to make your hair grow faster. One way is to massage your scalp twice a week using a natural oil like coconut or olive, you should also finish every hair wash with a blast of cold water for a minute, believe me they work! But meanwhile you might want to experiment with your hair because your going to have to live with it for a while."
"But I can offer my sincere sympathies. I've had a similar thing done TWICE. Once I specified only a *little* bit off the layers, so I could still wear my hair up etc, and she ended up cutting it so that the shortest layers were half way up the back of my head. I was furious.
Another time, when the "Rachel" cut was in ( ) I went to the hairdresser and specified NOT to have that cut, because my hair DOES NOT BEHAVE LIKE THAT. It's all very well them tugging at it and blow drying it and using 5 different styling products to get it to look good, but I can't do that at home.
So what did I get? Ooooh yes, the full Rachel. I looked ridiculous. I (actually) looked like I had two hair cuts, one on top of the other . The top one was a kind of short layered bob, and the bottom one stuck out in the manner of some 60's singing sensation.
Once I had got home and washed it myself it was 10 times worse, all the layers sticking out all over the place.
shudder."
"Oh how I sympythise with you. Happened to me about a year ago. I have always put going to the hairdresser as an ordeal way above the dentist. Just when you start to feel confident in their ability they ignore you, become sloppy and you come away with the haircut from hell.
I spent six months last year feeling dreadful about my hair, and having been ill it was supposed to be a pick me up to make me feel better. The idiot pulled the front forward and cut it straight accross at chin level. It sounded like she was chopping through a pony tail. It was long with layers before now I had this curtain of about three inches on each side. To make it worse my hair goes wavy so it looked ridiculous all the same length,and too short to tie back On the way home I checked out with two really expensive salons and no one would touch it till it had grown.
The only saving grace is I found a really good hairdresser who I completely trust and I noticed today the chop shop has since closed. "
"Well, I went to see the salon manager, my regular hairdresser, a couple of weeks ago, when she got back from her holidays. She agreed that the cut is diabolical. She said the best thing to do is to leave it for a little while, 'til it grows a bit, and she'll sort it out then, for free. If she'd sorted it out at the time I would have lost a LOT of the length. That was two weeks ago. Its settled down quite a bit, so I'm going to leave it another couple of weeks then go back and get it re-cut. It'll take a while to get it completely back to normal, but I think by xmas I should be back to where I was before this debacle. Its the big chunk missing out of one side that is my current cause for concern, but its not as obvious as it was, which is something."
