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.”
