I just paid $50…

…for the worst haircut of my life.


Before ……………………………………… After

And that, my friends, is why you always bring a picture to the hair salon.

    Hey! There are worse people to look like that Davy Jones. Just be thankful you didn’t get the Mickey Dolenz.

    Ugh, I hate bad haircuts though. A few years ago I went into the hairdresser telling her I wanted it kind of spikey, but long enough to comb down and look normal…30 minutes and 1 buzz cut later…ugh. Maybe you can salvage it?

    I always thought Peter Tork had the worst.

    But did the hairdresser give you his eyebrows too? Cause that’s just sadistic.

    Sometimes a picture doesn’t help! Last December (04), I took a picture OF MYSELF to show the stylist (my license from a few years ago – I like the cut and when I found the license in a drawer, I knew I had to take it with me). She destroyed my hair. I cried, then demanded my money back. They even returned the tip!

    I second the question about the eyebrows!

    Seriously, maybe you can ask for a fix.

    Did you get the accent too? Cause that would be cool.

    I’m sorry to hear about the disastrous haircut, although I admit that this post cracked me up.

    I agree about the picture sometimes being completely useless. I took a picture with me once of a girl whose hair was longer in front that went to a sort of shaved bobby thing in the back. I came home with near on a mullet. I could have put my fist through lead I was so mad. Unlike your smarter of readers, though, I didn’t think to demand my money back.

    Honestly, though, I just can’t picture you looking bad in even the worst of haircuts, so at least you have that going for you.

    Sometimes, people take pictures in of impossible-to-achieve cuts, or ones that are impossible to maintain. Sometimes, the stylist is just an idiot (sounds like your case).

    In my case, I did have proof that the hairstyle would work on me, as it was a picture of me that I took in. Still, the woman tried to insist that my hair was the wrong texture for that cut. This was after I said “no feathering” and she said, “oh, but it’s cute.” I said I don’t care, and she did it anyway. I went back for the re-do, and just sat there and cried. Then I ripped the cape off, threw it on the floor and stormed over to the front desk. It was just before Christmas, and I was getting married in April. I was PISSED!

    I hadn’t cried since I got my pixie cut in 6th grade. Now, I have a friend of a friend cut my hair in her mud room for $10. And I’m thrilled 99% of the time.

    You would jump in with a song… 🙂

    Tvini — I’d be demanding my money back on the haircut. Of course, I don’t get my hair cut, but if I did (and when I used to), I would have demanded either a refund or a no-cost fix (depending on how fixable the cut is).

    I did have an incredible stylist. She made coffee exactly how I like it, and she knew what would work/wouldn’t work for me. I didn’t trust anyone else to touch my hair (the hubby’s the same way about his stylist).
