OK. I tried. I really, really tried to like my hair color and cut. I’ve been playing with it, putting clips in it, changing my outfits to match my crazy hair….it absolutely is not working. Every time I pass my reflection I’m shocked. I get a wave of insecurity and then have to force myself to find something good about my appearance. Today it dawned on me, why am I doing that? I paid $160 dollars for their expertise. I shouldn’t have to force myself to like my hair. For that amount of money I should be able to look at my hair and think it looks good….no, more than that, I should look at it and think they made me look better than before. Not worse!
I called them and explained that the hairdresser did the things I suggested, and did them well, but it just looks totally wrong and I’m not happy. They were great and said I can come in today at 6 and they will fix it free of charge! Hooray! I’m still scared though. I know they can’t make my bangs longer, but I just don’t want my hair to get worse. Agh.

I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with. I had a similar thing happen in the spring- except the hairdresser didn’t do what I asked and chopped 7 inches off. I was not as brave as you and I had to make two other appointments with other salons to get something I could live with. Post pictures as soon as you can…
I hate getting my hair cut for that very reason, I’m never happy. I always think I want something trendy but then I can never make it look good. The best was when I just popped into a hair place while I was getting new tires on my car (keep in mind I was in Miami). The hairdresser didn’t speak English (should have been my first sign to bolt for the door) but instead the front desk chic translated that I just wanted a trim so I felt a little better. When I left the back of my hair was an arrow pointing at my ass. Took my hair scissors to work the next day and had my coworker fix it. The front was also very messed up to, somehow a trim, NO layers, translated into LAYER THE CRAP OUT OF MY HAIR!!!!!! I can so relate.
I’m so sorry you don’t like your hair. You look like a natural blonde, so the color looks fine to me, at least in the picture. I’m anxious to see what you end up with!
It’s very chic and stylish, although it is a big change. I can relate, because I hate big changes. I cut 3 inches off my hair and obsessed about it until about the time it had grown back.
Let us know what changes they make.
