I think I want to cry  
So for the first time in my life I have a truly horrific haircut.

The guy who did it kept asking what I wanted and I told him that I wanted a fringe, I wanted it around chin length and becasue it's so fine I wanted layers.

Apparently it lost something in the time it took me to say it for him to hear it because he obviously heard this:

"I want to look like a 1980s footballer. Please give me the worst mullet you've ever seen."

I've come out of the hairdressers in the past and thought 'not sure if I like it, I'll see in the morning.' Never before have I come out of the hairdressers and dunked my head directly in the sink to get rid of all the crap he put in it before trying to fix it any way possible. Now I'm on the hunt for a hairdressers that'll be open tomorrow to fix this. Because seriously, I will shave it all off and wear a wig before I go out in public like this.

ETA my sister agrees, it's a mullet. She asked me who did it and when I told her who it was, she said "HIm? The junkie?!"

Might explain why his hands were a little on the shaky side....
 
 
Current Mood: pretty damn upset actually
Current Music: my hairdryer, frantically trying to fix this

*hugs* Oh hon, I'm so sorry. I've had horrid cuts before - did you call to get your money back?

I kicked up such a fuss in the shop that I ended up not paying for it at all, so there's no need to get my money back. The guy actually offered to try to style it another way for me, probably so he'd get paid, but there was no way I was going to let him near me with a pair of scissors again.

Some of the layers on the top of my head are so short that by this time tomorrow I'm going to have short hair again. This morning it was past shoulder length.

Maybe the fact that I was wearing baggy jeans, a Star Wars t-shirt and docker boots gave the impression I wanted to look butch or something. Me, I just thought it gave the impression that tomorrow's laundry day but...

I'd be asking for my money back, or to get them to pay for a haircut to repair the damage.

Like I just said to Kaz, I didn't pay for it - I refused to. All I have to do now is either find a hairdressers who will fix it tomorrow, or wear hats for a few months.

You could look cool in hats. Willow sometimes did a good line in hats. You could wear a different hat each day. Novelty hats and stuff. Or maybe not. *g*

Willow also looked occasionally awful in those hats as well...

*g*

Since I'm still slightly upset here I'll play the sympathy card...

any chance you'd reconsider signing up for [livejournal.com profile] _inthedarkness? Pretty please?

Aw. *hugs*

How often are we talking about posting here? Once a week? Twice? I could maybe manage that. Thing is, fun as it was, I spent way too much time on EOD, and I don't want to repeat that. Thing is, I am not very self-disciplined, so when I get into something, it's all too easy for me to let it run away. So would need some pretty clear parameters.

So, maybe. *g*

Once a week. Maybe twice at most.

And trust me, I know exactly what you mean about getting too involved in EOD and letting it take over everything. That will not happen with ITD - I won't let it.

Go on....

OMG!!! You poor baby! The EXACT same thing happened to me the last time I got a haircut! I looked just like the lead singer of Def Leppard circa 1981! I hope you find a way to fix it!!!!!!

I'm currently both wearing a hat and working my way through all the beer in my fridge in an attempt to forget exactly how bad it is.

I'm heading into Glasgow tomorrow to go shopping so hopefully I can find a salon there which'll fix this. I'm going to have to go for the really short haircut though, which - given that I had shoulder length hair this morning - is a bit of a shock to the system.

It'll work out, eventually. Or hats work. And bandanas. And scarves. And if all else fails then there's the dog grooming clippers I bought last year....

My heart goes out to you! Really it does! Bad hair is devastating! I wear hats all the time now since, even though the mullet has grown out, my hair still looks horrid. Hats are a godsend! They hide a multitude of tonsorial sins! But I do hope you find a salon to repair the damage, instead!

Not good. Although good on you that you refused to pay.

Look at it this way, it could be worse. I mean, did I ever tell you about the time I attempted to cut my own fringe on the morning of the day I was performing for The Queen?

As for hats, if you fancy any of these, my needles are yours.

Thanks Jackie, it doesn't look as bad this morning but that's really not saying all that much. I'm off into Glasgow soon to see if it's at all fixable but I may be calling on your knitting skills anyway!
