on v. day my hair was long and has had many a wonderful hair days. BIG hair! like the likes of ' designing women ' BIG. now i had mentioned to john that i had seen a hair cut i wanted to sport. its not your typical cut but its not complicated either. just one cut really, cut from point A to point B. the cut was to , looking at the front you would have seen the rt. side would have ended at my jaw line, the left. would have been just touching my left. shoulder. in between the points should have been a straight diagonal cut. /. not that much of a angle but i think you can understand. right? NOT my hair dresser. i drew a picture. i went to great lengths to explain this ,i really did. i even showed comparable pictures. she swore she knew exactly what i was saying. so there i sat
//// thats all i was thinking,//////. she brushes my hair the way only
beauticians can do . she gathered up some hair and RIPPED a straight cut_ out of the middle of the back of my neck. ///// to_..! this cut was just below the short hairs on your neck.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!?" i asked the woman. her boss calmly but quickly, came around the corner. you see, he was also listening while i described the cut to the woman. whatever he was thinking, it did not show on his face ,but i did noticed that split second shot he gave the beautician. it appeased me, so i relaxed when he said "I'LL FINISH". when he was through i had the angle / on the rt.good. i had the angle / on the left. good. the back side, the whole back side is__. not an angle that would connect the slope. no i got a shelf in the back. looky, angle ,shelf ,angle. he brushed and sprayed my head and stated "ALL DONE> IT LOOKS GOOD". i paid and left happy as a clam until later. part of my new doo was to turn it RED. after the dying and all that gel and spray was gone i saw that the male beautician had lied to me. the finished doo was an optical iillusion. so there i was, the wrong kinda red and a cartoon hairdoo.
my neighbor came over for what ever reason.,saw my hair and told me she could fix it. i checked with the other neighbors and her husband, she got good kudos. word to the wise, when your Afr. American friend says she can fix your hair, ask if she has ever cut straight white hair. AH HA she had not. so now its a slightly different, shorter version of my cartoon hair . i finally went to a different stylist, my hair is very short (show my left earlobe short)(remember, the rt.side was to come to my cheekbone) now, right angle cut to the left. left side just touching my left shoulder. the cut i wanted, just too short. back to the red hair. the red was effected by my very dark hair, so john went to the beauty store and got me some colouring bleach and a more "red" dye than i had bought.( when he had seen my 2nd cut he kiss my cheek, winked and told me we'd take care of it tomorrow.) he had bought the hair "tipping" bleach so there was not enough to do my whole head. off to the store for an exchange. that 2nd.kit was missing 2 parts of the kit. off to the store for an exchange. now it looks like strawberry blond fire. (john got some "strange" last night). i will dye it red in a few days, if you want to read the conclusion of my saga leave a comment and i'll fill you in to the end , is it the end? ME>
well i got the cut i wanted finaly cut that i wanted, with all told.
a very wee version ( after 3 cuts there is very little left)
the sad thing is i'll probaly will get bored of it before i can enjoy it.
Comments:
thanx. it finally is the cut that i wanted but about 5in. to short. its just a waiting game now for it togrow. the big regret is that i'll
probably get bored of it before i really get to enjoy it. that just makes me want to cry. i thought penning this would help. no, it just made it worse. i am sure in a few days i'll lagh about this.
Gosh! What a terrible experience! I hope it will grow into a style you'll enjoy and feel happy with.
oh my goodness....reminds me of the time I tried so called all natural hair color...I wound up looking like Bozo the Clown. Fire engine red
