#1 reason to never take a new book that everyone is raving about to the hairdresser’s
So I had Vicky take some pictures of Max and me. I figured since I am the one who always takes pictures and there are never any of me, and since Max was in a snuggly mood, I should get some of the two of us.
That is not what happened.
Don’t get me wrong, Max was cute and snuggly and we took a bunch of pictures, but all this little photo shoot did was illustrate how truly horrible my new hair cut is.
I asked for a bob people. Seriously? How hard could that be? Of course it was all my fault. I brought Twilight with me and started reading it while my hair was coloring. I think she said something about “stacking” the back and I think I heard the stropping of a straight razor, but once I started reading who could be bothered really?
So I ended up paying $110 for the worst case of somehow perfectly manufactured all over frizzy split ends I have ever seen. I hate vetting new hairdressers! And this one? FAIL! What part of busy mom don’t have time to “do” my hair need something simple, want a bob with the underside died fire engine red don’t you understand?
Gah!
Apparently “stacked” doesn’t mean what I thought. I vaguely thought she was commenting on either a) my 34F rack or b) my platform flip-flops, but who was listening anyway?
And what’s with the flippy bits on the sides there?
Okay, other than my butt-head center part, this one is pretty cute.
ditto
I mean, I had nice smooth hair, how does one create frizz like this?
Close up of the frizz.
Seriously, if Max wasn’t so insanely sweet in this photo I would delete it. I would be too embaressed to show it even to you. What is this? Some sort of new millenium mullet? Not even sure how one goes about fixing a disaster like this. I was just trying to get a little of my sass back. Well at least I got 2 hours of uninterupted reading done, and there is a bit of sass somewhere under all that frizz I suppose. <sigh>
My unasked for advice: Go back to the salon and speak with the manager. At the very least, s/he will either have the hairdresser re-cut, or will assign someone else to try and fix it.
As someone who’s had her share of bad haircuts (why are some folks so scared to cut hair short on a woman?), I feel your pain…
September 18th, 2008 at 2:07 amI have a brilliant idea… Come to Boston and have Curtis cut your hair!!
dasparky’s suggestion is a good one. At least have someone try to fix it.
Here I thought you were exaggerating… Sorry K. =/

You gotta love a good haircut. Makes you feel clean!
February 5th, 2009 at 6:18 pmYour stylist was wrong for not doing a complete consultation. I do think your cut has potential. To help with styling: after shower on damp hair put a very small amout of shine ( Glass from redkin or anything simular) in palm of your hand, rub hands together then place on hair ends and midshaft( not roots, don’t want to look oily). Then blow dry upside down to create body. Once dry take small amount of mousse in hand, rub hands together to ditribute it evenly, then lightly comb fingers downward through hair, again trying to avoid roots. This should help with frizz.
July 21st, 2009 at 3:06 pmIt’s actually a very cute cut. It’s the cut I’m getting. It is technically your fault for now paying attention to your stylist or asking her what she meant if you didn’t understand. The frizz comes from the layering she did with the razor. All you need to fix that is a little smoothing product and razored layers are actually really cute. Make sure to only put a small amount of product on your tips and even less through the shaft and roots because too much will just make your hair appear dirty and greasy. Maybe try some side bangs as well. They will bring the overall look together.
