What do you do...

...when your trusted hairstylist completely RUINS your hair??

I used to looooove my hair. It was permed, healthy, volumized, and beautifully black/sun-browned. I went to the stylist to get my hair trimmed about 1-2" and he hacked off 4" and thinned the whole thing down. I am beyond devastated. I don't have naturally thick hair, which is why I chose to perm my hair. Now it feels like I'm back to Square 1.

Funny thing is that this has got to be the hundredth time I've been disappointed with my haircut.

What do you folks do when you've got a hideous haircut? (I already did the crying/chocolate part

)

I can relate to "Bad Haircuts"~~~~

I really can't say how I got out of that "mad make over mess"~~

I just let my hair down, so to speak, ( didn't go for a haircut for nearly 2 years)~~~

Then, when I noticed a friend, or, even a stranger, with a hair style that appealed to me, I asked them who their hairdresser was.

A lot of the problem , at least with me, was communicating with them.

so, when I mentioned that I had been referred by so and so. , the hairdresser got a general idea of what I actually wanted. I also mentioned my past experiences ~~~ and kindly insisted that I be in control during the process~~~

My advice: Gently pull the reins in when you are sitting in that chair.

It hasn't happened to me in a long time. (Now, if I could just get the face to match the hair , I'd be all set)
