So Tempted...

I really want long locks. Do I dare purchase these?

Short Hair

Haircut Update: I called the salon and they have refunded my money. I am so relieved. I am pretty talented with a round brush, so it hides the hideous haircut very well. Now, all I have to do is wait for my hair to grow.

I found this picture on the web...apparently the lady paid $450 for it. Absolutely absurd!

Don't know what else to say...

(i want my hair long like this again...)

Thanks to everyone who came to my rescue. It is pretty lame that a haircut can cause me so much stress. I mean there are worse things that can happen...like losing a job or a loved one. Just so you don't think I am completely shallow...the haircut thing was just a trigger for lots of things that were bothering me. You know how it is when you finally just "blow". That is what happened last week.

Thanks to Bex...she called me and just listened and I felt much better. Thanks to Lindsay for offering to fix my hair. If only I could get long beautiful locks like her, then I would feel much better!

Thanks for all your great comments...I am feeling sentimental. I love you all!

Horrible Haircut Today...

This is me about a week ago...

(me with cute long bangs)

I went to a nice salon in Evanston...paid more than $50 ...

Me: I am trying to grow my hair out. So, I just need a trim. Please don't take any length off. However, I do like to have a little bit of an A-line because I like the front longer than the back.

Hairstylist: Okay...

45 minutes later:

Me: Sniff, Sniff

(I am crying all the way home from the salon. He chopped my bangs and the back of my hair off. He also cut it very uneven).

I am so frustrated. I called the salon asking for my money back. They told me that is not their policy. I forgot to tell them my policy is to tell everyone how crappy their salon is....hopefully is will ruin their business. The manager was practically fighting with me about my hair. She said she saw it when I walked out and it looked fine to her. Whatever!

(bangs are too short, it looks fine from this angle)

What to do next? Try another salon? Cut it myself? Have Holland cut it?

does this look right to you?

or this?

All I know is that I have never had so many issues with my haircuts. I have gone 29 years with GREAT haircuts and then as soon as I move to Illinois it all goes to H*ll. Has anyone here gone to beauty school? I am a self taught stylist and it is not that hard!
