I got my hair cut last weekend using a Groupon. I've had great experiences in the past using Groupons, but I probably should have gone with my gut and left after seeing this place. It's in South Dallas (pretty much the ghetto), but in a trendy, upscale arts district, so I thought I would be okay as I just wanted a trim. The open bottles of liquor all over the place should have clued me in. I mistook it for a tattoo parlor at first.
At any rate, I asked the girl to "trim my split ends, but keep the length, and clean up my layers." Thanks to pregnancy, I had long, thick hair down to my chest with long, very uniform layers. I really liked it, but it just needed to be trimmed up a bit. I thought I had made myself clear, but I guess not.
She turned me away from the mirror and by the time I saw 3 inch strands of hair falling down, it was too late. Now the longest part of my hair is 2 inches shorter than it was, and it is only a very small portion. The rest is a good 3-5 inches shorter and cut in these crazy, uneven layers. It looked decent after she styled it, but now I cannot do ANYTHING with it. Should have known as she started randomly cutting strands AFTER she styled it. Ugh. Nothing lays nicely and it is so thin everywhere. Huge bummer as I know my hair is going to start falling out like crazy after the baby is born. It just always looks so stringy and messy no matter what I do. I've had too-short haircuts before, but never one that was just this BAD.
Plus, it's immediately a grease fest no matter what now. The did some deep conditioning treatment as part of the Groupon--maybe that was it? But seriously, an hour after styling my hair it looks like a 13 year old boy's face. I never had this problem before.
So...my question(s):
Is it worth trying to get it fixed or should I just live with it? I feel so uncomfortable and bloated right now and my hair was the only thing that was working.
I know I look better with longer hair, but it is already too messed up to put in a proper ponytail (going to suck during labor), so maybe I should just go short?
Anybody got any tips for dealing with the greasefest??
