Why?

Why? Why do hairstylists go scissor happy on my hair? 

I recently went to a friend who is also a hairstylist. She asked me about where I wanted my hair cut. Then she did something. She cut my hair while I was standing up, before I was even in the chair.

Then she showed me what she cut. I was mortified. My hair was now short. I had my hair down to my butt. Now it is up to my bra. Even my clients at work said that it was cut too short. 

Unfortunately, I have lost sleep over this. I only wanted two inches off and she took eight. I want to cry right now. I want to cry and curl up in a ball and just mourn my lost hair. 

I know that some of you will be like, "But it's just hair". But I'm like attached to my hair. I spent my high school years in Hawaii and I wanted to go and mix with my old friends. Now, I don't even want to show my face that's how short it is. 

People used to ask me how long it took to grow my hair that long. I tell them that it took me seven years. Now, it will take at least two years to get it back. That is way too much to cut when I just wanted a trim. 

This isn't the first time that this has happened to me. When I was in cosmetology school, the teacher asked for a student to cut their hair. I had a picture and everything. I had grown my bangs out. I wanted a bob to match the length of my bangs so I could start to grow it long.

Not only did he cut my hair so super short, he cut my bangs to half of my forehead and made me look like a boy in the class. I cried for three weeks. 

The only way to grow my hair long is to cut it myself. I know that I know how to do it, but I got a little happy the last time I cut it and I needed my friend to blend it. But she scalped me. She raped my hair and put me in a depression. I feel betrayed. 

You might not know this, but hair only grows half an inch a month. She took eight. Now you know why I hate having to go to the hairstylist for a haircut. That is why I cut it myself. I should have known better. She cut my hair even before a consultation. She was like I like it here and here. And then before I knew it she had scalped me. I wasn't even in the chair yet. She knew what she was doing, because she makes bank from hair. She must have a grudge against me or something. I absolutely did not tell her to cut it this short.
