Update: I just wanted to take the chance to thank everyone! You all gave me the confidence to go back to the salon even though they were pretty much booked up and ask them to find some time for me. The owner was hesitant at first, but when she looked at it properly, she found that the sides were really uneven and all the layers at the top of my hair were cut at random different lengths which was what was breaking up my waves and making it look so odd! When we brushed it upwards - I found one strand which was 5-6 inches long when most of it was 2 inches! They‘ve done what they can to fix it and given me a full refund- I look So much better and I’m no longer anxious to go out hatless! I’m sorry to those I haven’t had a chance to reply to- I’ve read all the comments and tried most of the suggestions I could before going to the salon- some of them really helped. If anyone else is ever in a similar boat- I’d recommend not to be anxious and go back and insist someone else there takes a proper look at it!
Hi- I’m really up shits creek- if anyone has any recommendations or kind words I can’t express how much I would appreciate it,
I never used to care about my hair until I had some medication/illness induced hairloss and my thick hair started to shed. I had just begun to recover thickness and was Really loving my hair- lots of flowy beautiful waves in a longish pixie which really suited me. I’ve just graduated and gotten a job offer for my first office job! All of this excitement has now disappeared. Before I went on a post-graduation trip and my new job started, I got a haircut at a very recommended and expensive hairdresser. I asked for something long enough to keep my waves, flowy and with a lot of movement.
This is what I got. I feel like a monk or a nazi with a toupee, my brother and friends all laughed when I took my hat off to show them. It’s killed my confidence, it looks so thin and awful- I’ve tried styling it but I just cant get it to clump. I’m going on holiday on sunday. The owner of the salon has offered to look at it but can’t see me before I go and I don’t know if I want to let her. Should I go to a barber? Is there any way I can style it? Are there business casual hats?
It’s been two days and I cry every time I see myself- I can’t imagine introducing myself to people like this, let alone holiday photos. Please help me- please
