"You didn't do it right"

What in the world is wrong? Why can't I be assertive when it comes to me and my needs? Should the same thing happen to someone else I would be the first to tell it like it is? Yet, I fail for myself.

Yesterday, after 3 months without a hair cut, I ventured out to get one. My hair grows like someone is feeding it miracle grow while I sleep. So, after 3 months it isn't anywhere close to how it should be.

So as I enter the salon, this is knowledge I feed to the stylist. Followed by EXACTLY, what I want. No wishy washy. No way to misunderstand. Exact info on the front, back and sides.

As I am in the chair, she is just trimming. Did I say 3 months? After a few snips, she is reaching for the hair dryer. Her mouth was running full speed and I couldn't get 2 words in. So, she kept drying.

Then, when she is done and going to take that bib off, she shuts up.

I tell her, that it isn't short enough. And instead of fixing it, she tells me "if you go home and your not happy, come back and we will fix it for free."

COME BACK - are you out of your mind! Do it NOW. Is what I would have said for someone else.

Instead - I walked out. It totally ruined my day. What a waste of money.

My fault - for looking for a cheaper alternative for my hair care.

To make it even more terrible if it is possible.......I headed for Micky D's to get my free Chicken Sandwich and an Iced Coffee only to see the line resembled more of a parade then the drive-thru. I couldn't even get into the parking lot to park and walk in.

So, I didn't get my free sandwich!

On the upside - TODAY IS GOING TO BE 100% BETTER THEN YESTERDAY!! The sun is already shining!

lol about your haircut. At least you still have hair. I wanted my hair so it swept my shoulders. It is about to the nape of my neck. do these "stylist" not realize wet hair shrinks. Yes it will grow but not fast enough for me.

Sounds like you are not on the same wavelength as your stylist. I don't even tell mine what I want--he knows my hair and exactly what to do.
