| - Hmmm....what did I really expect for 13 bucks? I suppose most of it was my fault for being too trusting.
I walked in expecting to get a straight-forward cut. Trim it a couple inches, no need to layer. The place was empty of customers and employees. The lady at the cash register seemed sketchy and I'm not even sure she was trained, much less licensed.
First, she didn't even wet down my hair. Sure, it would have been extra to get a full shampoo, but I didn't think she would just briefly mist my hair. The haircut was done on practically dry hair. Big no no.
The first cut was made. Not short enough....Second cut made....not short enough. She indicated how much she was taking off. I tell her more. I SHOW her how much to take off. Not short enough. I show her again....*exasperated* I guess that's enough. We were battling over quarter inches here.
Big no no 2. She starts cutting from one side and gradually works her way around the back of my head to the other side. Professionals start from the BACK of the head. When she completes her round, I can see that the other side is significantly longer than the side she started on. Em...yeah. The side she started on is clearly above my shoulders whereas the other side is hanging below it.
Jesus woman, where were you trained? The Cosmetology School of Non-Euclidian Geometry? I wait for her to notice this gross discrepancy. She actually starts adding some finishing layers and asks me to look it over in the mirror.
I tell her "Um...I think this side is longer." She says yeah...just a little bit, and proceeds to chop off an entire inch. Oddly, she's only correcting the front part of the hair and not going back around to even it all out. I should have caught it earlier but I wasn't given a mirror to check out the back part of my head.
Oh why, oh why did I tip her? Goddamn generous me. When I got home, I washed and blow dried my hair to see the damage. It wasn't too bad. I don't see how working with wet hair would have killed her. Then when I checked out the longer side, she really did just focus on the front part when she went back to fix it. I could see the distinct gradation between fixed and non-fixed lengths. Complete amateur. Never. Again.
I recut my own hair at least 4 times, adding layers to fix her massive fuck up. She might as well used a bowl on me. At least that would have produced even results.
