Haircut Nightmares

Believe it or not, there’re hairstylists out there that probably shouldn’t come close to any ones head with a pair of shears. You know the ones; we’ve all experienced them one time in our life. I have nothing against hairstylists that are trying to perfect their craft; however I just don’t want them practicing on me. I’ve experienced my share of haircut nightmares, one to many times.
It doesn’t matter if you’ve explained your haircut vision to your hairstylists with the utmost detail; it’s quite possible you will end up with something that’s quite honestly, an unmanageable mop on top of your head. You might not mind it as much if you were just going in for a regular appointment; imagine if it was for an unforgettable evening, what a haircut nightmare that’d be.
It’s not the end of the world. The sun is still going to rise in the east and set in the west, if you know what I mean. After all, your hair will grow out again, just not as quick as you’d like it to though. There’re some steps you could take to get you through your haircut nightmare.

• Most hair salons are in the business in keeping their customers happy, at all costs. If you find yourself a victim of a haircut nightmare, then go back to the hair salon and speak your mind. Nine times out of ten, they’ll do whatever it takes to make it right. However, I’d suggest having a different hairstylist fix your hair though. If the last stylist couldn’t get it right the first time, chances are they might not be able to fix it.
• A ponytail could be a haircut nightmares best friend, if it’s long enough, that is. Since your fresh, new bad haircut won’t grow out for a while, a ponytail is a perfect way to disguise your embarrassing hair-do. Get creative with it; you could still wear it in a sexy fashion even though the haircut isn’t.
• Just because your dream haircut turned out to be a haircut nightmare, doesn’t mean you should neglect your daily hair regimen. Work with what you have, continue with your conditioning treatments so your hair will grow out healthier and sexier than before.
• I know your tempted, but whatever you do, don’t do anything drastic; like chopping off what’s left of your hair. You just might end up with a haircut that can’t be fixed no matter what you do. Unless you like wearing hats, then by all means, chop away.

Visuals are a great way to clearly communicate how you’d like your hair to look. So when you sit in your hairstylists’ chair, don’t be afraid to pull out the pictures of your favorite hairstyle.
Don’t worry; the sun will shine on you again. Your beautiful hair, which has been on top of your head for all those years, will be back before you know it. In the meantime, get creative with your hair, chance are you’ll be able to find a hairstyle that just might work in the time being. Hey, you never know, you might find a new you and forget all about your haircut nightmare.
