i got my haircut WAY too short. for reference it reached my hips and i have 3b-3c hair and i asked her for layers and only an inch off the ends but when i get done with the hair cut i checked and its js a few inches past my shoulders. This is so frustrating because obviously my hair means alot to me and i trusted her with a simple task. i am beyond disappointed, growing healthy long curly hair takes AGES because of shrinkage and i put alot of work into it and now that half of it is gone it feels like i lost a part of me. i know to some people hair doesn’t mean much but this is years of my life im talking about! i am just really frustrated and disappointed because no matter how much i complain i cannot get my hair back right now.

I am scared and never going to visit again. hated that the stylist was so rough despite my politely warning her beforehand that I had a very sensitive scalp. Is this a salon or where people go to get assaulted? She simply did a nervous laugh as though it wasn’t possible and next thing I knew I felt like 25% of my bodyweight was being hauled she “thinned” my hair and removed volume..getting the curtain bangs felt like getting my hair roots plucked one by one. And then after I went home and showered, CLUMPS of my hair fell out and I was scared and thought my alopecia restarted (it didn’t, I checked).
