- SJSarah JaneOct 4, 20251.0Went in with very long hair.. asked for a trim and left with shoulder length hair (I also wear glasses and was asked to remove them so I didn’t see until the end) she cut off over 5 inches. Also wouldn’t stop making backhanded comments about my color that I do myself. *UPDATE* I’ve literally been crying about my hair all night, I measured it and she cut off 7 inches at my longest point of hair, it used to touch the top of my butt when I tilted my head back now it barely touches the top of my bra.
