Went for a hair cut with a new person because my usual stylist no longer does hair. This was the first time with the new girl, but I've been going to the same place for years. It's been a while and I had tons of split ends & asked for a 4 inch trim to get it back to healthy. My hair is long, to my waist and usually I stand during cuts. She said no need.
When she was done, I should have known something was weird because I had to ask for the mirror to see the back. She cut 18 inches off.

I’m so sorry OP, I had the same experience almost two years ago and it was honestly traumatizing. With time you’ll at least be able to fix the style but I understand how hard it is to wait

I had this happen to me when I was a sophomore in high school. They cut off 12 inches and it’s just now growing back 16 years later. I cried for weeks. I never went back.

Yes there is a mirror but, the pieces she cut at a time were no longer than an inch or two. It wasn't until I stood up that I realized how much chopping instead of trimming she was doing. She also had my hair pinned up. It's a thorough haircut, just not at all what I want.

I just need to find a way to love it, but it's hard when I can't even look in the mirror.

Do those blow dry places make you love your hair?

They do- it comes out silky and shiny. That’s a good idea to help you love it.

I literally got up from a stylist’s chair once in the middle of her cutting frenzy and said I had to be somewhere and that “I’d like to leave with SOME hair!” And then I cried all the way home. So I get that. Buuuuuut….hair down to your waist? Seems really outdated and not a fresh look. Maybe she did you a favor??

Same thing happened to me about 15 years ago. My hair was down to mid butt, asked for 10 inches cut so I could donate it and have just past shoulder length hair but the stylist took off almost 19 inches. I was depressed for weeks.

I was so upset that I literally couldn't talk. I paid and left. Cried all the way home. My hair is just below my shoulders now. So I guess it's healthy. It's not even the style I asked for, like I wanted long layers with wispy pieces around to frame my face, and it's pretty much a straight bob. Should have saved myself 80 bucks and had my mom do it, like in middle school. At least mom would have kept the length.

Did she misunderstand you?? Genuinely curious how she confused a trim with a 18 inch cut

Sorry about that. However, in time, I do think you’ll love your hair. You mentioned your hair looks healthy now. When people start to compliment you on your new hairstyle, you’ll probably see it differently and love it, and if not, by then, you are that much closer to having your long hair again.

I’m so sorry that happened to you! I would look into ways to make your hair grow faster (oils, vitamins, etc) and try your best to style the short hair until you are to a length you are comfortable and happy with ❤️

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".
