1. Bout 2 years ago, yours truly (A woman) went to a new "Hair Solon"

Should have been call "Hare Saloon" or drunken bunny.
I'll make this short..after asking her to do a certain cut, I wanted to get a cup of used motor oil and
throw it on her.. Jesus Christ... My husband said "Did she cut your hair with a Briggs and Stratton lawn mower?

That was funny for 1/324 of a second....

[debm55]

3. Was she new? I would have complained to the manage. I hope you never went back, chouchou.

[chouchou]

5. They went out of business somewhere around 4 months.

No..I think the person that cut my hair was having a very bad day. She was shaking some...kinda weird.
I let it go. again..maybe after 4 months they moved ...into Hell.

[debm55]

7. HAHAHAHHAH. Good thing they moved.

2. When I was about 7 or 8 I got what was then called a "pixie cut."

It was a very short haircut which was inflicted on me because I had unruly, easily tangled hair that I resisted brushing, so my mother decided the best way to deal with it was to have most of it cut off. I was already a dorky-looking kid, small, shy, had just gotten dorky glasses because I was so nearsighted, and then I got this awful haircut that made my ears stick out and exponentially increased my already high level of dorkitude. I recall getting hysterical and refusing to go to school, which of course wasn't on, so I had to go to school and endure the increased teasing that comes with being a hopeless dork (a condition that continues to this day but I cope with it a lot better now). I had kind, loving parents in most respects but I never quite forgave my mom for that.

4. Oh Ocelot II, so sorry for you. I remember there was a haircut that was like a Pixie. It was called the Twiggy. I had

one. I hated it.

6. The perm that fried my hair.

Decades ago, I got a perm at a new place and would up with hair that was basically burned, with patches that fell out at the crown and top of forehead. I was livid; no real remedy except to wait and let it grow, then cut it short for awhile.

8. Oh my, that is terrible, Liberty Belle. I had a perm that burned my hair too. It was a mess. Like you, I got it cut off.

Never went back to that place again.

9. "GI haircut" actually a shaved head

upon being drafted into the US Army. But I was lucky. A lot of guys had scars, warts, moles, etc. on their scalps and were bleeding profusely after their haircuts. I just looked like a skinned rabbit.

11. Thank you very much, Glorfindel for sharing with us. That is really short.

10. My grandma thought her chubby, little granddaughter should have a pixie haircut. I looked like

a fat melon with a tuft of short hair growing out the top. My grandmother was also responsible for the permanent that made me look like I had a Brillo pad on my head.

[debm55]

12. Thank you Vinca. I had to laugh as my grandmother one of those Toni, Home perms. I found the picture and I was small but

I also looked like a Brillo Pad.

14. I got a short haircut AND a perm

when I was about 10 or 11. I'm also a redhead, so I got called little orphan Annie for a while. That was my first and last perm 😂

15. Thank you very much, Lucoferous.for sharing. I bet you were cute, thought.

18. When I was a teenager I really, really wanted red hair. So, of course, I bought some colored hair rinse and

used the entire package to make my hair a pretty auburn color. It looked pretty good, but my father went ballistic and made me wash my hair until it was back to mousy brown.

[Luciferous]

20. I hated my hair as a teen and used to

dye it, now I appreciate it. I wish my kids would have gotten my red hair, but unfortunately neither one did.

[Luciferous]

13. When I was 16, I shaved my head on

a dare and I didn't mind that so much but growing it back was a nightmare.

[debm55]

16. Yes, I always wondered how long it would take.

17. The Great Mullet Disaster of '87

It's been nigh along 40 year now. Things was different back then...ayup.

But, I tell ya, if you put on your best Girbaud parachute pants, a skinny collared shirt buttoned at the top with a bolo tie, and a white blazer, ye'd be remiss if you weren't sportin' business in the front and party in the back on your head.

[debm55]

19. Thank you very much, LudwigPastorius. I had a mullet too.

21. When we were quite young, my sister and I

had VERY SHORT haircuts. My mom just didn't want to bother with our hair every day. Sis and I were often mistaken for boys. We absolutely hated it!

[debm55]

23. Oh my, I remember a lot of girls.(myself included) had really short hair. And yes. Mad_Dem_X , I hated it.

22. layered, circa 1979

The thing is, my hair tends toward frizz - you don't "add volume" to that. It took about eight years to fully grow out.

[debm55]

24. Thank you surreal American. the layered cuts had to keep getting trimmed until they all reached the same length. And

that took a long time.
