haircut stories / what was your worst haircuts

[silver56uk]

What was your worst haircut /hair experience? Were you maybe given home haircuts you hated as a child or taken to a salon or barbershop and cut far too short. Nowadays children have better stylists more choice ect years ago it was not uncommon ive heard for mum or dad to cut all the family at home even the girls OR maybe the girls cut at the local barbers with there brothers as it was cheaper. Just wondered if anyone had interesting hair stories

About 10 years ago, I decided to try one of the unisex hairdressers in our small town. (The population is less than 5000 but there are about half a dozen hairdressers). It was a Saturday afternoon and I popped my head round the door to ask if they could fit in a 'gent's trim' without an appointment. The women who was obviously the boss looked at the young lady by the reception desk and said: "You can do that, can't you?" She said "Of course", and I took a seat.

I was trying to remember where I'd seen this hairdresser before but I couldn't quite place her. Anyway, she asked the usual questions about how I'd like my hair cut and made a start. She was about half-way through when her scissors slipped and she took a large nick out of the top of my left ear. She apologised profusely, saying "Sorry, I've never done that before". Two minutes later, while I was still holding a tissue to my left ear, she took a similar-sized knick out of my right ear!

I was only charged a nominal sum for the hair (and ear!) cut. A couple of days later I went shopping in the local convenience store. There, behind the counter, was the 'hairdresser' I'd been trying to place in my mind. She was just a shop worker who'd been helping her friend out in the nearby hairdresser's shop! ;-)

My worst was a DIY job. Had dyed my own hair for years with no problem until I decided to try blond.

Did a pre-lightner which turned half peroxide and half bright red, stuck the blond on in the misguided hope it would help, no luck, so ended up having to run out to the only place open in a baseball cap (Bewise!) to get a dark dye.

Went to the hairdressers next morning and it took 3 hours to fix.....never again!

my mate is a qualified hairdresser and usually comes over to cut my hair. Unfortunately on one occasion we both got drunk First and then when she said what would you like madam, I just said do what you want. Well my sis came in later on and found all my hair on the floor and us two giggling away. My poor fringe was non existent and I had to use clips for months to keep it down. :-)

My cousin was training to become a hairdresser and I let her cut my hair. Well she cut it so short I looked like I was joining the army. The next day I had to play truant from school I was too embarrassed to go. I bought some gel and practised spiking it and made it look interesting or I would definately of had to take the week off if not more.
