8 hairdressing experiences we’ve all probably been through

We all want to look good, right? And how our hair looks can generally play a big part in how we feel. A bad hair day can literally ruin, well, your day, so when we find a good hairdresser we tend to worship them like gods. Gods who can fix a fringe that you attempted to cut yourself after six gin and tonics or restore your hair to it’s natural colour after you decided that surely bleaching your hair yourself couldn’t be THAT hard. However, unless you’ve been VERY bloody lucky, you’ve probably still had at least one of these bad hairdressing experiences…

1. You’ve said the water temperature is fine when you’re having your hair washed, even if it’s hotter than Hades or colder than a Tory MP’s heart.

 

2. You’ve gone in for a trim but before you can say “Yes I am going somewhere nice for my holiday, thanks” there’s more of your hair on the floor than there is left on your head.

3. You’ve had a complete crisis of confidence when you’ve sat in front of the mirror with wet hair, wearing a nylon gown, and wondered if you always look this horrific.

 

4. You’ve remained smiling even when your neck has been forced into an unnatural angle, your ear has been caught with the scissors or your scalp feels like it has been melted into your brain with the heat from the hairdryer.

 

5. You’ve asked for a certain style but the hairdresser has gone rogue and decided to do something completely different instead.

6. You’ve smiled and nodded when the hairdresser has held a mirror up to show you the back of your hair, even if it has looked like they’ve poured weedkiller on it and let a blind gerbil chew on the ends.

 

7. Despite hating the haircut you’ve been given, you have still left a tip.

 

8. You’ve thought to yourself “It’ll be fine once I wash it and do it myself.”
