My Stupid Haircut

Yesterday I think I got the worst haircut of all time.

One day, I look like an 1800's paperboy... the next, I look like the First Lady or something. I hate it.

I thought the hair lady and I had an understanding. Apparently not...

Today, I look like Golfing Society Wife


I mean, seriously. What part of this:

don't you understand???!??!?!

Then of course, I get the age-old question... "Who colors your hair?"
Listen, Toots... Your hair is PURPLE... So I seriously doubt that you have a leg to stand on asking ME about my DIY highlights.

I don't know what to do. I got this haircut because I'm going to a wedding this weekend and I want to look HOTT. But now I just look like a boy.

I might convert to Islam and wear a headscarf to the wedding.

Sigh....

1) Yeah, your haircut totally doesn't look like that example, but I still think it's cute. When it's time to get the next cut, I'd switch stylists.

but I can't see your hair well enough to tell how it really looks :(

3) For what it's worth, you do look good even if you don't like your hair. And that photo is AWESOME.

4) I think you can jazz up what they stylist left you to work with. But yes, I do believe that they did not look at your picture at all...

5) I can't figure out how you ended up with bangs after producing that picture for a guide. Seriously, I think hairstylists have taken the year off or something.

6) Regardless, you always look great and hair grows out to try again. Better luck with the next stylist. I've noticed some of them have their own opinion of what your hair should look like and do it that way no matter what you request. Mine doesn't do a bad job with the cutting but the styling! Nothing like I do it. I come in with it looking right--but she does this SWEEP back. I get in the car, pour water on my head and fix it. :) I'm sure you can get it looking great for the wedding--no problem!!

8) I just noticed an huge inconsistency in your blog and I hate to split hairs (pun fully intended) and all that but if you got the cut yesterday, how can you say that one day you look like this and one day you look like that? By my calculation you either had you hair cut at least 3 days ago, or you are lying in your blog.

9) I think I've gone into a stylist with a very similar photo and got a similar result to yours. What's the point of them oohing and aahing over the photo if they're not even going to follow it?

10) Limey George... settle down. Yesterday I got it cut, and I looked like a paperboy... Today, I styled it myself, and I look like First Lady/Society Golf Type.

11) the best advice i've ever heard regarding a bad haircut: "A few days can make the difference between a bad haircut and a good one."

I don't think it looks bad! Give it a couple days to adjust to being cut and you'll like it better. Oh, but if your haircut lady severely screwed you, time for a new haircut person. Just don't go to any of those generic chain places! They always eff up hair. Go to Yelp.com and find a good place to go.

12) I like it :) ... but its definitely not an inverted bob like the picture. maybe you can go back and say "INVERTED BOB".

15) Product, product, product is what it is all about. It looks fine Betsy!! All you need is one week to let it grow just a hair and it will be perfect. I have never walked out of a salon with what I had in mind, but a week later it was all good!!!!!!!!!

16) Damn Betsy, you're still looking HOTT! Better than the dead-behind-the-eyes hair model anyway. Go rock that wedding. It's your day.

17) At least it's not that same dang Jodie Foster thing you kept getting down in FLA.

18) It's not what you wanted & not what you asked for, but it will grow. I feel your pain. However I don't think it looks bad... honestly! Was this your regular stylist or did you try someone new? Did you cry? I've done that before.

19) Ummm, Betsy, I love your new haircut - I thought it looked awesome at the wedding. But it possibly looks even better in your turn-of-the-century paperboy-wear - that's amazing :)!!! In your honor, I bought a nice Newsies/Petula Clark type hat today. Maybe we should start a gang for girls like us - can you come up with a name for it?
