How in the hell did she confuse 1/4" and 4"? She did that out of jealousy

OP: I'm really sorry to read this. I was doing a search on flat irons and came across your welcome thread a couple months ago. I thought your hair looked nice and healthy (although you were flat ironing everyday). You're not still doing that are you tisk tisk.
Anyway now I see this happened. The stylist didn't even give you decent style. She just chopped awayBut like others have said in a few months it will be back. Take heart.
I'm sorry that your hair cut was jacked up but I hate to see you group all black people together in one big melting pot. We are the only people who do that to our own. If we have a bad experience with another AA we will completely stop going to AA owned businesses. Instead of realizing that our experiences are just that, our experiences and they dont reflect the experience that we may have with other AA businesses. You wont see Asian people, white people or ____ people saying that because they had a bad experience with a ______ (their own race) that they wont step foot in a _______ business again.
I hate hearing that mess from my own people and I see alot of that on this site. Every black stylist aint jealous because of your texture or length (thats such an immature way of thinking and it falls into colorism) how about YOU (you should never just jump into a chair out without researching a person) picked a bad stylist. How about that INDIVIDUAL stylist did not possess the skills needed to satisfy your needs? The responsibility falls on TWO set of shoulders (of course more so on the stylist) but you cant fully escape your part because you jumped into her chair instead of waiting for your normal stylist. Now you want to dog out a whole race of people in a particular category because of your experience with one (or a couple). Please believe that those sacred white salons have just as many inadequate white stylists as black owned salons with black stylist stylists.... its across the board. Its an individual thing, NOT a race thing, its about that individuals training and skill level. Its up to you to do your research.
This isn't the FIRST bad experience I have had with a AA stylist and I'm not the ONLY person here that feels this way. This website has what? Over 60,000 members and YOU are in the minority so you do the math. My regular stylist IS AA but now choses to work in an "other" salon. So please go piss on somebody elses post. My hair just got hacked off and I am not in the mood to be lectured.
My "lecturing" post was to everyone and anyone that feels that way. Honestly I feel bad for you guys that think like this because you allow yourself to believe the hype. And while I wasnt trying to downplay your precious hair, honey bunches, I was just pointing to an underlying subconscious that is present on this forum in some of the post. Yours just happened to be the post I commented in concerning it. Also, I am free to *as you put it* "piss" in any thread I wish. I have never cared nor will I ever care if I go against the grain and end up in that *miserable
* minority you speak of
I never had a follow the leader mentality so I'm ok with that. I have my own drum beat that i march to thank you very much

There is a disturbing propensity for certain "setbacks" to plague long haired BW usually involving having several inches of hair "accidently" cut off. Yes, I've seen non Blacks complain of abuses from stylists, usually involving hair dye, but rarely do they complain of having several inches-feet of hair cut from their heads w/o their permission.
Bella is hardly the 1st or last to experience this (I know of one other person this week who ended up w/ far more hair gone than Bella in similar circumstances) and to pretend there's no correlation to AA stylists and long haired BWs becoming visibly less so is to be in denial. In many ways, these (too) frequent incidents are partly why BW "can't grow long hair" they literally have it cut off their heads when they sit in a stylist's chair! I know what condition Bella's hair was in immediately before she got SCALPED....there was no "damage" or any other excuse that justified what this person did. Research will do you no good when your back it turned on someone w/ scissors...the hair is gone and it was done against her wishes.
I've been a member here far too long and have seen the hairdresser comments too often to think it's ALL in people's heads. Nor do I think it's an issue of colorism either, at least on the part of the CLIENT. The color/length/texture-ism, if it exists at all in these sad tales, is on the part of the scissor wielding stylists! Bottom line, no stylist has a right to DICTATE to their clients and make decisions on their behalf w/o their assent. They are service providers and if they consistently provide poor service, it should be made known.
How many naturals WITH LONG HAIR are running to salons, esp AA ones?I surely ain't and I know many who'd rather eat dirt than do so. Any guesses why that might be?
If you dont see this attitude of *all* black stylist are like this and *all* black stylist are like that as one that reflects social steretypes and colorism then thats your fault.QUOTE]
Did anyone on this board say *all* black stylist? I am sooo glad you are not my hairstlylist, because if you listened as well you read I would be bald..
Geez...
I'm not trying to be rude, but there are hateful, jealous AA stylist out there. I can't remember the name of one poster but she put it so well: "A lot of AA women become hair stylist so they can exorcise their demons on our hair" That stuck with me because it is so true!
