You will not believe the foolish mistake that I made today /images/graemlins/wallbash.gif. I went to get a trim by this lady that usually cuts my hair. The last time I went to her was in Sept. right before I discovered this board. My hair was barely touching my shoulders so It's been about 4 1/2 months since she last touch my hair. Well all the signs in the world was telling me not to get my hair cut. She looked at me when I walked in and I had my hair pulled back in a pony tail in the middle of my head and my hair was still touching my back. I gained about 4 or more inches since Sept and she looked at me and said oooh! your hair is so long, I really did'nt like the way she said that and I felt a little uneasy /images/graemlins/perplexed.gif. To make a long story short I just took my weave out and I had a length that I was confortable with but my ends was a little thin. Due to the stress from the weave. I specifically asked her to look at my hair and tell me how much do she think I should take off she told me no more than 1/2 inch and I told myself that I could deal with that but after it was all over do you know that B /images/graemlins/censored.gif took off 3 inches OMG I feel like giving up I mean all those pills and product to get to where I was and now I'm back to square one again. My hair is now just a little passed my shoulders I'm soo disgusted I could just die. I could just whip /images/graemlins/whip.gifher /images/graemlins/censored.gif. Of course she had no hair and she said I can't believe that your hair grew this much since Sept. When she turned me around I just went off /images/graemlins/swearing.gif. I can't believe all of my hard work is gone down the drain. I picked up a piece of hair off of the floor for my new post soon. Now I feel naked I don't want to put weave back in my hair because my goal is to wear my own hair. All of you guys have truly inspired me to do so. I got the courage to go all natural and I was comfortable with my length to start off. I'm so depressed /images/graemlins/frown.gif I thought I could really trust this lady but I was wrong boy was I wrong and from now on I will be cutting my own ends and NO ONE WILL EVER CUT MY HAIR AGAIN. I don't know what to do /images/graemlins/confused.gif.

Oooooh Azaila, I am so sorry
I can totally understand why you are so upset right now /images/graemlins/angry2.gif. I am sorry that you had such a bad experience with this lady cutting your hair. It's a shame that a lot of hair dressers really do not understand the meaning of a TRIM not a CUT! I am acutally mad for you because I REALLY know how all of us here are working so hard to achieve our goals, and it's a bummer when you have a setback like this /images/graemlins/cry3.gif. I could go over to that lady and /images/graemlins/spank.gif her for you! All I can say is don't give up /images/graemlins/grin.gif. Consider this as a minor set back in your regimen. Your hair grew very fast (4 or more inches since Sept.) /images/graemlins/shocked.gif, and I am sure you will grow it again to where it was at in no time and longer. Just keep up everything you're doing. I know it's hard not to be mad, BELIEVE me. We have all had some kind of setback along the way I'm sure. So all you can do now is look forward to a fresh new start, and try not to think of the /images/graemlins/flyingwitch.gif that cut your hair.! By the way, I don't blam you if you start cutting your own hair, that's what I do /images/graemlins/cheers.gif. HTH

Hi Azalia, /images/graemlins/wave.gif
Don't feel bad girl. I know what you mean. I've been there time and time again. That's why for years, my hair never moved, because the hairdresser that used to do my curl perm would cut off as much hair that grew in. It was upsetting!! Finally I told her that I didn't want her "trimming" my hair anymore and she got upset at me! /images/graemlins/arguing.gif Well, that was the end of my curl perms! I cut my hair when it started to grow out and went natural for 4 years!
Fortunately, you don't have to do that. It's upsetting that she cut off so much of your hair. But look at it as a fresh new start with brand new, undamaged ends. Now you can do your own trims, like I do! Your hair grows really fast. /images/graemlins/clap.gif
So you'll gain that length back in no time. It's going to be o.k. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I really appreciate all of the support from every one /images/graemlins/smile.gif. God knows I need it. My mom was like why in the /images/graemlins/censored.gif did you cut your hair, your ends looked fine to me. I asked my bf how my hair looked and he said that he could tell that I got a hair cut not a trim and when I showed him that strand of hair he started going off at the mouth /images/graemlins/swearing.gif. He told me that it makes no sense that someone would cut that much off. Well I got up this morning and put my hair up and /images/graemlins/cry3.gif my pony tail was so skimmpy. I wish I would have taken pictures before the cut, but the last photo in my picture gallery my hair is shorter than all of those pictures I think. This is the problem my hair really grows fast but I had a sew-in and my hair grows much faster with a sew-in at least an inch a month. Jan 31 will be a month since my last relaxer and I don't see much new growth at all. Thanks everyone /images/graemlins/smirk.gif.

Each time I read a post like this I feel a wave of anger go through my stomach. I get so angry at hairstylists because they are NOT being professional at all - they're letting personal envy block their professionalism.
I think it's true of all of us on this board - no matter where we are with length -the minute we get that gut "uh-oh" feeling we have to be really brave and just turn around on our heels and walk out of the salon. We know what that warning feeling feels like. And usually the red flags there.
I have a feeling that soon we may all end up expert self-trimmers

This is the reason I taught one of my freinds to trim. She trims me I trim her and now I am showing my cousins how to trim. People get jealous of your hair and want to set you back. I was so mad reading you post I wanted to
/images/graemlins/fishslap.gif the person that did that to you!!! In the meantime enjoy the cut as best you can try some pretty styles and watch it grow back.

Thats happend to me so many times from the hair beautician to my aunt.
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy!!! /images/graemlins/poke.gif
Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy!!! /images/graemlins/poke.gif
I'm really sorry to hear what happened & that was a terrible thing for her to do. This is one of the reasons why I hate salons. Way back when, I had to learn the hard way /images/graemlins/wallbash.gif that all stylist are not there to take care of you hair, only to take your money.

I'm so sorry Azalia, that woman was cruel to take off the growth that she was so in awe of at the beginning.
I agree with everyone in that your hair will grow back again to that length and beyond. I just recommended a stylist to Nazul11 who badly needed one that she could trust to trim her and she came back very pleased. Its hard finding a stylist that really does JUST TRIM. I've only found that ONE person so far in NYC that I trust. How ridiculous is that?

I am very sorry to hear that! Girl I know it is hard AND it sucks! But your hair will grow back much healthier and it will make the transition a lot easier. I had the same thing happen to me before I let someone "trim" my hair she cut off about 2.5 inches then cut it lopsided so my regular beautician had to cut even more to even it out. But your hair will grow in healthier and even better. Don't be disheartened! keep that head up!!!! /images/graemlins/dance7.gif

I don't even know what to say beyond echoing the sentiments of all the other ladies posts. Your hair is growing in leaps and bounds and will be back before you can blink!
I am living in FEAR of getting my trim come the end of this month and I even TRUST my current stylist but I'm still afraid. You don't know how many times I've considered just not getting it trimmed at all. I tell myself I'm going to be very FIRM with her and make sure she's clear that I don't want more than 1/4 inch taken off no matter what but then I'm still scared it won't matter what I say.
I think when it comes down to it I will take a look at my ends when I take my braids out and straighten it and if they don't look bad I may just pass on the trim. *sigh* Why does this have to be so hard?! /images/graemlins/perplexed.gif Either way I'm taking a pic before I get my hair trimmed just so I can REALLY judge my growth.

I am sorry that this happened to you. You didn't even get to enjoy your new length before someone hacked it all off.
That is why I have been delaying my hair trim. I think my hair has grown a bit. It is much easier to make a bun and have all of the hair lie flat. My ends are not split, but the last two to three inches of my hair is not as smooth as all my new growth from last year.
I'd like to gradually trim it off because I don't want to go back to not having my hair long enought to do protective styles especially during the winter months. But who knows what will happen once I get into that chair!
It is really hard to know who to trust. It also is difficult to just walk out because we usually have to go through such hoops to get the appointment.

Azalia,
I'm sorry that happened to you. Your hair looks so healthy and strong in those pictures. To avoid this happening to you again I suggest you learn how to trim your own hair.
It's pretty easy to tell you the truth. Just gather small sections of your hair and cut the same 1/4, 1/2, etc length consistantly. You dont have to worry about cutting in slants like the stylists do because you're not cutting your hair in a style - you're just trimming it. Good luck... be thankful that you can grow 1" per month...You'll be back on track in no time.

I'm always pissed to read about this type of thing where people don't know the difference between a trim and a cut, but yours has incensed me more than usual, because I know from our e-mail correspondance I know how commited you are and very serious about your hair journey. Also I remember you were excited about taking your weave out to wear your true length. I'll keep your hair wishes in my hair prayers tonight. Use your instinct and judgement in the future, I know it's not your fault, you trusted that woman with those scissors and she betrayed you. Keep me updated with the e-mails I need a reason to smile in that god forsaken office.

Azalia, understand that you didn't make any foolish mistake! You used this lady before, so there was no reason for you to think she was going to ambush you. If I read one more post about how a hairdresser hacked someone's hair off, I'm going to scream!!!!
Like the others said, it sounds like your hair grows really fast, so I'm sure you'll get your length back in no time. 4 inches in 4 months - you go, girl! I'm so sorry that this happened, though. I'm throwing lots of hugs your way.
What can we do, short of threatening not to pay them, to stop them from hacking our hair off when it's not necessary and we didn't ask? It breaks my heart to read your post Azalia because it's obvious you put a lot of hard work into your hair.
Did she tell you why she disregarded your request, and HER assessment, that she only trim 1/2 inch? You're right, she was nothing more than a hater. Saw your gorgeous head of hair swing up in that shop and got pissed. It's a g /images/graemlins/censored.gif shame, it really is.

Oh, Azalia....
I cannot send you enough hugs here. Don't feel foolish at all. I had the same thing happen with a stylist I had used before many years ago now. I had gone to her for trims only and she was ultra-conservative. On this particular trip, I noticed that she seemed a bit distracted...like the chick had some issue going on. Anyway, she kept snipping and snipping...and talking, too. My stomach was in knots, then I finally said "haven't you taken enough?" She sure in H /images/graemlins/censored.gif had....4 inches and to top it off, she hadn't done a blunt cut, but some type of feathering. When I got home, I was afraid to look in the mirror. When I did, I was utterly ANGRY then I started to cry. After the tears, I went and got the scissors and cut off more to even up the mess she had made of my hair.
Girl, the positive is like someone said: fresh start and your hair grows really well /images/graemlins/angel.gif
I do agree with the others who said learn to trim your own hair and at the very least otherwise find a family member or friend who you TRUST to do your trims.
I would also highly suggest a MALE barber. I would not use anyone else.
From many recent threads and from what I've seen myself and heard from friends, I do believe that too many of the women stylists have too many issues and emotions which are sort of irrelevant to your hair trim. You shouldn't have to deal with such nonsense!
Much Love,
Jade

Good Grief! I hate to read posts like these. Gets me riled up. Faith sending out hugs. /images/graemlins/grin.gif I can't believe she would do that. If I had walked in and she eyed me up and made a comment like that I would have made some excuse...asked her to use her phone..call anyone and tell her there's an emergency I had to go. I tell you anything to get out of there. When the bells go off...never doubt, question, or second-guess them. EVER! I know easier said than done. But 1" a month is great, it'll grow back by the time summer rolls around. In all my life I have been to the salon 2x and both times they cut it all off. I learned to trim myself. It is easy to do. Take a small section and just nip the ends..nothing major. Don't be mad at yourself we've all been there. /images/graemlins/Rose.gif

Can you get a friend to clip your ends next time? /images/graemlins/confused.gif Definately don't go back to her.

I really appreciate all of guys I swear sometimes I feel like I'm closer to guys than anyone /images/graemlins/weird.gif I can't say how much I appreciate all the support. Thank you sooooo much. You guys are going to freak out when I tell you this I'm really ashamed in way. I know how to cut hair real well because I'm licenced. I just haven't done hair since 94 and was too lazy to do my own hair so I guess I can say It is my fault a little. I've been doing hair since I was young but got bored with it and never done hair again. Back when I was doing hair every one was into weave and that's basically all I did. I was never into caring for natural hair only when I was in High School and had hair down my back and my mom was in charge not letting me use heat at all on my hair and taking me to the salon every two weeks for roller sets. I was so intimidated by the fact that after 6 years I was going to be weave free and actually care for my hair again. I forgot how and when I discovered this board I got so excited. I'm real funny with who does my hair and this sylist always did a perfect job she never cut too much and it was always perfect. It is a trip when you gain a litte length and all /images/graemlins/censored.gif breaks loose. It feels kind of funny not having my hair on my back. Now I just feel my length touching my neck /images/graemlins/user.gif while I'm typing away. One only thing that really upsets me is my hair only grows that fast with a weave. I don't really have alot of new growth at all and the this month is just about over /images/graemlins/frown.gif. After my cut I thought about getting a weave again for about 4 months but I decided not to. I'm not going to let this B /images/graemlins/censored.gif rain on my parade. I just need alot of help when comes to my hair regimen. I went out and bought some Nioxin I know it dries your hair out but I was told that it helps with growth. I was going to use that for two months and then use my Elucence I purchased the clarifying shampoo"green", and the moisture balancing shampoo and conditioner. What do you guys think /images/graemlins/confused.gif. Thanks again for the support I feel a little better. But you guys know after a trama like that it takes time to heal my wounds and accept it. Much Love to all of you! /images/graemlins/rosebud.gif

Hi Azalia,
(((HUG)))) You have nothing to be ashamed of - whether you were licensed or not, you were a paying customer who specifically agreed to only 1/2 inch, not 3 inches. The one who should be ashamed is the licensed stylist who cut your hair.
It seems like you are off to a good start with a new regimen. I love Elucence products. /images/graemlins/smile.gif I can't say anything about Nioxin since I haven't tried it but I'm sure some of the other members have.
As for styles, your hair may still be able to grow as quickly as it did with a weave, if what made it grow was minimized manipulation. One of my favorite styles, esp. in the Arctic zone that is Minnesota during winter, is the phony ponytail/baggie trick that Adrienne hipped me to. If you click on her profile you can find the link to her webpage where she demonstrates what I'm talking about. I like the style because I can still moisturize my hair daily but leave the style in until I'm ready to wash my hair. I've noticed better growth with this style.
Good luck /images/graemlins/smile.gif

dang, azalia!!! /images/graemlins/cry3.gif
i really hate reading this!!! i'm so sorry that this happened. i know that it doesn't help much to hear that it'll grow back, but it will! i tell anyone that doesn't have a stylist they can trust to cut their own hair. i used to until i found someone i could trust. you can do bad yourself... FOR FREE... and it may not be perfect, but i doubt you will EVER cut more than you intend to!

i really hate reading this!!! i'm so sorry that this happened. i know that it doesn't help much to hear that it'll grow back, but it will! i tell anyone that doesn't have a stylist they can trust to cut their own hair. i used to until i found someone i could trust. you can do bad yourself... FOR FREE... and it may not be perfect, but i doubt you will EVER cut more than you intend to!
stay up, and holla if you need a cyber hug!!

I have been there, done that and bought the T-shirt. I too wore braids and grew my hair long. The first thing I wanted to do when I took the braids out was go to a beautician to get "Hooked Up". You know the story...she supposedly gave me a trim and cut it all off. I should have gotten a clue when I saw how "Toe Up" her hair was. I don't go to beauty salons anymore, I do my own hair, it's sad /images/graemlins/confused.gif The positive thing you have on your side is this board and people who genuinely care about helping each other out. Stay positive, stay posted and you will grow your hair back. Remember do not stress over the fact that your hair was cut, stress doesn't help /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I would also highly suggest a MALE barber. I would not use anyone else.

Jade, I'm with you. It might sound sexist, but the only time I had trimming issues, was when I went to a female stylist. I intentionally went to a male stylist when I got my trim and evening-out a month ago, gave specific instructions, and got just what I wanted. My husband even commented on this very subject when I left the salon.
This is not an indictment against the good female hairstylists that are out there, but I simply cannot take any chances.
Azalia, I am terribly sorry for what happened to you. In just a few months though, you will be right back and better than ever. /images/graemlins/smile.gif
