I thought Iâd take a bit off the ends, and now half of my hair is gone. Even looking at myself right now is bringing me down. What do you think I can do to regain my confidence? If something like this has happened to you, what did you do? Please help.
It happened to me too, I said 2 centimeters from the ends, and I literally ended up with a bob cut. I know itâs incredibly hard to wake up in the morning and look in the mirror. I was really relying on the blow dryer for a while to style it, it helps to some extent, even if itâs temporary.
I think you should file a complaint. I know that most hair salons take online reviews very seriously, so try writing about the situation on Google or Instagram. Maybe youâll get a compensation offer from there.
So did you show a photo or something about the model before the cutting, or did you just describe it verbally? They might have understood it very differently.
This is actually a very common situation. Usually, hairdressers tend to cut more in order for it to âlook healthy.â But in the end, your hair and your consent are what really matters.
Thank you all very much for the comments. I honestly hadnât shown a photo, I just said âa little bit.â I guess I need to be clearer next time. I was thinking about complaining, but I felt a little embarrassed; I donât know, it seems like I explained it poorly.
You say youâre embarrassed, but I donât think thereâs anything to be ashamed of here. No matter how much you explain, a worker has the obligation to listen to you and act according to your consent. This is not just about hair; itâs a matter of trust.
If the cut was bad enough to ruin your hair structure, intensifying serums or some medical shampoos for rapid growth may work. However, if you have a claim, you can apply to the Consumer Arbitration Board; itâs not well-known, but it can even be used for hair issues.
