Hairstrosity

Yes, I got another haircut. I got tired of bringing in this specific picture, even to hairstylists in the US, and not being able to get what I want. So I found a new set of pictures to show what I wanted.

Here's a link to the pics. I printed this one and the next one in the series.

Wow. That's a really long URL. Suckaas.

I think the hairdressers were having a little chuckle about me bringing in a picture of Alice Cullen for my haircut, but I could be wrong. I'm almost positive it was me they were laughing at, though.

Anyway, it seemed pretty easy to pull off, just taking off a few inches from my length, adding some layering, and then going at it with a flatiron. But no, it's just not that simple.

I could tell almost right away that she was not going to get it right. I don't know why the reluctance to chop my hair off, but she really needed to cut about two more inches off to get this thing right. I should have said something, but really at this point, I'm more curious to see how they mangle my hair than in actually getting a good haircut (which is impossible anyway). It's only ten bucks, so it's kind of worth it to have the bad experience.

So she didn't cut off enough hair to begin with. I did actually intervene and tell her to cut more off the back, because I really can't stand all that scrag at the back of my head and neck. Then this other chick washed my hair and they both dried it. Why Koreans feel that a person needs two people to dry one head of short hair is beyond me, but it happens every time. Next, the washy lady styled my hair, according to the directions of the other chick, who indicated the pictures. To my shock and disbelief, this woman pulled out a barrel brush and the hairdryer and started trying to make this happen with those totally inappropriate tools. It took like five minutes to do only a couple small pieces. I thought I was really in for it, and was eying (are you kidding, is that really how you spell eyeing?) the flatiron in the station behind us, willing her to wise up.

She wised up. Out came the flatiron and away went the barrel brush. But I almost started laughing when I saw what she was doing. Instead of setting the iron in my hair and pulling it down diagonally like she should have, she brought it straight down, then rotated it completely around at the ends, like a curling iron, to make these ludicrous boingy-curls. I got really masochistically excited at this point. I thought either she's got a master plan to make these Farrah Fawcett curls relax into a more straight sticky-outy style, or she just has no idea what she's doing. From her hesitance and fussing and the looks on her face, I guessed the latter and figured I should just remain amused, put my hat on when I go outside, and take a picture as soon as I get home, which I did.

Keep in mind I had to buy groceries before I went home, so this is what my hair looked like after having a winter hat on for about half an hour after I left the salon. It was a bit sillier at first. Don't I look disappointed?
