I just got a butt-ugly haircut.

Goddammit. I'm so pissed right now. My hair hasn't looked this damn ugly since my dad used to give me buzz cuts in 1969. I look like a radiation victim.

Didn't have time to wait for my usual barber, so got his coworker instead. Told him what I wanted - he nodded and smiled - then did what he goddamn felt like doing anyway. Goddamn butcher.

Of course he won't let you see what he's doing till he's all done, the rat bastard.

@#$%^&*+@!!!

1. Bad haircuts are so distressing, but it will grow out eventually.

Is it possible to have someone else 'fix' it?
:hug:

5. Nothing left to fix.

Skinhead, basically.

2. I feel your pain

My regular cutter is booked solid right now, and I'm beginning to look like Sasquatch (the legendary beast, not the DUer).

3. Can you shave it all off?

It's summer, after all, and it feels fanTAStic.

4. Voluntarily bald?!

Hmmmmmmm........naaaaah. Thanks for the thought, though.

6. I'll enjoy it for you, then.

8. Didn't anyone ever tell you....

'bald' is sexy? Especially when you wear it like a badge! Go for it. It can't be any worse than 'botched', can it?

11. Bald is not universally sexy.

Some of us look like a giant thumb.

7. It was meant to be.

Relax, and enjoy it.

You'll save lots of money on shampoo, too! ;)

9. I had the grand-daddy of all bad haircuts

I went to the Hair Cuttery (bad sign to start), and got a new employee (as in first day new). Now, I like a pretty basic cut, short on the sides and back, longer on the top and cut so it can stick up/out.

I normally have a rzor used to get my hair down to the right size, but this woman decided to go right to scissors. She then proceeded to cut off tiny, tiny amounts in random clumps. After 45 minutes in the chair she said she was finished, and my hair looked almsot exactly the same as when I first walked in. Naturally, I told her I wanted it shorter, and she promptly went back to the scissors.

I sat in that chair for 2 and a half hours.

Finally I just got tired and told her it looked fine when she said she was finished. I drove home to tell my wife this story. As I'm speaking, I notice she's looking at my head in horror. Finally, I asked what was wrong.

"Have you looked at your hair?"

One half of the back of my head was a round cut, the other half was square. I had clumps on my head where the hair was a 1/4 inch long and other clumps of almost two inches. The hair on one side of the back of my neck was visible from the front; the other side was completely gone.

I was livid.

I went back to the place, asked to speak to the manager, and demanded they fixed this cut. She gives me back tot he same person who "cut" my hair in the first place.

After I sit down I explain to her that this time I wanted her to use a razor on the sides and back to even everything out and to blend it into my hair on top. We went over this a few times, as she had some issues understanding the word "blend".

Finally, we reach a mutual understand, and I am hopeful everything is going to be all right. She picks up her razor, turns it on, and approached me.

BZZZT!

She put the razor straight through the middle of my hair from forehead all the way back to the bottom of my neck.

At this point I completely lost it, had a major "discussion" with the store manager, and had to settle on going home with no hair whatsoever.

It didn't help when my wife started laughing.

10. If it's any comfort at all,

hair grows faster in hot weather. Just be sure to wear a hat when you go out to avoid a sunburned head! And if you haven't already, speak to the owner of the shop where you got the bad cut. It will make you feel better to let off steam.

12. I can always tell when my friend Mike has received a bad haircut

He wears a hat for three weeks.

13. Well could be worse

You could have ugly butt hair

14. Harleydad got one of those once.

I sure do know what you're talking about! He looked like Charlie Brown. It was an $8 practice-on-me deal at one of those chains. Yeah, they gave him bad haircuts before that, but this one beat them all. He told his coworkers that he only paid $8 and they all said he should probably pay more next time. (Imagine that -- he thought I was just picking on him!) So he started going to my hairdresser ($15) and got good haircuts from then on.

The good news is that it only looked really bad for about a week. That was about 10 years ago and we still smile about it. We actually have a picture of it. :D

Yep, it sucks to get a bad haircut. I hope it grows back quickly for you.
