Ok, but, find another hairdresser, who will do what YOU want, not what SHE wants. There has to be a ton of them around where you live!
Lol, but then I'd have to pay more than $12 for a hair cut! (I forgot to mention that part- I was in supercuts or procuts or something, and they never have the same staff there twice that I notice in my biannual visits The last time I got my hair cut there it went really well- it's a gamble. From what I've seen even wicked expensive hair places still fuck their customers every so often though.)
Honestly right now I'm thinking that when I do chop it all off and send it to locks of love,* I really honestly should just go for a haircut that I can do for myself. I have a friend who cuts her own hair and knows about that stuff and I'll prolly talk to her about it at some point, see what she thinks- I mean I basically
know she'll be like "Yeah, if you can cut your own hair, you should," but I'm more wondering what haircuts are simple enough that I can do them for myself but that would still look good. I'm sorta sick of blunt cuts (my hair's pretty fine and could use volume), so what I'd want might end up being complex-ish.
I'm thinking maybe something a little like the asymmetrical bob I was trying quasi-unsuccessfully for awhile back, but with some wicked long bits in the front even beyond the angling that I can fool around with dying and cool shit like that- very anime geek chic, I admit, but it could look pretty awesome.
*Other thing I could do is sent it off to "beautiful tresses," a similar chairty, but one for adult women with cancer, instead of children with conditions that prevent them from being able to grow hair (the idea that LOL gives free wigs to kids with cancer is actually not correct). It's an interesting catch-22 in terms of their hair requirements- locks of love requires 10 inches bare minimum (considering how slowly my hair grows, that's a big deal) and beautiful tresses only requires 8 inches, but they can't have hair with any color in it, and the bottom of my hair has been dyed (year ago, when I decided that I wanted to be blonde, for some reason). Not bleached, so it's OK for locks of love (home color and non-bleaching) but would disqualify me from
