I've always had long hair. To date, my hair already touches my waist but it has grown this much cause I no longer trust stylists here in Manila...
dilemma # 1
bangs looked good on me since high school and i asked a woman from the parlor to just cut my bangs. as in straight bangs, not layered bangs... but it turned out that she insisted what she wants. A layered bangs that made me a gladys guevarra look-alike! Since then, ako na lang ang naggugupit ng bangs ko!
dilemma # 2
when i was younger, i've had a problem with a certain brand of shampoo. my mom would always buy this brand even if i keep on telling her that it doesn't suit me well. i'm having dandruff with it... when i went to the salon, that woman kept on telling me that I have flakes all over. she was like repeating it over and over again that it annoyed me. there were like other customers seated just meters way from me and they probably hear what this hair cutter has to say... i know, having dandruff is just so embarrasing...but the thing is, do i deserve to be humiliated that way? they get paid for the services, not for humiliating their customers.
dilemma # 3
some salons would try anything and everything to offer you some of their services... i refused the offer primarily because i didn't need the treatment... but they kept on bugging me... they just stopped the moment i told them that if it's for free, i would gladly accept the offer.
dilemma # 4
i told the stylist that i want a layered haircut which is not quite short... i trusted her but after a few minutes i just felt that she had cut my hair so short at the back and long layers on the side. i looked like a total freak... i ended up cutting it short so as to avoid other people from teasing me!
dilemma # 5
i was up for a trim and this lady receptionist told me that i have to pay them double their original price because my hair is a bit long. i just asked her why and she couldn't even tell me the main reason. it was all explained to me by their senior stylist. they're charging me that amount because of the electricity that they'll be consuming to blow dry my hair... well, just to end that conversation, i asked the senior stylist to just cut my hair 2 inches minus the blowdry!!!
with all these things that had happened in the past, do you think i would still be able to pay the nearest salon a visit? no way!!! i'd rather grow my hair and would rather ask my friend to trim my hair at least once a month...
there are a lot of women who are so fortunate enough to end up with the right stylist. as for me, it's always bad luck!
