My wife spent the last year growing her hair out to well beyond shoulder length, finally getting it to a point where she really liked it. It took months to get it there. Then we moved to NYC... her stylist works for Page Parkes so he was up here from time to time and did her hair, but last month he quit doing that. He recommended some new guy about 20 blocks from our apt. She had a major presentation in Houston on Tuesday so she went to get a trim Saturday morning. She shows up at our apartment about two hours later, crying. I think she was attacked or something, and dont even notice that she had a DRASTIC hairstyle change until she stopped crying on my shoulder. She went in, told the guy what she wanted, and sat back as his first snip with the scissors chopped off about 2-3 inches of hair from the left side of her head. She totally freaks out. At first he acts like its what she asked for the whole time, but after getting confirmation from the stylist at the chair next to him, he goes, "oh ****, man, I had a really rough night partying last night, lemme see what I can do" A couple of other stylists got on it and they repaired the damage, but in essence she went short and sporty. Yeah, I have told her how pretty she looks, that it will grow back, hell I even got her money refunded ($120, I almost pissed myself when I hear that) and got the manager on the phone so she could complain, but its going to be months before her hair gets back to where it should be and she hates it. I'm taking her to a funny musical tonight in a vain attempt to make her laugh despite the fact that musicals make me want to kill myself. Oh, and its my birthday. Ok, just venting. I'm not going to attack a little effeminate Chelsea hairdresser, but that hungover prick deserves an asskicking for making my wife cry. Is it so hard to show up to work sober / without the shakes???? Anyone else dealt with this with their SO? I'm just screwed, aren't I?
mateo, You need to post her pic - before and after and let the BBS decide if it is really that bad. J/k man - sorry to hear that.
just tell her its as if you're cheating on her with a whole new, more interesting woman. seriously though, i think you're doing all the right things. good job
Yeah like KaiSeR said, tell her she KICKS ASS... But for real, mine likes to let her hair get really long and then cut it all off... I get really pissed because I dont like really long or really short hair, but I deal...
Perhaps she could try a different salon and see if they can work in a different style. I will say this. If my wife is dis-satisfied with her hair do, I'm the one that gets the brunt of the complaints (like you), so I feel for ya. Just keep spoiling her and she'll get over it. Happy B-Day
Have those dumbasses weave in hair or add hair extensions at their own cost. Have them maintain them until the hair grows to where it was before.
you should take her to see "hairspray". /obvious can't let this thread slip past the first page of the hangout. too many clever comebacks. edward penishands? bwahahaha!!! sorry about the insensitivity, mateo. it sucks arse. haven't had an "SO" that has had that happen. i've had a haircut at school and ended up with about seven plugs in my head though (in homeroom before the school day got started). isn't the short hair thing in now?
I picked the wrong musical to forget about bad haircuts. www.shockheadedpeternyc.com Totally kicked ass, but one of the bad guys was a guy who creeped around with scissors. Of course, he used those scissors to chop off a young boy's thumbs, who bled to death on stage while his mom laughed. We laughed, too. She actually felt better afterwards - there's really nothing like watching a bunch of puppets die to music or watching a stuffed bunny steal a hunter's gun and go on a shooting spree before offing himself to bring a smile to a gal's face. As far as the short hair thing, I dunno, these gals on HDNet Bikini Destinations have some pretty long hair.
Is a wig out of the question? Or maybe a head scarf? Some of those head scarves really have some neat prints on them. You know, the funniest thing about this thread are the google ads at the bottom. "Your hair will grow fast" and "Faster hair growth, guaranteed!".
