Rant about my butcher of a hairdresser

[MistyWitch]

So I went back to this hairdresser after a two year hiatus. She is a bit snip happy but decided before I was likely a bit meek and allowed her to do what she thought was best but this time I’d tell her exactly what I wanted as I was clear with my other (recently retired) hairdresser and always got exactly what I asked for. What a huge bloody mistake that was.
I went in with long hair, long hair that I wanted to maintain for two upcoming weddings. One of them my own.
She mentioned “above collarbone” when I sat down I said absolutely not, below my collarbone was as short as I’d be willing to go and pointed to the shortest length acceptable. I don’t suit layers, they sit wrong in my hair, it flicks out funny and just looks horrendous.
I now have a very short bob with layers and I fucking HATE it. I’m not upset, I’m angry. I have less than a year to regrow my hair and get rid of these stupid layers. I can’t cut them out as there isn’t enough length left to cut any shorter. I’ll be stuck frying my hair with straighteners in an attempt to style this abomination where before I could get away without straightening.
Normally I’m ok with complaining about a bad job but she is a family friend and a really nice woman. I just fucking hate what she has done to my hair. Help 😫

You wouldn't be posting this late at night if you weren't absolutely desperate. Unfortunatly, the only thing I can see to do is to

Sorry. Got a bit confused with the new site layout.

In practical terms:

You've got to go to somebody else to get a revision cut to make it at least something you can stand looking in the mirror with.

They might not even take off anything visible. Then let it grow. Pro tip, get over the counter minoxidil for men 5% and only use it once a day.

Your hair will grow like wildfire. Don't apply it within a centimetre of your hairline either front or sides or back however.

In the meantime, of course eat high protein, take biotin supplements, apply rosemary oil, do all the good things.

You'll be a beautiful bride!

The reason why I say minoxidil for men 5% is that it's the same stuff as minoxidil for women 3% but you pay the, "Pink tax" for it and it's much cheaper for the same stuff.

You need to tell her that this isn’t what you agreed or asked for!!! It’a not right!

Any recommendations where?

It's on Amazon UK Sons Minoxidil 5% Cutaneous Solution for Men, Hair Regrowth & Thickener Formula, For Hair Loss & Thinning, Reactivates Shrunken Follicles, Precision Application System, 1 Month Supply Made in Europe : Amazon.co.uk: Beauty https://share.google/6mCXad2hfQghxJtAs

Thank you.

Over the counter in all good chemists in France but there's the Amazon link.

Does the link work? I can get a three months supply (which is actually six months supply because it's the mens' one using only once a day) for about 30€ over the counter in a French pharmacy - I don't want you to get ripped off.

I don't always trust Amazon.

Eh?
Sorry but no, there is not an over the counter product which will make your hair "grow like wildfire" ! Hair growth is determined by hormones, genetics and seasonality too.
Please don't waste your money on yet more landfill.

Minoxidil does work in restoring hair. I must say, like you, I didn't really believe it at first but I was desperate, so I tried it.

I didn't really think that squirting a bit of greasy stuff into my hair night and morning would have any great effect but it did.

In fact, I overdid it and I got a bit too hairy all over. In the long term, it's not a good idea, unless you really want to commit to it but it's a bit of a cheat code to really get things going.

Thank you so much for this.
