To want to just have a hair cut?

EverythingIsTicketyBoo · 15/09/2013 23:07

I haven't had one for over a year Shock I didn't realise it had been that long till I sat down and thought about it. I last went and was talking to my hair dresser about ttc #3, that baby is now asleep upstairs. Since I realised it had been that long I have become obsessed with trying to get at least a trim. .I can't seem to find a time when I can do it (they always run late and don't fancy BF ing halfway through a cut) the only mobile one recommended to me is a twat someone I'm not keen on,, I don't want to try someone I don't know in case it goes wrong

Wibu to pop it in a pony tail and just take a couple of inches off the bottom (it is very long). I don't want to try the MN cut, I don't suit fringes or mullets Grin

Rant over, as you were.

I haven't had a haircut for about 15 years. I do as you suggested - ponytail and chop some off the bottom. Don't have time to go to hairdressers, and they always seem to get carried away and cut it shorter than I'd like anyway.

don't all mums trim their own hair!?

is there nobody you can leave the children with so you can nip off for a cut?

NeoMaxiZoomDweebie · 15/09/2013 23:12

YABU I did it and ended up looking like Suzie Quatro! Go on Facebook and search for more mobile hairdressers...just post that you want one...your local selling site will have people who know them.

I know a fantastic mobile hairdresser who I use, she s extremely reasonable and really lovely. Based in Milton Keynes though

Ooh selling site, didn't think of that. DH can have the older 2 but lacks the facilities to feed the baby, and I can't seem to be able to express enough for her (have been able to in the past)

Grin arf @ Suzi Quatro, sorry to laugh, but I do think that's how I will look if I try it.

There was one I used to go to and no matter what I asked for I always came out with the same (too short) cut, I think this is why I have no confidence in choosing one.

Aah, Piglet that would have been perfect if yours would commute about 100 miles north Grin

DON'T do the haircut, I did, never again!!!

pigletmania · 15/09/2013 23:24

Oh no I don't think she goes that far. She only charges £15 for cut and blow dry and does a fantastic job, and listen and does wnt you want

She sounds perfect Piglet (apart from the distance of course) that's what I need, a northern one of those :)

Phone the hairdressers and ask what their least busy day is.

Then just get a dry trim or a wet cut (having already fed the baby)

I honestly think it may sound more difficult to you than it actually is.

I popped into my local barbers last week for a trim across the bottom ( I have long hair too). Took 10 minutes max and was only £9! I'm sure your DH could manage for that long...

meganorks · 16/09/2013 00:26

I went with 10wk old this week. Fed before I went and tried to get her to sleep on car seat/pushchair but failed. Remarkably she stayed calm aside from a little winge where I rocked her in seat still and then she slept. Might not be as bad as you are thinking. Unless you go yo a really trendy hairdressers....

BlueStones · 16/09/2013 13:26

I might try a barbers, pickthatupplease! Are they used to women going in? I get so sick of paying upwards of £50 for a ten-minute trim at female salons (and being pressured to have £10 "treatments", and then having them add another £10 for a bloody blow-dry which I don't even like ... rant rant rant)
