Im a customer.

Girl has come in with hair down to her bum.

Requested it's cut to the collar bone.

Stylist tied it in little pony fails and cut removed the bands and it's up her neck the girl hasn't seen it properly yet and it looks slightly longer in the front. They have taken her over to wash her hair.

Omg omg omg shes going to go mad! She's just returned from basin whilst I'm typing! That is not collorbone length they have fucking bobbed her!!

@HappyGowerGirl

The police were pissed off they'd been called for a non-issue. I went away with shit hair and without paying. The police officers agreed (when we were outside) that my hair looked nothing like the picture I'd taken in. Grin

I would go and ask her if she's okay (which she clearly isn't). It will give her the opportunity to voice her feelings to the stylist, perhaps via you! Poor girl.

AlonsoTigerHeart · 17/07/2018 13:23

I went from bum length to a Bob once, I asked for a Rachel(friends)my hair is big and frizzy it looked awful
I thanked her, paid, tipped and cried In bed for four hours and refused to leave the house.

Pipeup · 17/07/2018 13:23

@EdinaMonsoon great idea! God I hope she didn't have it to be ready for her graduation

DrDougieHowserMD · 17/07/2018 13:24

Oh no! Poor girl! I really hope she does actually kick off. If she's anything like me (and many other posters it would seem) she will go home and cry instead. A place that expensive really should do the job right and be pulled up on it when they fuck up.

LadyPenelopeCantDance · 17/07/2018 13:24

That’s awful. I hate going to the hairdressers for this reason. Regardless of the price of the salon, they never seem to listen!

WhenEnoughIsEnough · 17/07/2018 13:25

Can you not just look over at her and be all like your hair is gorgeous, it looked lovely when you came in but this really suits you. Might make her feel a bit better.

Pipeup · 17/07/2018 13:25

No What I meant was he's talking about a graduated bob!

I agree

How old is she, OP? You keep referring to her as a "girl" so I assume she's quite young?

DontOpenDeadInside · 17/07/2018 13:25

Has the stylist mentioned it at all yet? Hope she's brave enough to refuse to pay (I'm not).
Last year I thought I'd treat myself to some subtle highlights. My hair was bright yellow. Was going on holiday in 4 days so had to pay again to get it fixed elsewhere.

Justanothernameonthepage · 17/07/2018 13:25

Poor girl. Can you quietly ask for the manager and prewarn them? Just say you clearly heard X ask for it to the collarbone and it appears the hairdresser misunderstood. And you wanted them to be aware.

Shumpalumpa · 17/07/2018 13:26

they have fucking bobbed her!!

Grin

OP, can you get close to her? I would advise her not to pay a penny.

RockingDuck · 17/07/2018 13:26

....but how short is her new bob???? like jaw? bottom of ears? middle of neck?

itchyknees · 17/07/2018 13:26

Oh that’s shocking!

AWomanIsAnAdultHumanFemale · 17/07/2018 13:26

If her hair was down to her bum, chances are her hair grows fast. She wanted it collar bone length and it’s at her neck? That’s a couple months growth. It’ll be collarbone length in no time. This isn’t a disaster.

FilledSoda · 17/07/2018 13:26

omg I'd have to say something to her.

9amTrain · 17/07/2018 13:27

Oh my god! Help her before she leaves!

Pick her hair up and clip it back on! Do something!

Pipeup · 17/07/2018 13:27

Sorry she's a young woman she's looks no older then 20 I would say between 18 and 20. I have given her the "I know" smile.

Poor thing, no wonder she's close to tears Flowers

OftenHangry · 17/07/2018 13:28

OH MY GOD. The stylist wants to give her "Can I speak to your manager haircut"
(graduated bob)
I sincerely hope she will use her new powers

Nousernameforme · 17/07/2018 13:28

No its not a disaster but at the same time it's not what she asked, and will be expected to pay for.

Shumpalumpa · 17/07/2018 13:28

Why pre-warn the manager?

Help the girl.

stressedbeyond123 · 17/07/2018 13:28

say something to her quickly, before she leaves.....do not let her pay for this hairstyle - you have to be her mentor now and talk her through this!

TeeBee · 17/07/2018 13:28

I would say to her in front of the stylist 'Didn't you ask for your hair to be cut collar length?' Help her say what she needs to say.
