How long has everyone got to go before their hairdressers appointment?

Mine is on the 1st May as my hairdresser was very fair and phoned everyone in the order they had their previous appointments booked in. My hair is atrocious but I keep telling myself 3 more weeks!

I would quite like a change of style as so much of it feel out due to lockdown stress last year so I'm telling myself 3 weeks of extra hair growth gives them a bit more to play with. When are your appointments and what are you having done?

21st April. Last cut in December. It's not too bad now I've grown the shorter front layers out. Was worse in the first lockdown so I ended up doing it myself but not felt the need this time. I dye it myself so that's been the same

AuntieMarys · 11/04/2021 17:34

2 days. 3 inches off, full colour. Its gone past a root touchup!

heidihigh · 11/04/2021 17:42

I'm in on the 27th. So two weeks on Tuesday. I can't wait, haven't had it cut since august and it's a right mess!

Fembot123 · 11/04/2021 17:43

15th, cut, colour and silver tone ☺️☺️☺️

Yellowsubmariner · 11/04/2021 17:46

Tomorrow! I cannot wait!!

PickAChew · 11/04/2021 17:46

9 days and counting. Hasn't been cut since August and it's very heavy on my poor neck and the ends are horribly crispy, despite using no heat.

ConnieCaterpillar70 · 11/04/2021 17:48

Saturday and counting down the hours although I could only get a cut and not a colour Sad.

My hair was in a very choppy short bob last March........... now it's around 2" below my shoulders and I hate it. I'm the wrong side of 50 for long hair and I've got a permanent headache from wearing it up.

VerityWibbleWobble · 11/04/2021 17:51

Three days and those three days are going to feel like a lifetime Grin

CarnageAtTheStGeorgesFete · 11/04/2021 17:55

My colour and cut appointment is on the 22nd April so a bit far off , but I can only have it done on certain days due to work commitments.

I’m looking forward to it, as I’m beginning to look like one of the white walkers in ‘A game of Thrones’....

DieSchottin93 · 11/04/2021 18:05

I'm in Scotland so I was able to have mine done a couple of days ago. Last got it cut in November 2019 Blush It was right down to my hips, I had it cut to just past my boobs - the amount of hair on the floor at the end was pretty impressive Grin It was actually and inch or two shorter that what I'd imagined but my hair grows at a crazy quick rate. For me it now feels "short" Grin

tappitytaptap · 11/04/2021 18:55

1st May too. It’s not awful awful (I managed to get in an appointment right before Xmas and I have balayage styley grown out highlights anyway) but I’m looking forward to getting it done! Nails on Friday too Grin

Coffeepot72 · 11/04/2021 19:16

22 April - highlights and a trim, thank god the wait is over!

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 11/04/2021 19:29

I had mine cut on Monday morning (Scotland) and brought him a bottle of champagne to say thanks for getting me in so quickly!

Roominmyhouse · 11/04/2021 19:37

Wednesday. I’m not desperate as I have straight fine hair but the ends are tatty. Definitely going to have 3-4 inches off and see what she thinks of my home highlights! 😬

bluechameleon · 11/04/2021 21:23

Saturday 24th. DH is taking the DC to the barber at the same time so we will all look lovely that evening (hopefully!)

Pyewackect · 11/04/2021 21:32

Had mine cut really short just before the latest restrictions came in. Much easier with full PPE and we have to take a hot shower when we come off shift so it’s easier to dry.

SoftSheen · 11/04/2021 21:34

Tomorrow Grin Can't wait...

augustusglupe · 11/04/2021 21:40

Mines past root touch up too. Highlights/roots and a good 2 inches off.
Appointment next Sun 18th

shallIswim · 11/04/2021 21:48

27 April and counting!
So many friends have had hair cuts and dyes on the sly tho by hairdressers who've come to their homes. It's really pissed me off actually

Changingwiththetimes · 11/04/2021 21:49

April 30. And I needed a hair cut before Christmas! So chop chop!

Candyfloss99 · 11/04/2021 21:50

Goodness knows, no date for hairdressers opening again yet in Northern Ireland.

Silkiescat · 11/04/2021 21:54

13th April, DS has too. I have been cutting it myself since start of lockdown and last time I did it badly at the back as couldn't be bothered to do t properly and thought won't be seeing anyone. DS had his cancelled due to covid isolations and now looks like a sheep but he was very happy to be told he looked like a sheep. Prices are up but think they will definitely be earning those. There will be some exhausted hairdressers next week.

PollyThePony · 11/04/2021 22:00

A week and a half! I'm excited, although, I'd been meaning to grow out my hair for ages and lockdown has really helped with that, so not sure what I'm so excited for tbh!

ladygindiva · 11/04/2021 22:02

May 12th. My hairdresser is very good and in demand and I wasn't quick enough!

Bluesheep8 · 12/04/2021 10:44

About 5 hours. My pixie cut has not fared well since 29th Dec as it's usually cut every 3 weeks.
