I\'m beginning to HATE hairstylists.......I\'m so upset
ok as most of you know i am dealing with alopecia areata right now (I have a bald spot in the back of my head, the hair at the nape of my neck is gone). I had been growing out my perm, my doctor told me that I could get a relaxer if I wanted, but I just wanted to grow out my perm anyway. So two weeks ago I went to a stylist and he pressed my hair. It looked so healthy and thick and i got so many compliments on it. He recommended that I need to get my relaxer again because my hair would start breaking, blah, blah, blah, you know, the usual. Me being the punk I am and the trusting person that I am, I said ok. Mind you my hair was about an inch below my shoulder. So on Saturday i went in for my relaxer. His assistant did it. When she asked what style I was getting, I asked for a roller wrap. Then she said, "oh, he doesn't do roller wraps." ???? I had never heard of a stylist not doing roller wraps. Then she said he could curl my hair with some body with the curling iron. I just said ok, cause I was about to sit under the dryer and there's really nothing that I could do about it. So when he gets ready to style my hair I tell him what I want, and he says, "Oh I'll get another stylist to style your hair." And then he puts me in someone elses chair. so you know I'm already uneasy now. Then he says "oh, you need a trim." The female stylist who is going to do my hair now says I will trim it. She was like, when was the last time you had a trim. I just said I don't know. This ***** proceeds to CUT my hair like there is no tomorrow. I had to stop her and say, "I have alopecia and a huge bald spot in the back of my head, don't cut it too short." She then looks at my head and says ok. so this ***** was just cutting without even inspecting my hair. so when she finished, I saw my hair in the mirror, i couldn't tell if she had curled it tight or if she had cut it. everyone in the salon was telling me how cute my hair was. i had a long night Saturday so I feel asleep without wrapping my hair. I wrapped it sunday morning before I got in the shower and got so upset because I discovered that I had a BOB. My hair that was below my shoulder is now about a half inch below my ear. I told my mom about it and she was like "it is just hair, it will grow back, stop whining about it" and yelling at me and everything. I understand that but due to the fact that I have alopecia and am balding, sorry if I'm not able to understand people cutting my hair. Yesterday it was windy and my hair is so short, the wind blew it in a part that exposes my bald spot. I am so sad and I feel like I don't know what to do. People say that I should go back to the salon and complain, but that won't do anything. They can't give me my hair back. Someone said they might give me a free hairdo, but why would I go back to someone who has done something so horrible to my hair? I don't think I'll ever go to a stylist again.
Sorry this is so long, but I am so depressed..........
