Salon phobia

I've been living life like a hermit for too long, and undergoing self-neglect, letting my bushy brows turn into a wild forest. But for strange reasons, I suddenly decided to do something about myself when I spent a weekend away from hospital....


I WENT TO TRIM MY EYEBROWS AND CUT MY HAIR!!!!!!

Ok, the eyebrows bit was rather drastic, because they looked "bare" for a moment...haha. It's not nicely shaped and makes my face look clearer (dunno abt the looking less tired part because till now there are ppl telling me at work that i look tired...sigh..)

But the hair...sigh....quite a disaster.

I've always had the phobia of going into salons until I had rebonding done, even though I still feel fugly on the day I did it. But haircuts from then on wasn't too bad, since the hair is quite straight and not frizzy, so haircuts can't turn into my "usual salon nightmares". But once the roots start growing out to a certain extent, showing off my curls which I can't wait to hide, things do have a chance to turn disastrous.

And things can never get worse when there's miscommunication added in.

Told the hairdresser that I want to do something about my fringe. I don't want it long, but neither do I want it extremely short, and being Chinese, she assumed that I wanted the current cutie pie fringe that little act-cute Taiwanese/Japanese girls are having, and after a few snips, I was given Yang Chen Ling's fringe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I almost banged the wall when she was even attempting to cut it further, and told her to stop on the spot, telling her that I wanted a fringe at least till my brow level or longer swept to the side, not one about 2cm above my brows looking like those cutie wanna bes, BECAUSE I hate being associated with them!

But no use making noise anyway.

Now I've gotta live with this short fringe (I swept it to the side of course, but because my hair is naturally thick and frizzy, it isn't that flowy and tend to frizz a little...argh) and pray hard that it'll grow quickly to at least my brow level.

Dearie and Samya thinks it looks nice even though it was a mistake (grave one to me!), but till now, I can't get used to it, and have been asking Dearie 3 times a day if I look fine (which he so patiently answered).

Grrrrr....

I'll make sure I'll never get another china doll fringe like this anymore.
