Hi everyone, guess what? My sister's an asshole!

[regala_electra]

Yeah, my sister's an A-S-S-H-O-L-E.

Krystyna (because I'm throwing a fucking FIT right now and fuck her, there's no cutesy 'K') has totally, totally fucked up my hair.

See, she's going to school for cosmetology and my mom was crowing about how wonderful she is at cutting hair and oh, I should totally get her to cut my hair because she's the bestest.

Well, on Saturday, she offered and I told her just a little - less than two inches.

She cut off a bit more than that. And she cut an additional 1/2 off on my right side, so my hair was lopsidded.

I was fucking pissed. So she tells me I can either get it cut shorter or I can get it angled. I ask her repeatedly if she knows how to do that, just a little to even the sides. She says yes.

I finally get home from work today. I got my paycheck, but the bank was closed and I'm in a sour mood.

So she goes, I'll finish it. Fine. Fine. It'll be at least balanced.

She doesn't wet my hair. I ask her if that's even possible to cut hair w/o wetting it. She says it's fine.

She starts doing it. I tell her she's cutting off a lot more than she should.

Krystyna finishes. I look into a mirror.

I AM GOING TO FUCKING KILL HER!!!

It's choppy and horrible and way too short in the front, and uneven and a fucking mess.

In order to repair the damage, I'm going to have to get it cut shorter than shoulder-length and it'll take two months to repair all that I lost.

If I don't get it PROFESSIONALLY cut, I have to wear my hair up in a ponytail the entire time I'm at WriterCon. I feel like crying. She's such a fucking asshole.

And when my mom saw what she had done, she agreed: it's horrible.

But then chided me for being pissed because I should kiss my sister's ass for destroying my hair.

Now, my sis works at a salon. So, she should offer to have someone there fix my hair right?

Nope. My mom called her on her cell (after she destroyed my hair, she went out with her boyfriend), and she said, "Oh...no. Not unless [I] take off work on Wed. to get it fixed."

FUCKING ASSHOLE!

So. I have to go get it cut much shorter than I've ever wanted. Now, for some people, this isn't a big deal. For me it is. The shortest I've ever had my hair is shoulder-length and that was because of a botched up job. I cried for three hours when I saw what that person did to my hair. I take my hair pretty seriously. I hate a lot of things about myself. My hair is one of the few things I like. And I keep it simple: long. That's it. Long and even.

NOT FUCKING CHOPPY AS ALL HELL AND LOOKING LIKE I GOT CAUGHT IN A GODDAMN LAWNMOVER.

She's dead. I'm either taking a fucking scissor to her hair tonight or I'm beating her to fucking death.

I am so fucking angry right now.

I really don't want to go to WriterCon. Like, I almost want to cancel my tickets angry.

I'm so miserable right now.

I'm so know what you mean about taking your hair seriously. Generally crying and screaming makes me feel a bit better. *hugs* I'm sure WriterCon will be fine.

But, yeah, can I help mangle your sister for doing this to you? Cause, dude, she works in a salon? As in, she's being paid to possibly do this and worse to people? She needs to be stopped, and then made to pay for messing up your hair.

*huggles*

She's a total ass.

I'm so sorry. My friend butchered my hair once, but I couldn't really blame her because I encouraged her to cut it. After fixing it, it was the shortest I've ever worn it, but I didn't mind too much. I can only imagine how upsetting it must be after you've grown and maintained your hair at the length you have it.

Have you ever had the desire to get a short, funky hairstyle? I realize you love it long, but until it grows back you could do something really different. It doesn't make up for the fact that your sister ruined it and she doesn't seem to care, but it might ease the pain a bit.

I think you have lovely hair in general, so I have a feeling that even a short cut will be flattering on you.

I don't look good with short hair because I have a short, stumpy neck (one of my worst features). With short hair, it looks like I have no neck.

It isn't flattering at all sadly. I look like I cut my own hair without a mirror. It's hideous.

::hugs:: I can understand you, sweets. My hair was down to my bum 2 years ago and when I got it cut, I cried.

I'm so sorry your sister did that to you, hon. That really, really sucks.

Is there anyway you can just get it layered or something? To keep the length but fix the ends?

I think any court would find your commitment of sistercide, in this instance, a not-guilty. I'm so sorry about your hair - I'm the same with mine and it totally freaks me out when my hair is too short.

Worst case scenario, you pony tail it for two months. Luckily for you, with your bone structure, you can pull that look off easily.

Hang in there. It *will* grow back, it'll just suck for a little while.

Thank you so much, Alley.

I went to the hair salon today and it's so much better.

I can't blame you for wanting to kill her. Your long hair was gorgeous.

However, since there's nothing you can do this is my suggestion - go to a really, really good saloon and have them fix it for you. I know what you're saying about the neck, but a good hairdresser knows how to bring attention away from your less outstanding features and focus interest on the good. Your sister is still a jerk, but I think you could look incredibly cute.

Thanks so much, a2zmom. I did go to the salon and thank goodness, it's so much better.

I'm so glad. And I'd love to see a pic. Your hair is such a beautiful color - a real strawberry blonde, which is fairly uncommon.
