I have had long hair my whole life, just above allow length. I ask for a trim, maybe 2/3 inches, and before I knew it I had over 5 inches of hair on the floor.
I was extremely shocked, as I have never had hair this short. Luckily, it does feel much healthier, but I felt like he hairdresser just did what they felt best rather then listening to what I wanted.
Also, a different hair dresser washed my hair, to the one who cut it. So the hairdresser who cut my hair didn't see my hair dry, and how I normally style it. Which I feel is an important part when getting you're cut.
Also, my blow dry had fallen out by the time I got home (20 minute walk)
