Answer 1

ask friends???

Answer 2

Oh my gosh! Didn't your husband say anything to the hairdresser? Oh, that's so horrible when you went through all that trouble to have everything good and ready for the photos on Monday...I feel so bad for you.

First get the full picture from your husband since you weren't there. What exactly happened to cause this mistake - it's hard for me to imagine that a hairdresser would go against what the client wants.

If after that it clearly shows it's a mistake on the hairdresser's part, you can go back and confirm what happened and demand a refund. However, if on the other hand, there was a misunderstanding or miscommunication, then there's probably nothing much you can do for now. Oh, I'm so sorry...

As for the photo, maybe your daughter can wear a pretty hat (with flowers or something girly) with her dress so the hair will be mostly covered. I've seen so many photos of little ones with a hat and dress on and they look so adorable!

Don't feel too upset about this (I know it's easy for ME to say), but like others are saying, your daughter's hair will eventually grow back. Try to keep your cool - smile; and everything will turn out fine :)

Answer 3

Go back to the salon and complain to the manager, owner. Try to stay calm, that usually helps a lot. If it's really butchered, and even fixing it will leave her looking like a boy, the owner should both fix it to the best it can be done and give you a refund. If you can't get the manager (who I guess did the cutting) to see reason, ask who the district manager is if it's a chain, and call them. But I'd go somewhere else to get it fixed, if it can be. Then make sure you only go somewhere you know is kid-friendly, maybe on recommendation of someone with a lot of kids.

For what it's worth, I always stayed when my kids' hair was cut. I didn't find their dad (or my dad for that matter, when we were little) paid adequate attention, knew how to calm the child, or made good suggestions to the stylist. The child can be insecure without mom nearby and squirm too much. It's scary for them, really! Cutting a toddler's hair can be scary and challenging for an inexperienced stylist, too (often their worried they'll slip and hurt them). Your presence might ensure a better outcome next time.

Sorry about the pictures. You'll laugh about it in a few years. It would've been funnier if she'd done it to herself.

Answer 4

Ya, your kid's hair is messed up. Ya, she's got pictures on Monday. But is it really worth getting all worked up about? Who hasn't gotten a bad haircut? It's not something that should send you into hysterics. Teach your daughter to have a sense of humor by laughing it off. In the grand scheme of things this is hardly an issue and getting upset about it will do nothing more than make your daughter insecure.

I can't imagine what she must be feeling with everyone going on and on about how bad her hair looks. :( Poor little girl! If it were my daughter I'd tell her that she's beautiful no matter what her hair looks like.

Answer 5

I would be very pissed.

When I was a child my mother took me to the hairdressers and she told them to wash my hair and curl it. When she came back to get me, they gave me two braided pigtails and curled the ends. My mom firmly stated this is not how i wanted my daughter's hair, please take out the braids and give her curls. Another hairdresser said okay and without any warning cut my hair into a bob. Not only was my mother mad but now I was pisssed! By then it was too late but I still wished my mom had cussed the lady out for doing that.


You have every right to be mad. Not only are you her parent but you are her advocate. At 3 she can't say how she wants her hair done so its up to you to make sure its done the way you want it.
Did your husband say anything while they were cutting her hair? Did you say anything on your way out? Your husband should have spoken up but he may not have been clear on what you wanted. Most men don't have a clue about our hair styles and things. I'm not saying he did anything wrong I'm saying that if he were made aware he would have handled the situation and voiced his concerns at the shop. Don't go back there to have her hair done.

Answer 6

At this point there is not much you can do other than try to make her look as girly as possible for her pictures. You can try a really fussy headband. Or try some hats. They may not look nearly as much like a chemo patient as you think. Just try to calm down - I know it is difficult - and try out different headbands, hats, etc and tell her how cute she looks. Don't get me wrong. I would be irate. But now that its done, you just need to focus on damage control. Oh and, this should go without saying, never step foot in that salon again.

Answer 7

There's nothing you can do really, once you've paid them. I would have raised a stink before forking over the 13 bucks.
Every little girl gets one bad haircut. I remember my husband taking my daughter to cut her hair when she was 5. She had hair down to her bottom. She came home with this bob style cut. I said how beautiful she looked with a huge smile and tears running down my cheeks.
Thank heavens it'll grow back. And it'll be a story you'll laugh about years later (maybe).

Answer 8

I would be furious. However you should take a step back. If your daughter notices that you are upset, it might make her upset. Her hair will grow back soon enough and all will be well. If you already didnt, make sure that the person that cut her hair knows how mad you are (not in front of your girl). If necessary, talk to their corporate or regional big shots. Nothing else you can do.

Answer 9

Personally, I would be extremely mad, but advice, don't be. When your daughter gets older it will just be a funny story that you can tell. She is only 3, so it's not like she'll be self-conscience about it! If you can, maybe get someone else to cut it and make it look more girly, and short hair can be cute on little girls!

Answer 10

make sure your careful about expressing your anger in front of her and hopefully your not telling her she looks like a boy... or saying it in front of her. You cant get her hair back but you can help her with her self confidence at a time when she will need it. She may have others saying things or teasing her she needs her moms support and you to let her know it will be ok. If she hears you say bad things she may become very sad and it could affect her for years to come

Answer 11

lol...I would be really mad too. My poor daughter will be two in November and she needs a trim in the back...this will also be her FIRST haircut. It's taken her 2 years to grow the little that she has I can't imagine someone just chopping it off. That's why I plan on taking her to a kid's salon...even though they are pricey. Hopefully I will get my moneys worth. :)
