here’s the deal.mom and i decided i should change my hair style .

I have naturaly straight shoulder length blonde hair.i was wanting to go with the curly look. So i was thinking of a perm .spirl to be exact. so my mom made a appt with a place i go to get facials done where they also do hair.So everythig was set at 3 today my hair would be curly.so then this morning i get a call from the place to make sure i was going and to get a better idea of what i was wanting done. my mom had to bring my brother to a soccer game so i talked to the women.She seemed very rude and stuck up . i know its hard to tell how a person is over the phone but she made me feel uncomfrotable .So then i tod her i wanted the spiral curl and she was like we dont do that type of perm here.She kept making it seem like i should cancel.I dont want to but i am worried now that my hair will end up looking like a poodle. Plus this nasty women would be the one doing my hair.Ihad already old all my friends i was going to get it done. so if i back out i look like a liar.But if i get it done and it turns out bad i will be really mad.plus its not cheap so dont want to blow money if it is gonna turn out bad and this women treats me like i am stupid.I want my hair to be done but i dont know what i should do. should i wait and go to my own hair dresser or should i go and have the chance of it looking bad and be treaten badley .i dont know .

Don’t listen to the twat who replied above. Obviously that time of the month.

Have you looked at images of other perm styles ? There are a few different ones. Google images might be a good place to start.

If you only have shoulder length hair, I doubt a spiral would be the ideal perm to go with. If you get a spiral, it is going to take a huge amount of length out, the result will be really short.

Maybe a soft wave would be more flattering to your hair length. It won’t take out too much length, and will be softer around your face.

Don’t ever hand your money over to some trollop who treats you poorly.

Make sure you are happy with the salon first, maybe ask your friends where they got theirs done (if you know of anyone). If the stylist is treating you like (email removed), she obvioulsy doesn’t want your business, so don’t go there.

Oooh! I’m a twat on my period ???

Neither is true. Although I am in a really terrible place right now and was in floods of tears when I said that. Still I pretty much stick by what I said. And it doesn’t matter in the whole scheme of things. But then what does????

Just go to a different place and get what you want done.

Polly is beautiful oi.

Also I don’t really like perms, you should just get a hair-curler thing and make it wavy ^ ^

My advice to you — find a hair dresser you trust and respect. If I were you I would not trust a woman who makes you feel that uncomfortable anywhere near my hair. It took me a long time to find a hairdresser I was actually comfortable with after all of my crappy hair salon experiences in the past, but now that I have her I would do anything to keep her. She’s switched salons a couple times and now finally moved into her very own salon 3 weeks ago. We’re so proud of her. And I follow her everywhere she goes. If she changes salons, so do I. Your hairdresser is like one of your best friends. Or she should be anyway. Cancel the appointment. You won’t seem like a liar if you explain to your friends the reason why you canceled and ask if them if they or anyone they know has gotten the same kind of perm you want done before and ask them if they can refer you to someone who gives quality perms and who is preferably more of a people person than this woman you are describing. Trust me on this. You won’t regret it. :)

I apologize shoob15. Unfortunately that happens to a lot of posts these days. Some people just aren’t very helpful at all. I don’t understand what they are doing on a help sight if they have no intention of helping you out, whether they felt your request for help was seriously important or not… the fact of the matter is it was important to you and you deserved the help that you asked for. Just hope you know not all of us here are like that, and we actually do aim to help. Hope this does not keep you from asking for help here in the future. Good luck and I hope you get the results you want at your hair appointment! Let me know how it goes.

Hahaha hope this wasn’t aimed at me! :O I wouldn’t stalk you round being a pain in the ***….And quite frankly I think this post looks quite nice with a bit of loving banter.

Welldone on your hair though, I chopped mine off yesterday and it’s look sweet.
