...or, just go around in bright-colored leotard (think 80's Jane Fonda workout)with sweat band around forehead to hide the bangs. tell everyone you have the jamie lee curtis part in the remake of "perfect".

...or, maybe not (not a soul on earth would believe anyone would do a remake of that movie).

Hey Lori! How about a pic of your bangs?? I know that you won't show your gorgeous mug on the board, but why not just the bangs?

We want to see...c'mon!

And remember, it's just hair and they will grow out. Ummm...you didn't shave your bangs, riiiight??

I see women mousse their hair in the to stand up . Maybe you can do that to make it look like you did it on purpose.
Or you could do the preppy look and wear a hair band.

You guys are so sweet!! There will be no pictures Ms. Eggie! lol You're right Sea, they will grow out. I have cut them worse than this before! Ya think I'd learn a lesson wouldn't ya? lol See, what happens is that I get frustrated that they're so long and outta control, so I act with too much haste. The good thing is that the two people that I've been spending most of my time with lately won't care. My little niece Lisa just has her tiny baby hair, and my 2 year old niece Lily will just think that now I look more like her!

It's all good. Thank's for making me smile. I love ya'll too! (I stuck that "ya'll" in there for you Granny.)

There there, Lori. It's just hair. Get some of thos itty bitty clippie thingies and plant them smack dab in your bangs. Very avant garde.

Just be happy you have hair and it is healthy. I have poly cystic ovarian syndrome and it causes hair loss,there is nothing worse than being 38 female and almost bald...

There was an article in our paper this morning about a lady that took a gun and went looking for her hairdresser. She went into the shop and asked if she was there and they told her no but she would be in shortly. This lady has been a regular customer there for several years. So she pulled the gun and wanted $100 and they gave it to her, she left and they called the police. In the mean time, the hairdresser shows up and the gal shoots at the hairdresser's car. So she gets ready to leave and she shoots one more time at the car and hits the back window and then throws the gun in the car and leaves. The cops found her in another area getting her hair trimmed and paid for the haircut with $20 from the $100 that she stole. They arrest her as she comes out of that shop. They ask her why she did it and she said that the hairdresser gave her a bad haircut. hahahahahahaha

Granny, that happened right here in my own home town! So strange, I just don't get that kind of behavior.

I heard the story had gone national. What a way to get your 15 minutes.

Need a tip. I want to do some major color changing to my hair. It is medium brown, and I would like to change it to a honey brown with lots of blond hi-lights of various tones and shades of blond. I also do not want to spend 80 bucks on it like I did before, and not get what I want. Any tips on how to do it myself without breaking the bank?

Escapee, I've used the Clairol highlights kit (where you get color and highlight in one thing) with great success to go from dark brown to medium auburn with red highlights. It's fairly easy to use, and I got positive comments on the results. The kit runs around $20, IIRC.

Escapee, I have used that kit too and not had as great results. Left my hair with a faint orangish tint.
Things you need to ask yourself or the colorist. It sounds like you want to lighten your base. Do you want it be an ash/cool base or a red/warm base? Same with the highlights. If you want various tones of highlights, you will need to have the color foiled in.
I would start looking at tons of pictures. I would also sit down with the colorist and look at the various swatches of color to let her/him know what you are thinking.
I used to go to a place that did great color but was so expensive because it was a 'name' salon. I now go to this wonderful little salon run by Vietnamese women. They do everything spa pedicures, cut, color ect for so much less! I used to pay $80 for a haircut. Now I can get cut, base color and highlights for the same amount! AND they are really good.

we tried the clairol highlights kit with holly and it turned orange. and we went to a really good stylist who did a weave all over her head. it looked so natural. prisoner, must be more ash based, i found those kits work really well with ash based people rather than red based people. you could try the kit escapee, if it works well, you only paid $20. if not, then you go to the stylist, and pay the amount of the stylist. and it only cost an extra $20. i say, it doesn't hurt to try! and you can have fun with a friend doing it.

Hussy, I don't think Juju was trying to be rude at all. She's not like that. I think she was merely responding to your post that said

If you'd take a look at the health area of the board, there are women here who have it way worse than that. But, as you said, this is a hair thread and we come in here to vent, enthuse, and whine (if we need to, lol) about our battles with hairdressers. We even used to keep a scoreboard of TVCH vs. Evil Hairdressers :-)

The score, btw, in case anyone needs to know while I'm gone still stands at EVIL HAIRDRESSERS - 25, TVCHers - 31. I just can't bring myself to count Lori as an evil hairdresser.

See, I wanted something I can do myself. I have a lot of red in my hair, so anything that is "golden" or "burnt" I read as "orange". I don't want to be red. I want Jennifer Aniston's hi-lights. My haircolor is the same as her natural haircolor (from the first seasons) and I wanted something a bit more golden honey with some really light hi-lights, without the red/orange.

Escapee, since your hair is naturally the color of JA's...I would think getting golden honey/light highlights shouldn't be a problem.

However, I wouldn't take the chance to do it yourself right now. At least not until you find a colorist who can do it to your liking (meaning the results). Find out color/brand the colorist used....THEN try it yourself.

I'm wondering did the colorist tell you what color she used? (You mentioned above you didn't get what you wanted before). Did she do a color then highlights/weave?

I only ask because from what I've been told, if you have red based hair....it's tricky not getting that orange/reddish color to it. I'm always told to have an ash color...so not to get the red (but my hair is darker than yours).

I would take the advice above. Make it very, very clear you do not want any sort of red/orange/golden highlights. (gotta' be careful with that world golden...it sometimes means red to colorists). Might try using the term honey blond highlights. Like said previously, lots and lots of photos. (well, I guess one of JA would do).

Since this is a common problem (getting that red/orange), I would think calling any of the 800 numbers for brands like Clairol, etc. would be a help. They have probably heard this sort of question before and have answers for which color/product type to use. (?)

It's not that I don't want any reddish highlights, I would like a multi tonal with some med brown, a lot of golden blond, with a hint of Auburn Hi lights. I'd be fine with that. Two colorists I have gone to told me they would have to bleach me out and start from scratch. YIKES. It shouldn't be that hard. Maybe I am wrong.

i'm just bumpin' (sp?) this thread up.

i want to hear more about your hair!

on May 27, i had a hair make-over.....took 4 hours...i don't even recognize myself.

blame my sis' who planned the whole thing (even dh had his hair "did")

i have a digital camera (given to dh), that i tried to use. dh said it didn't work when he tried to post a photo (not of my new do...but something else).

more later....

first want to bump this up...then need help on how to post pics of new me with that old camera.

i'll tell ya' all about the story about having my hair did later. lots of fun...but the result? (from long hair, drabby brown to chopped short blond, honey blond, brown hair). looks way to young for me....these girls were in their 20's who did it but let them decide). not sure why...during the 70's and 80's i was so vain....now, "whatever" lol.

Abby, I hope that you figure out how to post a photo because your hair sounds just terrific.

I'm here looking for a photo of Kaykay's hair and Lum's, too.
