A Time to Vent

Okay, I will warn you this is going to be a "bitch" session. So, I took Sophia to get her hair TRIMMED yesterday. We went to Cool Cuts where we always go. I asked the stylist to trim her hair half an inch and texture her bangs. I then sat down to wait. The first few times I had been there I'd stand next to the kids while their hair was being cut, but I have felt comfortable enough to sit in the waiting area.

Yesterday, my friend and I were sitting there waiting, and here comes Sophia after her haircut. It looked HORRIBLE!!!!! The woman cut her hair in like 8 layers and she basically looked like she had a mullet. It was freaking AWFUL! My friend was angry, and I just started crying. I hate to say it, but the haircut took me back to the orphanage two years ago! I balled and balled. There was just more to it than a BAD haircut.

So, the manager said she wouldn't charge me. I was like you're damn right you'r enot charging me!!! Pardon my French, but I was ANGRY! I felt like I didn't protect my child from someone who did her harm.

The stylist said, "Well, hair grows fast." UMMMMM, that is NO consolation, and Sophia's hair does NOT grow fast! She had just at nearly five years old gotten to the point where she could wear her hair in one very low pony tail!!!!

Call me shallow or whatever, but hair can make a person look like an entirely different person!!!! And, my little girl does not look like herself. It is not that I love her any less or anything like that - it just urks me that she doesn't look like herself. So, here's to three months of her hair growing out if we're lucky. I'd post a pic, but that just doesn't seem nice to Sophia. You'll see her hair in two very short pig tails with it full of gel to hold it since her hair is literally too short in the front and sides to even put in a rubber band!

And, for those who don't care much what their kids' hair looks like. Good for you - I'm not one of those people. Sorry, I'm just in a foul mood over this situation.
