My old stylist... my hubby knew her growing up and used to call her the black pocahantas... anyway, he suggested I go to her shop... she has long mbl hair... that beeyotch did NOT want ANYBODY ELSE to have long hair. My hair has always been at LEAST apl... this ***** took me all the way up to barely shoulder length... said my ends were FRIED... it wouldn't look good when she did it if she left the ends raggedy.
She always wanted to cut my hair... I made the mistake of telling her the first day I met her that I wanted to have hair just as long as hers... she smirked and then ended up "trimming" about 4 inches off.
Now, my ends i have come to realize grow at different times... the left may be longer and then in a few months the right has caught up... Now, I am about an inch away from BSL, and I can't WAIT til I get up to MBL, so I can march RIGHT BACK UP IN THERE, and tell her I just want a wash and wrap... no trim until I come back for my touch up in a few weeks, and then I'll just never come back.
She could STYLE, but jealousy ruined it for her... even my step mom doesn't wanna go back, because she ALWAYS ended up getting her hair cut. It's been 1.5 years and and my step mom hasn't grown an inch.
What would you have said, OP, if the mom hadn't stepped in? I was thinking something like, "Girl, you better ask her mom before you touch her hair... you know how folks be acting about their kids..." Like to try to play it off so she doesn't get all ghetto with you, but still helpin the girl to get off the hook? Or is that a little too nice?
