Yay! This is the place where I can complain. Yes, even about the awful haircut I got. For two years now I\u2019ve been trying to grow my hair longer. Under the instruction of my hair-stylist (feel like calling her a barber in the most derogatory tone possible, because that\u2019s how pissed I am), who I trust<\/span> trusted, I would go to her every 8 weeks for a trim. And surprise, my hair never grew any longer!<\/p>\n

This once I took matters under my control. I promised myself, I\u2019d not go for a \u201ctrim\u201d for six months. Meanwhile, I oiled my hair once a week (which my \u201chair-stylist\u201d had forbidden*), religiously. Someone told me to have flax seeds (which is in general good for your health, supposedly) in various forms. And my hair actually felt healthier. So, there it was, even if it was psychosomatic. And lo and behold, my hair was longer by a good 3-4 inches.<\/p>\n

About a week ago, I decided it was time for a teeny-weeny clean-up and shaping of ze hair. She complimented, \u201cyour hair has grown so\u00a0 well!\u201d Showed me the half centimeter she was going to get rid off from the front. And when I got home, I realized she has chopped a good 2-3 inches from the back! I was in tears.<\/p>\n

My bad (like all else in life, only I was to blame.) I assumed she was going to cut the same length from the back!<\/p>\n

I had a flashback, of my engagement day. I told the lady, I wanted very basic make-up because I hate the cakes they layer on you. No, she wouldn\u2019t listen. And I looked like a white, plastic mannequin. Ugh! I have pictures, you will agree. (And no, I will not post them here even if they can be digitized.)<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t it matter one bit to these people, what the customer wants? And I paid a bomb too! Double unhappiness. Actually manifold than double, because I\u2019m an above average person, when it comes to \u201cbeing unhappy when money blows up for something I didn\u2019t want.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why do I have no say in how I\u00a0 look? Besides, it brings up way too many other questions. Is there no concept whatever of \u2018customer service\u2019? Should I never ever trust a \u2018service provider\u2019? I don\u2019t ask to live in Utopia, but is it too much to expect people to understand I want what I want and not what they want. And I\u2019m not even talking about the broader \u201clet me live the way I want\u201d statement.\u00a0 Dress-designers, hair-dressers, make-up people, please stop telling me what I want to look like.<\/p>\n

This is once when I won\u2019t mind being called a drama-queen.<\/p>\n
