Yes I have. I was 5 years old, my mom wanted my hair cut, and she wanted it short so my hair could grow healthier. I looked like a boy and was called a boy when I didn't wear pink or earrings.

A long time ago. And I have fab hair ever since after that.

When I was in grade 10, I cut my really long hair off (it was on a whim), wanting a really cool bob. The hairdresser ended up giving me a mullet. I'm still trying to figure out how she got that from the picture I brought it as the model's hair was all one length.

I've wanted to. Most hairdressers tend to chop off more hair than I ask them to.

Thankfully, my good friend became a hairdresser, so I go to her for my haircuts. The conversations are more comfortable, and she knows if she screws up, she'll never hear the end of it.

yes I have. I used to wear my hair really short, and have been trying to grow it out forever. I didnt get it cut at all (not even trimmed) for like 3 or 4 years. So I finally decide that I need to go get it TRIMMED, and the lady takes off like 6 inches. I was incredibly upset, and yes..im pretty sure I cried...alot.

my dad's old girlfriend gave me a pixie cut when i was 11. it looked terrible on me, and since i still had a kid body everyone thought i was a boy. i could have killed her.

Yes i did! my dad cut my bangs in Junior Hight and I do not know why i let him! lol..even worse I have cried about my eyebrows! I get so crazy about them that when they are not done the correct way i lose it..

I wanted a cute pixie cut back in high school but this stylist just cut is all off and I had spiked hair instead. I wanted to cry but I didn't and I just ended up angry instead. So now my choices in haircuts and coloring are very...selective. It will take me two weeks to decide on anything new changes to my hair. lol.

once when i was 4 and got a "boy hair cut"

and a few years ago, after i spent years growing out my hair to below mid back length, i went iN for layers and told her specifically,dont take inches from the length, i like it long. i left with shoulder length hair and i was soooooooooooooooooooooooo incrediblY upset i cried and cried and still get emotional remembering it. i remember her trying to convince me that it just looked short cuz of the layers..... IT WAS SHOULDER LENGTH!!!!!

Surprising, no I haven't cried over my hair. And I had my hair turn green once after a bad dye job. It looked awful.

When I was 17, after a really bad break up, I went to the hairdresser and told him to chop it all off. A few months later, I added insult to injury and bleached it and dyed it yellow. AOUCH. My new boyfriend is the one who cried that night!

I spent 4 years of my life looking really ugly, and I had many dreams that my hair had grown back overnight - only to wake up and realize I still had that awful tomboy looking cut. That's when I cried, mostly!

It looked even worse when it was growing back, because I have very thick and curly hair, so I went from looking like a dyke to looking like a mushroom to looking like a cocker spaniel. When it was finally long again, I vowed to never cut it short again. Yuck.

YES!!! My mom cut my hair the summer I was entering high school, I mean she butcher my hair!!! I went to the hair dresser hoping she could style it some how - well the lady was so dumb-founded by this cut that she literally sat down shaked her head in confusion! she said she couldnt do anything with it...and she didnt.

It took three years for my hair to grow.

I've regretted some hairstyle choices, but not enough to cry.

but..

Hair COLOR is another story. I let my sisters use one of those cheap Herbal Essence at home coloring kits on me.. and let's just say it wasn't pretty. I cried my eyes out and she told me not to look into the mirror because she'd "fix" it.. I had to make an emergency appointment with my stylist and I promised her I would never color at home again. ahahah

I have had the same Mia Farrow/Pixie do forever but you definitely have to go to someone that knows what they are doing. I have never cried over my hair because it is hair and it does grow. My only advice for people is to make sure you go to someone that knows what they are doing. That is how you end up with wack hair.

Yes!!!! About 3 years ago I decided to revamp my hairstyle..and went to get my very curly (and long! my hair was just below my shoulder blades) hair cut to about just below my hair. Ladies, when I walked out of the salon my hair was about 2 inches long if that!!! It was so short that my hair couldn't even curl up!! (The hairdresser claims I was so vague in the length that I wanted to go she thought it would be a good idea to just put my hair in a ponytail and snip it all off and go from there :| ) Needless to say I bawled my eyes out and stayed indoors for pretty much the rest of my summer! I still have a vendetta against that hairdresser!
On a good note I donated my hair to a programme that makes wigs for people who have lost their hair due to cancer, and I learned an invaluable lesson on not letting my hair define my beauty (since I eventually had to leave my house at some point and face people again).

I was 15 and brought in a picture of Jennifer Greys curly short cut from dirty dancing, you know it was kind of wildly amazing, and i had super straight long hair. The B*tch cut my hair and permed it, and i looked just like little orphan annie. seriously curls all over, short short short and like a helmet. I threw a flipping fit at the salon after she said "its what you wanted!" and i cried the whole way home, for hours in my room, and than off and on for weeks after. every time i drive by the place, i cringe and hear "tha sun will come tommorow"

No way, you're not alone. I got something totally different than what I asked for, but I said I liked it (the damage was already done, what could I say?) and I payed for it. I got in the car, looked in my mirror... I was so horrified I didnt even want my own family to see my hair for a week!

I guess I need group therapy myself: today I called my beloved stylist, to discover he's recently moved on!! Oh no!!

This happened to me once before. I ended up making an appt with a different stylist, same salon. The results were HORRIBLE. DREADFUL. I had wanted a Posh-like "Pob" and instead I got a matronly Martha Stewart bob.

... plus they over-processed my hair and it took months to recover...

(crossing fingers beloved stylist will call me once he lands somewhere new... everyone cross their fingers for me too!!)

No, but I frequently grow out my hair to donate it, and its so hard every time I cut it, I WANT to cry

I get traumatized by bad hair cuts...I've cried several times because they either cut it too short, didn't give me the cut I wanted, dyed it the wrong shade, etc. If I am going to be paying $200+ for my hair, then I expect it to be done right.

I hate to say yes, but i did. I ran out and told my mom that i was going to wait in the car. When i got in the car i bursted into tears while talking to my dad on the phone. The worst part is that when i got home and used my flat iron on it, i actually LOVED it!!! I khow pathetic!

Yes, definitely. It was in the second grade, I got my hair CHOPPED OFF, till it was around...Brad Pitt's length. I was mortified and I cried and cried, but my mom still forced me to thank the man who cut it. The next day at school this horrid boy told me to my face that I looked like a boy. Never again.

I always find the hairdressers traumatic. Luckily one of my sisters friends became a hairdresser and does mine at home now. I've pretty much always had long hair but my best friend is always trying to convince me to cut it short. When I was 13 I went to get a super cut bob, but it looked awful and I tied my hair back and waited for years for it to grow out again. She keeps telling me to get it cut short again, but I daren't because I know I'll hate it and end up in tears again.

No, but I am getting a haircut on Thursday though and I haven't had one in 9 months so I hope I won't be crying.

I haven't cried, but when I was 10 I cut my hair really short, hated it, and ended up throwing up that day. i don't know if it was because of the haircut, or if it was some 24 hour bug or something, because there were no other symptoms and I was fine the next day. And since then I've kept my hair fairly long.

I was traumatized a couple of years ago when I got booked in for the wrong day by accident. I showed up and my hairdresser wasn't working that day. I had to go with one of the other ones because I was going on holidays the next day (out of the country). The other hairedresser hacked my hair and it sat terribly the entire time I was away.

almost. i went in for a new look, and got a really fobby looking mullet. i walked out with the fakest smile plastered on my face, and proceeded to curse the hairdresser into oblivion.

OH MY GAWD!

i had some dip-sh*t-dipstick cut my bangs wrong a few months ago. i asked him to cut my bangs long (past my eyes) and i even showed him where to cut, and he was a jerk and cut my bangs 1/2" above my eyebrows!!!!!!!

i could've died. but i killed him instead (with words of course).

i'm still a bit sensitive about it, mostly because they haven't really grown out yet. i swear if i see that guy on the street . . .

Yes, I cried irrationally for three days. I knew it was stupid, but every time I thought about my hair, I'd cry. It takes a really long time for my hair to grow. I had a short bob my freshman year in college and it was about halfway down my back by the time I graduated (four years later. See? LONG time.) I bummed into my old hairdresser from HS and for nostalgia's sake, I went to her. I told her I was growing it out and I'd like a trim. Well, we started talking and hair started flying off and I didn't notice how short it was till I got in the car. I tried to flip it back as if I had 6 inches of hair. It didn't budge. I was about 1-2 inches below my shoulders. I was mortified. I started crying. I cried to anyone who listened. I decided to call her and tell her. She didn't answer, but I left her a message. I told her I was upset about my hair, but that I knew it wasn't her fault, that both of us should have been paying attention, but we got caught up in the moment, but I wanted her to be aware of the mistake so that next time we can both pay attention. I thought as a hairdresser, she'd want to know. Man, was I wronger. She called me back three days later (left a message) and yelled at me. That was the first time I ever stood up for myself and I was reamed for it. Needless to say, I've never been back. And due to that HORRIBLE experience, I'm totally ANAL when it comes to my hair and who I let cut it. I ask tons of questions, make them show me, blah blah. Yep, my hair is WAY too important to me, more than it should be =p

Almost! I used to have such gorgeous long hair...past my shoulderblades and never colored, a nice honey brown. I decided to go get a shorter cut for a change, and I brought with me a picture of a cut that was between shoulder and chin length....I ended up with a horrible bowl cut. And this was in high school! I was mortified!

More recently, my hair was a medium brown and I asked for a dark blondeish brown....I ended up leaving the salon with pumpkin orange hair with brassy yellow highlights, and $300 poorer. Needless to say I did not go back there again! I was speechless and could do nothing but stare at myself in the mirror once they were finished ruining my hair. Still working to resolve that color mishap!

The best way to describe my bowl cut in high school would be... Zachery Ty Bryan (oldest brother 'Brad') in the early years of Home Improvement.

Seems like a lot of us have been traumatized by bad haircuts as children. My parents said they'd give me $100 if I cut off all my hair - and I mean ALL of it, it was only a couple of inches long afterward. I think they were really joking about it at first and didn't think I'd actually go through with it. As soon as I saw myself in the mirror I started bawling!!! I wasn't a girly girl, so I totally looked like a boy. And the years after of awkward growing-out stages were soooo not worth the $100.

I got a bad hair cut when i was in first grade because my mom made me cut it really short and i looked like a boy and got picked on all the time but i don't think i cried.But i will never cut it that short again!

Ohhh yes and color!!

Multiple times. There was the body perm when I asked for spiral, the mushroom when I asked for layers, and most recently the lopsided 'do when my hair was cut while parted in the center instead of my natural side part.

Well, no... Maybe because I've never tried really different hairstyles/colours.

never cryed over my hair. i have been really pissed off. the last highlight i got.... she left 1/2 inch to an inch of my hair NOT highlited! oh man i was mad! she hid it with styling!

No, and I've done quite a bit with my hair. It might just be me but it seems a lot of styles 'fit' my face shape.

Yes, horrible... I was a sophomore in high school so naturally this was a drastic experience. My sister and I went to get our hair cut- she went first and the guy did a great job, so I said "I want exactly that". He cut my hair- chopped- off my hair and it was hooorrrible! inches shorter than my sister's haircut and I look horrible with short hair. He then said, "I couldn't cut it like your sisters! You guys would look like a pair of pants! Now you can play with a lot of barettes!" When we walked out of the salon, I was crying hysterically and my sister, with the good haircut, was laughing just as hard as I was crying.

The other bad haircut experience happened three weeks before my senior prom. of course lol.

I actually haven't, which kind of surprised me to realize because I've had some bad haircuts, the worst one recently.

Isn't it amazing how if we have a bad day at work, it's just a bad day at work, but when a haircutter has a bad day at work, other people have to live with that bad day for weeks or even months.

Yes. I was 12 years old and had been growing out a too-short cut for a year during which I'd often been mistaken for a boy. I just wanted it reshaped while keeping the length and specifically TOLD the hairdresser I'd been growing it out. He cut off 6 inches and turned me into a boy again. I bawled right there in the shop, not even waiting to get outside. I hope that hairdresser felt awful because he deserved it. I'm now 33 and STILL hate getting haircuts.

Yes, my hair was down my back and I decided I wanted a bob, I didn't want it short (short to me was my shoulders), the stylist cut it to my ears. I really wanted to beat a** but I sucked it up to just hair.

There's only two times that I can really recall that I ever did get upset about my hair
The first was when I was in 3rd grade and caught lice from my best friend, and my mom cut my waist length hair into this awful looking shag cut...my hair still hasn't gotten back to the length it was before.
The other time, my moms cousin, who is a hairdresser at a really high end salon did my hair, she colored it a shade I completely did not want (I wanted a reddish brown, she did it blackish brown) AND she cut it crooked in the back. I don't care how much of a family discount she gives me...she's NEVER touching my hair again!!!!! That I wasn't so much upset as I was ripping mad at her for not listening to me!
Other than that though I really don't think I've ever been too upset about my hair, I generally just tell the hairdresser to cut it how they want, but keep it at a certain length, and I usually end up with something that I'm happy with...if not, it is just hair, and it will grow back!!!

two times...the first time I ever cut my hair, I was like 13 (I know that's really old - I had super long hair and I had only ever gotten trims) and I told the lady I wanted it to my shoulders and in layers, but the stupid lady got scissor-happy and cut it right under my chin and it was awwwwfuland I cried and cried. the other time, I got it cut really short because I had been wanting a short cut, and, at first, I hated it and I cried for like half an hour. then, after a little while, I realized that it looked really good and that I loved it...

Nope. But I admittedly dont really care about my hair at all. I just sit in the chair and tell the hairdresser to do whatever. Looking back I have had some shocking cuts, however at the time I didnt care!

No. I don't think I've ever 'experimented' much with my hairstyle so it's pretty boring and standard.
Plus I don't spend that much on haircuts anyway so I have no reason to cry if they do things wrong.
My other motto is: It'll grow out eventually. Therefore I'm not usually worried.

well for me it wasn't a bad haircut... it was a bad dye job... and it was TERRIBLE. I was going through a breakup and wanted to make myself feel better by getting my hair done differently. I had never gotten my hair colored before, so I found a photo that showed EXACTLY what I wanted with the highlights and lowlights.... and I went to a place nearby that seemed pretty upscale.

WORST MISTAKE EVER.

They didn't do my hair ANYTHING like the photo I showed them. I ended up looking like an un-cool version of Rogue from X-men (NOT what i asked for). And they totally fried my hair by bleaching certain parts of it... my bangs were like, WHITE, instead of blonde, and they put lowlights on top which just made my hair look dirty (i'm naturally blonde), and when I put my hair in a pony tail, my bangs went down the center and made me look like a skunk...

it was terrible.

I cried and cried and cried and cried. Then I had to shell out MORE money at another place for them to fix it. And bless them, because they did the best they could and it actually ended up looking semi-decent.

Now I research a place RIDICULOUSLY before getting my hair done there.

I was suffering from injuries that really prevented me from sitting in a chair for too long, let alone dipping my head back to get my hair washed at a salon. A hairdresser relative was visiting and my hair was getting so long, so I told her I would wash it and asked if she could cut it. I put my finger just passed my shoulder where I wanted the longest layer. I started feeling air on my neck and asked her how much she was cutting and she said exactly what I told her. I looked in the mirror and had hair that went to the middle of my neck. She asked me if I wanted her to layer it and I told her no. Needless to say I ended up at a salon where I should have went to in the first place. NEVER EVER let a relative cut your hair.

Yeah I think so...I hate it when hairdressers cut it too short.

My daughter cried when I told her I was going to cut my hair. Cried hard. Which convinced me, mostly, not to do it.

My husband and mother in law, both of whom I love dearly, individually and together had tried to encourage me to cut my hair. At that time, it was knee length, except for the bangs. They wanted something different or something fashionable or whatever. I've always liked it long. Well, they got me aggravated and I said I would cut it, but it would have to be my way. I was planning on cutting it Sinead style/GI Jane style and donating as much length as I could to a wigmaker for cancer patients. Well, the idea of chopping it at the scalp distressed them. Wouldn't chin length or shoulder length be fine? How unprofessional a shaved-looking head would look!

I told them no, if I was going to cut it I would make it worth it. But when I told my daughter, she cried and cried and would not stop. Finally I showed her pictures on the Locks of Love website of kids with cancer who had cute wigs and she agreed I could cut a little. So we put the end in a ponytail, cut off 12 inches, and put it in an envelope to mail away.

In the meantime the daughter has gotten into her head that she wants to have long hair just like Mama so she refuses to get it cut except for bangs. hee. She looks more like Dora the Explorer but it'll grow...

And no one has twitted me about my hair length since. Except the daughter who periodically reminds me that both of us have to promise to have matching "mermaid hair" forever.

it was the afternoon of my matric farewell dance(senior prom) and the lady who always did my moms hair was also doing my hair that day needless to say she cut it too short and spoiled the rest of the night!! i felt like cancelling everything. she also did my sisters hair and cut it too short(again) and dyed it red!!
