Wedge perm

Aged 14 or 15 I had long hair - decided to cut it myself in a sort of spikey fashion - failed - went to hairdressers for the first time in my life where they said only solution was a crop. So went into school one day with flowing locks and next day like a boy. Dad said I looked like my Mum - apparently she always had a crop (Jean Simmons look-a-like).

Worst thing about this was I was stood at the bus stop and some curb crawler offered the girl stood next to me (who lived in my street) a lift - she refused, he said to me: "Shut the door will you sonny?"

Convict 99...wasn't that Will Hay

As for dodgy haircuts I've had too many to remember one in particular

I got chucked out of one place up in London half way through a cut cause the guy said I kept fidgeting

I can understand if you were *fidgeting* when a lady cuts your hair but a man ..lol

yes it was Will Hay ...Im showing my age ..teehee

I've had a number 2 al over and it's not something I'd do again. But when your young and your parents are tightening their belts .

I remember when I was 17 and had like 10 stella the day before I was to go a wedding I nneded a haircut. I went hungover and I ended up asking for the toilet halfway through and throwing up. Talk about having the sweats lol.

This guy was a crazy Greek from what I remember, constantly arguing with his brother who was cutting someone else's hair and I kept having to duck to avoid the scissors in his flailing hands ....If I hadn't been chucked out I'd have legged it anyway.

I know what you mean about getting skinhead to save on brass growing up...

You should of asked what he thought about Cyprus situation ..lol

i love it when people do this, i'm a barber and often correct people's little mishaps.
the drunk ones are the best!

When I was a kid my mother went through a phase of believing that short hair was the way to go ... regardless of what sex you were ... Both my brother and I had similar haircuts ... I was often mistaken for a boy ...

^ oh no! that's terrible, i can sympathize..
when i was 7 my ma cut my hair to look like the welsh woman off hi-di-hi, i looked like my brother :-(

We obviously understand where the other is coming from ...

My husband had a (brick in the window job) haircut.
Well that's what the other brickies called it! (I did it )

my poodle perm the hair dresser asked me if i liked it and i burst out crying... i had wanted a spiral perm but my parents said it was too expensive...

and the time i asked my sister to cut my fringe when i was about 10... she kept mesing it up and taking more and more to cover her mistake... my fringe ended up starting at the back on my head

My Brother cut his own fringe just before his school photo in the 70s, my Mother still has the photo and it looks like he has been 'bottled' lol

I've had a few dodgy haircuts. When I was at college training we used to model for each other. One time I had orange hair, I sobbed
