A Hair Lesson:
As it turns out, you don't need a beautician's license to cut hair in this city. In fact, you don't even have to be trainedany average Joe or Jolene can charge you lots of money to cut your hair. (See where this is going). It is difficult deciding which hair salon to try here because there are so many of them. They all post their prices on their doors and usually range between 25 and 75. There are a lot of trendy places up on Camden's high street, but they were rather costly, so I tried the nice little family owned establishment a couple buildings down from where we live. As always, I went prepared with a picture of the haircut I wanted and a picture of myself sporting the same exact haircutwhich I've had for YEARS! A woman and a young girl looked at the pictures and nodded. I was put into the hands of this young girlwho couldn't have been older than 16 years old. She was amazed that I had moved to London of all places because she was obsessed with America. I heard about her trip to Orlando to visit the theme parks and I heard about how she loved MTV and Miami Ink and yes, Walmart. Arg!
I am not sure what this girl thought she was doing, but she proceeded to cut off ALL OF MY HAIR and I didn't have a whole lot of hair to begin with. She gave me a blunt bowl cut WITH BANGS! I'm talking worse than a short pixie cut because there is absolutely no layering or variety in length what-so-ever. Then the woman (who turned out to be her mother) came over and started cutting more off. I said "whoa, this looks nothing like the pictures, usually they just use a straight-edge razor on my hair," she replied that she was now giving me layers. Needless to say the "layers" that she gave me didn't work out as planned and now I have a super super short blunt bob-thing that will take months to grow out. Hooray for London's lack of practicing beautician laws!!
Blech. So I will not be looking in the mirror for the next month. Yay.

And yeah, a lot of people on here are pretty fake but get a bunch of girls together and you're likely to get a lot of weirdos. Don't get me started on some of the guys though.
And yeah definetely the hairstylist sucks
I hope ur hair grows back fast
Have a nice weekend
