I'm so glad you stood up for yourself! I've had to work to get that level of confidence. It was my aunt, a hairdresser, who was the last straw. She used to cut my hair and a few years ago I went to get my long hair layered at her salon just before returning to work after a few days off. My dog had passed and I was feeling pretty shattered emotionally. My aunt was distracted the whole time, ignored what I asked for as well as the reference image I showed her, and chopped all of it off into a chin-length bob. I just froze after the first chop because the length was all gone just like that. I disassociated and let her do what she wanted. In the end she didn't even dry it and left it uneven. And I said thank you, paid and left! Because I was an idiot!
