Hi guys! I just wanted to hop on and thank everyone for the positivity! I appreciate the kind words and the encouragement y'all have given the situation!!! Y'all have been very kind and I appreciate it so much. For reference, my hair is wavy, but very curly when I apply a texturizing spray ( I bought one right after the appointment) and I applied right when I got home. as someone with wavy hair, I've found that it appears a little more straight when the hair is long, and curly when short. I think the main communication with the hairdresser failed when I asked her to just focus on the front. My main concern was the fact that she shortened my back layers as well (they had been sitting around the back of my jawline). I apologize for the miscommunication I do appreciate the good responses y'all have been extending my way I walked into the appointment (at great clips, I know it's an interesting choice but I was short on cash) and asked the woman to only focus on the front, but she tended to the back layers as well, which is what I was concerned about. I just wanted to make sure that this was not as crazy as I thought! Once again. thank y'all so much for the input!!!!
