fuzzy wuzzy was a bear

Walked down the street to a local hairdresser/spa type place. Said, I'd like my hair cut, please.

All right, they said. It'll be a few minutes.

How much do you want off, she asked.

A few inches, I replied.

Then several minutes later, a lot more than a few inches was gone.

Ugh.

I mean, my hair needed it. It was all dry and split-endy. And I don't think it looks bad. However, it's a lot shorter than I wanted it.

I just, I don't understand why they do that. Every time. No matter where you go. A couple/few inches turns into several inches.

Ehh.

At least it'll grow back.

I used to hate doing it too, but enough is just enough. Sometimes I tell them to cut off even less (like I say 1 inch when I really want 3 inches off) because I know they get too enthusiastic about styling, so the final cut is where I want it to be. Depends on how well you know your hair stylist/barber person though. And I feel like this is less of an issue if you get an expensive haircut, but I'm cheap and don't like paying for a simple cut.
