Not a fan of the layers

Yesterday I swallowed my pride, and for the first time since moving to Louisiana I decided to get my hair done out here. It's always risky for a girl to try a new stylist and this time was no exception. I made my appointment and when I arrived, the first sign of danger was that girl doing my hair had to take 5 for a smoke...ewww!! Anyway, I told her that I'd like a dark chocolate brown color for the, and that I wanted to keep the length and add a few bangs...pretty simple right? Well the color turned out really cute, but somewhere along the line the stylist suggested adding a few long layers to my cut. It sounded harmless so I agreed, but those long layers turned out to be code for really short mullet-like accents around the face. I tried to hold back the tears in the salon but they just came out flowing. When she asked me if I was ok I told her "oh yes, I'm just crying because I haven't seen anyone work the scissors like that in a long time...impressive". Alright, to be honest I didn't really cry, but that's only because I didn't get to make a good enough assessment of the cut until I got home. On a positive note, I suppose my new look is better then the mop I was sporting before. I doubt even a rabid squirrel on the loose up there could have made it look worse then it was. I sure hope these layers grow out fast because I'm not sure how long I can handle this business up front, party in the back look. Yikes!! I'll post pictures soon so you can all laugh at me.
