Ended up taking a huge chunk out the side of her head. It was a massacre. There were tears and panic attacks, it was pretty full on and sucked to see her so upset.

I did the deed, my daughter told her she looks bad-ass, like Ripley and she’s finally come around to how great she looks with a shaved heid.

Anyone got any horror haircut stories I can use to cheer her up? Cheers!

    Cutting my own hair, I’ve screwed it up a few times now. My favorite was when I was just going to give it a little trim, but the guard popped off of the clippers mid-stroke and took a huge chunk out of the side/top of my head. So I was rocking a buzzcut for the first time in 15+ years. Turned out I liked it once I got over the shock, so I’ve been doing it intentionally ever since

    It’s just hair, it’ll grow back eventually.

      Basically the same, except I “forgot” to put the guard on the clippers. Thought, “wow, that just glided over my head!” The first shower afterwards and first time putting you head on a pillow make the experience worth it!

      In the end, remember, it will grow back.
