I ask because I just did something fairly stupid and I feel like a total idiot!
On a lark I signed up to be an extra in a movie and went in for a clothes fitting yesterday. I have no aspirations to act, but my younger sister just did the same thing for the same movie (it''s right in our area) and said it was pretty neat to see how things work. Hey, I figure, it''s a big budget movie w/ a couple stars and it would be cool to it all first hand.
So I arrive at the office and they take me in. All was well, I get sized, try on the outfit, it''s super cute, I''m happy. Then the stylist takes me down to hair & makeup so they can just check me out and write down what they''ll need to do. I talked to my sister beforehand about what hair and makeup entails and she said it''s not big deal -- at most they would snip any split ends you have.
The girl mentions that they''d like to just cut my ends to clean it up a bit. I don''t like this, but I confirm that it would just be a tiny tiny trim. So she takes me over to the chair and introduces me to the "hairdresser," who without even talking to me grabs a section of hair from the back of my head (DRY and WITHOUT COMBING IT OR ANYTHING) and snips FOUR inches off!!!!!
I of course think to myself, oh crap what have I let them do? At this point I should have got up and left, but I figure that the back was already chopped so I sat there silently while he did the rest in five minutes. It looks HORRIBLE, SuperCuts would have done a far superior job.
I know it will grow back, but I don''t want it to get any shorter so I have to suffer now for the next few months looking totally unprofessional all because I wanted to do this extra thing. Could I be any more of an idiot?????
