Am I the only that feels

[fuckstick]

No I always feel hideous while getting my hair done. Somehow my face always looks extra red and fat while my hair is all limp and wet. Fuggo.

[Dezi]

I feel awful when I'm getting my hair done. Why is the lighting so bad? Also, it doesn't help that my stylist is gorgeous.

[iamgrace]

No. Bad lighting. I always think I look like a beast.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

That damn cape always makes me feel huge.

[blueshirt2003]

I am the same way.

[papie]

My salon must have awesome lighting, because I always look pretty, lol

[miss1991]

No. I feel the same way.

[frauschmindy]

I never feel like I'm "good enough" to be in a salon, which is probably how I keep ending up with shitty haircuts from shitty places.

[ElizabethBennet]

I feel the same way. I usually purposefully wear my glasses so I have to take them off and can't see myself as well. I feel ugly most of the time though, getting my hair done just amplifies it.

LOL I'm soooo glad it's not just me! I always feel like I look 10 years older and 50lbs heavier.

the place where I go is a beautiful salon but their mirrors are these huge beasts with a thick wood frame that sits on the floor. They lean them up against the wall rather than hang them. So your image is not straight on, but a view tilted upward. Kind of like if someone kneeled down in front of you to take a picture. It's awful. It instantly gives me double chin.

When I go to my friend's salon OOT I feel super ugly. But his place is very contemporary, bright white light, dark wood, etc.

The local place I go sometimes has warm lighting, pale yellow walls, I never have this problem with looking horrid.

And YES. It's so tight up my neck, and then draped over my shoulders & the chair. I look like a beast.

[flex]

WHEW! I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Even when I was a youngster I thought I looked like poo while I was getting my 'do.

[cahabalily]

Add me to the list

[eb777888]

OMG, yes. The lighting is horrible. I always feel like I look ugly, too.

[mamasaurus]

I do. My nose always looks more crooked in hair salon mirrors!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

My cousin does my hair at her house and she very thoughtfully turns me away from the mirror til she's all done. Thank god!

Isn't it amazing what lighting can do your self esteem. There's a shop in Kodiak that never fails to make me look like I'm 80--seriously. Ugh.

This exactly. Though I do enjoy how I look when my hair is done. I feel/look tons better.

[interro]

Yes, without fail, I look like a sea hag in the salon!

[Kit]

Agreed. I think it is impossible to feel pretty while you're getting your hair done. Usually I wax my brows at the same time and they always do the brows first...so I am red from the waxing, in addition to the hair drama.

[peachdragon]

Nope. I walk out of the house feeling like I've put myself together well, but when I get to the salon, I look horrendous. Horrible lighting and having to stare at myself makes for lowered self esteem.

[jane6672]

Me too. The cape, the lighting, it is all bad.

But then I feel extra pretty when we are finished.
