True story: A few years ago, I sent a text complaining about my hair stylist TO MY STYLIST. She was late (for the thousandth time) and I was upset, so I fired off a text to my sister (or so I thought) complaining about the woman who was in charge of cutting my hair. Uh, dummy move.
I clicked send.
Then I looked down at my iPhone and saw that I sent it directly to the stylist, not my sister.
I cringed and punched myself in the leg.
I prayed to the cell phone gods, hoping that my scathing text wouldn’t find its way to my stylist’s phone. But it did, of course. Embarrassed, I wanted to skip my hair appointment. I walked away from the salon and caught a glimpse of my scraggly hair in storefront glass. The reflection wasn’t pretty. I needed a cut. Badly.
So I stuffed my big fat, annoying pride in my back pocket and marched back to the salon prepared to apologize, which is exactly what I did. Two hours later, I emerged with a cute cut—and a lesson about complaining about folks via text. Oh, and a how to fix a texting disaster video post!
(P.S. I was über thankful that the stylist didn’t shave an arrow down the middle of my peanut head.)
Check out this video for tips. Rule No.1: Assess the damage, quickly. (Feel free to yoke yourself up, but that doesn’t solve anything. I know. I’ve tried it.)
