Hairdressers rant: From hair fiasco to loving the hair again!

Ok so, 
Where to begin?
I wanted to write this blogpost since a couple of weeks now, because I feel like I must not be the only one with this issue: 
Hairdressers.
Sigh. 
I don't understand most of them...

I asked for this:

(I cant find the exact picture, but it basically came down to this:)
