Today, I went to the hairdresser for the first time in the country I just moved to. Guess I don't speak the language as well as I thought. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I went to my hair dresser to get my haircut. When she asked me what I wanted, I told her "the usual". She confused me with another customer and gave me a mullet. FML
Today, a colleague texted me to say that I needed a haircut. Today was also the first day I attempted to ‘do’ my hair in about 5 years. Clearly, I shouldn’t have bothered. FML
Today, I went to the hairdresser and changed my hairstyle drastically. It wasn't until she was nearly done that she said, "I just KNEW this style wasn't going to suit you." FML
Today, I got a haircut, and after thanking the stylist I went up front to pay. The lady behind the counter took one look at me, smiled, and said, "Well, now you'll need a hat." FML
Today, I got my nails done at a salon where everyone working there was Vietnamese. During my manicure, the manicurists talked about how ugly I was in their native tongue. They couldn't have known that I'd lived in Vietnam and I'm fluent in Vietnamese, but too chickenshit to speak up. FML
Today, I got a haircut and it was messed up for the fifth time in a row. FML
Today, I went to the hairdresser on a spur of the moment decision to get a quick wash and cut. Forty-five painful minutes and $180 later, I honestly don't know if anything was actually done to my hair. FML
Today, I went to go get a haircut and I asked how much it was for a haircut, shampoo, and a blow job. I meant to say blow dry. FML
Today, I went to a new hair salon that has just opened down my street. I asked them for a trim and a little bit of layering, just to keep things smart and professional. I walked out looking like a cross between a pineapple and a mop. Of course, as is often the case after a bad haircut, I have a job interview in two hours. FML
Today, I went to the hair salon to get a fresh trim before receiving my master's diploma. The hairdresser managed to shave off half my eyebrow. FML

So I guess your language skills just aren't cutting it, huh?

Very, very hard... I've been taking German daily for almost 6 months now and still get the 5 W's & 1 H mixed up.. Except for wo. At least some German words are similar sounding to English words, and some even the exact same words, it's just conjugating that's a pain in the ass.

What lead you to that conclusion

I am thoroughly convinced that all hairdressers in the world suck. It's not you OP!

Nope. I LOVE my hairdresser! I never leave her chair thinking anything less than how much I love my haircut. 4 or 5 months since my last cut and people still stop me to tell me how great my hair looks and ask if I've recently had it done. You get what you pay for. Never cut costs when it comes to your haircut.

I feel your frustration, only I was in America & the woman only spoke Spanish!

Am I the only who didn't understand this FML? OP you mean first time in days or weeks? Or why is this a big deal?
individual00 14
Yes, you probably are. OP just moved to a new country, so they meant the first time ever in that country.

Op explained the hair style she wanted in a language she didn't know a lot about and as a result got a bad haircut.

To be fair, some of us English-speakers don't know hair fashion lingo so we'd probably end up with a terrible haircut too. Normally I bring pictures just in case. :)
