The quintessential queer teen experience is being forced against your will to go to a hair salon where you'd request the stylist give you the most punk rock, gender neutral short hair cut imaginable, and leave the salon looking like a white lady who calls the cops on children selling lemonade
Come for the Tank Girl, leave with the John and Kate plus 8 💀
thank u
the hair dying and perms were the worst parts along with the horrid cuts
genuinely had this happen, was rough for a bit but I was just happy that I had something close to the "one side of my head shaved" that I was looking for. Eventually it became something acceptable tho
OMG JESS you just described my whole childhood
I wanted to look like Nana not "You lot better be gone when I get back from the shop or I'm calling the cops" 😭
I was always given the black aunty perm hair cut and it made me look so ugly 😭 self esteem destroyed for years
I asked for the Kaworu Nagisa treatmemt in middle school (brought pics and everything) and was served super short, spikey, gelled early 2000's boys cut instead. 🥲 Went from waist length to that, it was super traumatizing and stupid
For real 🥲 Or if you have long hair and getting most of it cut off, how they're all like, "are you SURE you want this much gone?" Which I get it's important for them to check since it's a big move/might be a trauma response, but after asking like 5 times, ma'am, could u just trust I know what I want
