Ouch*

Tonight I got my haircut, I don't do this very frequently, the style of my hair means I don't have to worry too much. I tried a different place, the cutting was fine, the drying was torture, hair being pulled, yanked, generally mishandled. Then she swapped with someone, all was well, gentle, thoughtful movements, an apology when she pulled on my hair - actually causing a lot less pain than had been normal for the other person. Then she got the straighteners out - the only time I ever have my hair straightened is at the hairdressers as I would never be bothered and I don't want that sort of heat on my hair regularly. All is well until "OUCH"* shocked look on my face as I touch my head, staring in bewilderment at the girl. I was burnt. She stared at me not knowing what to do, I stared at her not knowing what to do. She apologised and carried on using the straighteners I no longer trusted. I wanted to flinch every time she put them near me. I speeded things along and made a hurried exit.

My head has only just stopping hurting - I had a PCC meeting where I kept touching the spot where I was burnt, thinking ow*

I didn't make a complaint, does this make me stupidly British? What would you have done? I certainly won't be having another haircut there.

*may not be quite the word I uttered / thought
