Some witches' wands really need to be snapped.
How difficult is it to perform a hair trimming charm? If I were not a Malfoy and above doing such laborious tasks, I would simply use a trimming charm on myself. However, since I do happen to be a Malfoy, I daresn't lift a perfectly-manicured finger to do such a thing.
For years I have been a client of Godiva Capillago, owner of quite the exclusive hair boutique in Kent. She has never lead me astray in all the years I have known her.
I do believe she is getting senile in her old age. If she would have listened to me several years ago and had gotten that face and breast lifting charm done perhaps her brain would not have sagged as her breasts have done.
I asked the woman for a mere trim and she nearly shaved my entire head of hair off! I am beyond traumatized. So horrified by the cut, I made way across the street to the nearest shoppe and purchased the only hat that was in stock - a simply dreadful cap that rightly resembles those that Lucius wears foxhunting in France. It has those horrid ear flaps and everything! I have never been so humiliated in all my life. One of the house elves had the indecency to laugh at me when I apparated back home.
LAUGHED at ME.
I do wonder if the other house elves know how to get burnt elf-flesh out of the carpeting. It is an Oriental, after all.
I need a martini.

Mrs Malfoy,
If you'll look in Marthilda St. Wart's excellent tome, Magical Mistakes and How To Repair Them, on page 23 there's an excellent charm for botched haircuts. It works, too - an accident in Potions back in our 5th year once left Sirius completely bald. James had to hold him down while I fixed it.
I'm sure even over in Slytherin, you heard the shrieking.
Good luck. And... er, I think Marthilda also has a bit about removing elf from carpeting. Perhaps... don't roast them next time?

PS: I'll owl you my copy of the book. It has occured to me that you might not own it yourself.

Remus,
As always, you are indeed a lifesaver. I will look forward to receiving the book and will owl it back when I am finished. You were right; I do not own that particular text.
I am rather sorry I missed that incident with Sirius during our fifth year. It sounds as though it had been quite entertianing.

You know, Remus, I do think the years have addled your memory. It was sixth year, and you were trying to grow a beard. All you could manage, though, was a few wisps on your chin, and you tried a hair-growing potion that went horribly wrong.

I'm a werewolf, you ass. I go to great lengths not to sprout unnecessary hair.
You were bald. Like Trelawney's crystal ball. Lily wanted to take you bowling.

Remus,
You don't happen to have any photographic evidence of Sirius's unfortunate hairless incident, do you? Perhaps that would end his protestations.

Sadly, no. Mysterious fire in the dorms our 7th year. Destroyed only the photos I'd taken that very day. Very strange.
However, let me owl a few people. I couldn't have been the only one with a camera.

No worries, dearest. We shall go to Paris. I know a simply wonderful hairwizard that can grow your locks back just as they always were.
Nothing but the best for my lovely wife. I've brought you some baubles that might cheer you up.
Lucius

Oh, Lucius, you always do know how to lift my spirits.
Paris, really? When shall we leave? I do hope that the baubles weren't too much trouble. . .
