Does this happen to you when you get your hair cut?

Question

I went to the hair dressers today and when I came home I noticed that it is cut wrong AGAIN! This is not something she did that could be a misundestanding either,it's just wrong. I have my hair angled on the sides . The hair is cut right on one side,but the other it is angled into the back, the back hair should not be cut in with the side. When I brush it I can see that it looks like I have a piece missing. This is not something that can be fixed right now either. I won't go to just any hair dresser either,I see people with hair that I like and then go to their hair dresser. I never ask for a hair style that won't go with my hair type,I have straight fine hair,but allot of it. My hair really shows if it was cut wrong. Within two years I have tried 7 different hair dressers and none of them cut my hair even and a couple of them flat out butchered my hair. I'm still growing some layers out that were way to short ,ON ONE SIDE. Am I asking to much to have my hair cut right?

What I mean by they don't cut my hair right is,one side will be way longer then the other,layers don't blend,pieces missing. I don't get real upset if the style isn't dead on like what I said, I just want a style that is at least cut right and looks good on me.

I don't go to Fantastic Sams either, I always pay good money for my hair cut. Any women that has gone through this won't think it's funny and won't write mean comments.

The other thing i noticed is that if I go in to the salon to have something fixed,they fix that ,but then screw up a different part of my hair. I think I'm done with hair cuts.

This stylists clients do look good, she has been doing hair for over thirteen years and has her own shop. I really don't understand why the heck she can't cut my hair right.

I have complained about hair cuts before. I don't call or go in there acting rude or anything, I try to stay as calm as possible , Two different salon owners were extremely rude to me in the past. Those two times my hair was really missed up too. I am at my wits end with this,I think the only way my hair will ever look decent is if I don't ever let anyone near me with scissors or any type of cutting tool ever again. I know it's hair and it will grow back, but I feel like crying because I hate it so bad.

Answer 1

I'm sorry I had the same problem but with my SON I'm always trying to get him the style that fits him but everywhere I go they mess up his hair, for some reason they cut too much even I explain what exactly I want. The worst I had to go thru was Fantastic Sam's the girl in there really cut all my sons beutiful hair I was really upset, my friends and mom wanted me to go back and tell the manager or owner but I don't have a heart to get someone in trouble at least not any more.

Answer 2

ask for a cut with your hair dry. DRY. And not dried in the salon, but straight from home. I read this technique is specially good for hair like yours. So style it yourself with no heavy products, and then go for a haircut, Impose yourself, so they do what you want. Try to tell them the effect you want to achieve, instead of telling exactly what parts should be cut or not... That way the result actually blends, cause they will be doing something they actually know how to do.

I had this thing too, even when my hair is diferent to yours, but then I read all this thing, and learned from experience, and I did not had this "chopped" results again. Stylist don't know how t make exactly what you want... They have their techniques. Maybe a barber is better for following instructions, like someone said, but I wouldn't take the risk if istakes are so noticeable as in your case.

Yes, I know what you mean about the missing piece. I went to Regis and got a chunk cut out of the side. It looked awful. I went back the next day and nicely asked the stylist "I can't seem to style this cut right. Would you take a look at it. It seems shorter right here." She looked at the cut and said I was right. But she had to cut the whole style shorter to make it blend, or she could cut the other side to match. I had it all cut shorter, liked it better, looked much better. She worked slowly and carefully and it looked great. But I have seen people rant and rave about a bad cut and end up looking worse (like a jerk in front of the store and alike a lawnmower ran ovr their heads). Just remember to be nice and I kind of placed the blame on myself (not being able to style it). Then she saw that it was her bad cut.

Answer 4

I am so sorry this is happening to you. I realy dont know what to say. I only go to a hairdresser if their clients hair looks good. Do you ever go back to the same hair dresser? Or do you express your concerns before you leave the salon? This is an important question. Keep in mind also that high prices doesnt actually mean high quality!

Answer 5

I've never had the what happened to you happen to me, but I totally know where you are coming from. I switched hairdressers a bunch of times before I found one that does my hair the way I like. Most of the time it would look good at the shop, but the first time I washed it and tried to style it, it would never look as good as it did the first time. My suggestion would be to talk to your friends and get reccomended to someone who a lot of people like. Thats how I found mine. I liked my sister in laws hair style and asked where she got hers done. Now I won't go to anyone else. It sux and could take some time, but it works out in the end.

Honestly, I have found that when it comes to hair, you get what you pay for. You really ought to be going to someone who has been doing it for at least 5 years. Everytime I've gotten a butcher job, it's been by some apprentice fresh out of school or when I've stopped into a chain like Great Clips for just a trim.

Answer 7

Is this something that u notice befor u leave???
If it is ask for the manager, there is usually someone
on that can help, don't tip, don't pay for shotty work!!!
If u don't notice till u get home, call them back up and have them try and fix it.
For years I went thru trying new styles but every time
they cut my hair it looked like Farah Fosset.So i learned
quick how to deal with this!!!!

Answer 8

My sisters don't go to salons for the same reason; try going to a barber, not a salon. Barbers cut you hair how you want it and not buy what they think will be better.

Answer 9

it might for sure be short and curly, in case you narrow back of better than a million/2 an inch to an inch, you will eliminate all your chop up ends yet this effectively skill your hair will improve lower back particularly speedy.

Answer 10

This happened to me once and it was horrible. I went back to the hairdresser and made her fix it. For one thing, she needs to know that she was doing something wrong. She'll also learn from her mistake and hopefully won't do it to anyone else.
