Anyone ever gets that? Got a cut with a drastically reduced length (more than 7-10 inches shorter) and now I am hating the way I look. They are just too short sigh I miss my long hair, they made me look like an unkempt witch but at least I could hide behind them. Now I have to face the world with short hair (desi equivalent of pixie) and a huge honker.
I feel like going back to the hair dresser and punching him in the gonads. But then it’d still not make my hair grow any faster.
Share your haircut remorse stories, or is it just me?
I had long hair and I went in for a "trim". Came out with almost a buzz cut. Luckily I'm a guy and its half back already and it looks awesome again if I may say so myself :D
I guess thats the best thing about bad haircuts, the hair does grow back. But I guess it is different for ladies since their hair is usually alot longer.
In conclusion, bad hair cuts are more tolerable for men than they are for women :D
You'l get over it in a few days. I once cut eleventy billion inches off and I cried for 2 weeks until I realised I have the power to make my hair grow again and I did.
Once upon a time ago I used to have super long hair - all the way down to my waist. And then it happened, I asked for a trim and he cut 8 inches My hair was still long, but it never felt the same again. At the time, I cried and I cried and I cried and then when I couldn’t cry no more, I decided to cut the rest of it off.
Since then, I’ve felt quite liberated to try new things with my hair that I refused to be before then. Short, long, curly, straight, highlights, lowlights - really the sky’s the limit!
Take it as emancipation from the shackles that are your hair.
In college a friend convinced me that short hair would look good on me. So I went and cut my hair a little above my shoulders with super short layers. It was a frigging mess! My dad AND mom actually laughed at me (yes, laughed in front of me), and made fun of me for WEEKS! Oh the joys of having parents who don’t hide their true feelings.
I remember about a year and a half ago I asked for a trim and before I knew it my waist length hair had been cut to just below my shoulders. I liked it at first, but that wore off after a couple of weeks.
Now, whenever I go for a trim I tell the stylist at least a hundred times that she better not cut off more than a couple of inches. It drives her insane, but I'm not having that happen to me again :D
Most hairdressers do get very scissor happy. The last haircut I had, he cut exactly what was needed and yeh it was a little shorter than I had expected, but it was necessary and I couldnt be more grateful, as the cut and style suits me.
That happened to me last year. I wanted to get this cute, shorter cut that Bipasha had and even showed the stylist a pic. I didn’t get a good vibe from her…and I had this suspicion that she had chopped off more than what we both agreed on. I was right…that’s exactly what she did. And I calmly pointed it out to her (I am surprised at how calm I was), which embarrassed her cuz there was another stylist and customer close by and they were hearing everything. “Well let’s see how it looks when it’s blow-dried and styled,” she annoyingly chirped…trying to maintain her confidence with that ventured suggestion. Um…lady…you can’t “fix” a mistake like that.
It was the first time that I’ve ever had to deal with someone cutting off more than I wanted…usually they’re pretty good about it. However, it’s a common stylist complaint…and I wonder if they do it on purpose.
Yes I still hate them. And yes I haven’t had a single positive comment on them. They are just like Rachel cut, only that I am sporting them in 2012. And just like you RV, I took a picture too. I really wanted to yell at the dude to stop chopping the length, but believe it or not I happen to be quite a chicken when it matters to speak up. Until the last moment I was nodding along, yeah yeah they look nice when they looked far from nice.
^Oh I didn't scream at her, but I spoke up. I brought it up more than once. My body language matched my sentiments and words. She was very, very embarrassed. The other stylist, who was working right next to us, felt so awkward that she took her client and moved to another area of the salon. With a sullen and downcast expression she told me that charged me less for the mistake and I didn't leave a tip. I miss having hair that was halfway down my back, so I'm trying to take grow it out now and taking better care of it.
Before, whenever I used go, the person I took (usually my sister) ended up agreeing with the hairdresser than I needed to cut off more
It didn’t help that I have really long hair so they always tell me that I should cut more off (and my sisters all have a lot shorter hair than me)
So now I tend to go alone and say to them that my dad’s REALLY strict and I’ll get in trouble if they cut too much off. Never failed to work for me. Seriously.
If anything, I have to tell them they can take a little bit more off, and they always show me how much they’re cutting off before they snip it off
Haha Sadzz. Sometimes long hair needs cutting for the greater good!
I always chop my locks off once iv failed something. In 2007 I couldnt for the life of me pass my literacy skills test for my teaching degree, cut my hair off, passed the test!
In 2011, after I had failed my driving test twice, cut all my hair off, passed me test third time with only 2 minors!
I honesly believe my long hair was weighing my life down (let's ignore the fact that I cried about it for 2 weeks afterwards).
My hair was still long, but it never felt the same again. At the time, I cried and I cried and I cried and then when I couldn’t cry no more, I decided to cut the rest of it off.
My dad AND mom actually laughed at me (yes, laughed in front of me), and made fun of me for WEEKS! 
Oh the joys of having parents who don’t hide their true feelings.
