Ever get a haircut you were less than thrilled with?

What did you do?!

Re: Ever get a haircut you were less than thrilled with?

Ths has happened to me a few times - I will usually ask them to tweek it a little but if it's really bad, I'll go somewhere else to have it "fixed"

Re: Ever get a haircut you were less than thrilled with?

Wear headbands / pin it back until it grew in a little.

Can you ask them to fix it? If not, go somewhere you trust. I would be really upset.

Cried every morning & invested in clips to snap back that clump of hair that my hair girl thought was a bang.

Worst haircut ever.


Thank god hair grows back

Re: Ever get a haircut you were less than thrilled with?

Last year, I got a hair cut so bad, that I took off of work the next day. When I went back to school, my students said to me "Miss, what happened to your hair? I hope you didn't pay for it!"

It took almost 3 months to grow out and two haircuts to try and fix the problem!

Re: Ever get a haircut you were less than thrilled with?

That is the worst, I hate when my hair guy messes up a cut or color. At least color you can fix but a cut is a cut I would let them know what you don't like and ask them to change it (if it's just a matter of the style). However, if they just cut it too short, then take a ride to the store and get some cute clips and headbands. Also, if you have any cute hats, incorporate them into your wardrobe for a while. In a couple of weeks, it will start growing in. Don't worry too much about it. You're beautiful no matter what your hair looks like!

I let it grow out.

Thanks everyone!!!

I had some more time to get used to it and it's growing on me (no pun intended! )

Basically what happened was... I've been trying to grow out my hair for a VERY long time. I got it cut short before I got engaged and since then I've been growing it out (with trims every 2 months) ..... Yesterday I made a last minute decision to get it cut and had her make more of a style with side bangs.

My DH actually loves it! I was just in complete shock by those shorter pieces in the front! It bothers me now that I can't put my hair up in a ponytail without pieces hanging down. Buuuuut... in reality, it's not a BAD cut... and it is what I asked for. I just need some more time to get used to it. I think I'll like it better when those shorter pieces in the front grow to my chin. Now they're at mid cheek!

I appreciate all of the supportive responses! Hair concerns go beyond being vain ... it's VERY important!!!

Re: Ever get a haircut you were less than thrilled with?

A few yrs ago I HATED the cut and the highlights. The highlights looked like they were 6 weeks old already, she didnt get down to the root. So I called her the next day, and she fixed the highlights for me, and I went to someone else to fix the cut. Last yr, I cut all my hair off, and I was so shocked at how it looked that I just wore it up/off my face for a month. I would let your hair settle- I usually like a haircut after it settles, in a few weeks.

Re: Ever get a haircut you were less than thrilled with?

If it seems fixable, I ask them to fix it. If not, I wait until it grows in and don't go back to the place. I have never had a haircut so bad that I couldn't live with it.

I DID have a horrible perm once years ago (it was the 80s). My hair was damaged and it looked awful. I told the woman who did it that I didn't like it, and she tried to convince me that it was fine, but I wound up talking to the manager of the place, who looked horrified when he saw my hair. He cut it a bit, and gave a free ride--they really couldn't fix it much right away, he said my hair was too damaged.
