Why hairdressers can't ever cut a fringe straight?

Just that really.
I have a fringe which is a must because I have a big forehead.
But every hairdresser I go to even my regular hairdresser cuts it uneven and I have to try to even it out at home.
I do have a cowslick at the front which makes it harder but I do explain this to the hairdresser before we start.
Really wish I could do without a fringe but I look horrible without one.
I know it's trivial in the grand scheme of things but it always ruins my haircut and I dread getting it cut.
AIBU in thinking it's only me as when I look around everyone else has super straight fringes.

They should dry and straighten it before cutting it, are they already doing that?
Do you ask them to fix it before you leave the salon?

Cow licks make fringes very difficult, especially if they’re pronounced.

Basically when I try and even it out I just wet it down and snip straight across probably not the best way to correct it either.

I have never had a hairdresser cut my hair how I want.

It's kinda curly and I am middle aged, and although I wanna look like MEG RYAN (pic 1) they always try and palm of that shitty inverted bob on me (pic 2) vom

Why do hairdressers always try to push that hideous haircut on middle aged women?

I have the opposite problem. My lovely hairdresser spends ages cutting my fringe. Literally a strand at a time, she's fantastic but it takes as long as the rest of my hair!. It's almost too perfect by the time she's done -and bounces back up as soon as I leave-.
If you cut your own do you do the twist and snip method?.

Tbh I never feel satisifed with the way hairdressers in salons cut my hair. I used to go in with a photo i'd found on the internet and ask for it like that and I don't think it ever once looked remotely similar. It was always as if they felt they had artistic licence to do as they pleased... I always had to ask my DM (who is a trained hairdresser although hasn't worked as one for years) to sort it out, now she just cuts it for me for free . I also never appreciated how flat and lifeless it looked following a cut so the first thing I'd do was basically mess it up.

Not just you! It's the cowlick. I had the same problem with my fringe. I think it's because hairdressers don't dry and straighten my fringe the way I do it at home!

I learnt to cut mine myself and then just did it between appointments and asked not to have anything off of my fringe!
