Very sad DD, new haircut please help!

[flashheartscanoe]

My lovely DD had all her hair cut off yesterday. She's been thinking about it for ages so it wasn't a mad impulse.
She took a cute picture of an Anne Hathaway pixie cut with her. She also had some colour as she wanted to be blonder. She's very upset with how it looks and thinks is it is very middle aged and not pixie! I think she looks gorgeous but agree that the cut and colour isn't brilliant. It's so short though that we don't know how to change it...Are there any hairdressers out there who could advise? Can the cut be rescued without taking loads more off?? Please please help, I was so proud of her for being brave and going for a change and she's so upset.

It looks fab. Huge improvement. Well done Toni and Guy person

Ace!Glad they did a colour too - it looks wicked. I hope you go back to the original salon, as you should at least get a partial refund.

This thread is making me want to cut my hair really short too! So many nice cuts. Don't think it would work on curly hair though
So glad your daughter was able to get her hair fixed. I too had some hair disasters when I was younger and no one ever helped me stay off school to get it fixed :(

we went out for lunch too.

Looks fab and glad she is happy....as I bet you are!

Oh it's FAB! Perfect cut and colour :) You are indeed a lovely Mum. So glad dd is happy again. It looks the sort of do that Emma Watson/Anne Hathaway would have. And it's beautifully cut. Result!

Gorgeous! So pleased you got it sorted

DH loves it too. He said 'why didn't you do it like that in the first place! (he was joking)'

Now that looks fantastic!

Go back to the original hairdresser, when they're busy, point at your DD and say

"Now THAT'S how you do a pixie cut!"

Love it! What a cool gorgeous girl you have, and what an awesome Mum you are!
Love this moments on mumsnet!!

I bet she is over the mood now

Be gone Claire Balding!

Beautiful! Shame on the original hairdresser giving a young lass a menopausal wig.

This is stunning!

Oh my gosh, she looks absolutely gorgeous!

I am absolutely thrilled for her. And delighted they did a semi-permanent colour - it really suits her :)

Ah lovely. In one haircut she's gone from middle aged back to young girl again! Good colour too .. That hairdresser is a keeper

De lurking to say what a fab happy end to the story, she looks fantastic! I too had a disastrous first 'long to short' cut and can well imagine how your poor DD felt! Glad she feels happier now!

No more George Michael !

I love it! Well done to the second hair dresser. And to you for letting her have the day off school to get it sorted.

That's lovely. Really pleased for her!

so...what have we learned. when going for the chop select the hairdresser carefully. The new one had opinions and said what would and woulnt work. She certainly wasn't messing about when it came to how short it needed to be. She wasnt prepared to follow a picture exactly and actually persuaded DD into the up bit at the front. The whole thing has cost me a fortune and we can't afford to get it cut regularly by the same woman so the hunt now begins for a decent and cheaper hairdresser!

Oh I love love love this!

Massive kudos to super cool Mum

Bloody hell, there is something wrong with me! I'm all teary eyed!

Amazing haircut. It is awesome. I am so happy for her that she got it fixed.

Looks great!

Waaaay cooler!

Your dd will always remember you for this op. What a wonderful mum you are. Families like you make me feel happy :) this is how it should be.

OP _ ask at Toni and Guy about D being a model for their student nights. I did it ( elsewhere) for colour and they are SO closely supervised its hard for them to go wrong
( and its very interesting!)
