My hairdresser has given me a mullet

[Candlelight234]

Aaaargh I asked for pointy thinning layers. I've been growing out a short cut and finally got it past my shoulders. Now I've got a frigging mullet with really short layers. What can I do, really don't want to go shorter to sort it out...., waaah.

Oh and this is the hairband I was talking about. They have patterned ones but they are mega expensive unless in the sale.

I think an inch off the length will help op. It’s not as bad as you think but I get it. I’d be pissed off if it were me, that is not the pic you asked for

I got a mullet last year.
It was my friends hairdresser and her hair was amazing. She paid for it for my birthday. When I got back to her house she just stared and said has she only cut the top?
It was awful. I went somewhere else and had the bottom cut shorter so it grew out more quickly

You need a perm.

Thanks Funkin. The headband is nice.
Mine is longer length than yours was but shorter layers on the top & side.
Can't decide between an 'emergency'short cut ASAP or clipping it up for 6 weeks to grow some of it out.

I'm sorry, but have we gone back in time or to an alternative fashion universe where knotted headbands are cool?

Is this more like it (than the first pic I posted)?

Clip the back and it will look less 1980’s mullet.

thats not a mullet, although it doesnt look like the second picture either.

Nothing wrong with it. I was hoping it would be more exciting than that. I was hoping fpr a pat sharpe

That pic is not me Bran That's another poster showing me her mullet.

Get your grunty teenage DS to edit your face out of a photo.

How about you wash it & leave it to dry.

No advice but it also happened to me. I hate going to the hairdresser anyway but hate it even more now. I had hair down to my shoulder blades, asked for it sitting just on my shoulders with a few layers close to the ends. I was told this wasn't possible, wasn't a thing and she snipped away until my layers were up to my ears and more layers than length! I went to another hairdresser asap and ended up having it all chopped to just below the layer lengths. So the look I wanted but quite a few inches difference to what I planned.

This happened to me back in June. I made them give me a free Brazilian blow dry to tame the frizz and make it look less ridiculous while I grew it out and had it cut into a (free) decent bob last month. It really pissed me off and I had the front clipped back all summer but at the end of the day it is only Hair.

I had this once, all wispy and straggly on the ends. I had to have it cut into a bob the next day when it ended up looking like a pudding bowl but still better than the mullet.

Like this or this? The 80s are back. Could you turn it into more of an adult “scene” haircut? Pics needed

Lweji I think lots of fashion come around and around again

More like the first one dust bunny, but more scraggy on the ends ☹️

I’d definitely go back to the salon and complain, and demand your money back! No bloody way would I pay for someone to give me a mullet. Then demand that a senior stylist at the salon has a free consultation with you to advise you on what can be done to make the best of the current haircut and a plan of action for putting it right as it grows!

Hmm, well whatever you do don’t feather it or make it helmet-smooth, I think a mullet could be modernized with more choppy ends and body and worn with confidence! Can some side bangs be worn?
Or you could just go with a kickass short cut and grow it out. Either way get your money back I hope 😣

I like the hairstyles in Dustbunnies pics, especially the girl in the Bowie shirt. Is that bad?

Get extensions fitted or buy some cheap clip ins? Ask the salon to cut them in for free as a goodwill gesture as they messed your hair up, or see if they will offer a discount on extension services

At the very least it’s healthy with no split ends so will be in a better position to grow faster!

I can just about get some of the front scraped back into this clip. I think I'm going to try an persevere like this for a few weeks. Front is a messy side fringe. So annoying after I've grown it too

If you can scrap the shorter bits back to that, then it probably isn't as bad as you think.

Quite a few Kirby grips in the sides as it started to fall out! That pic looks better than reality, it's really scraggly & thin in the clip.
The stylist is a family member so I can't really go back & complain either.
