How to fix this 90s haircut?

[TonkaBean22]

I had a long blunt cut - fell to below my boobs. Asked for a trim and a ‘little’ shaping around my face, and ended up losing about 6 inches and with some sort of feathered flicky layers and with a lot of body lost. I feel like I’m back in the 90s.

I really hate it - I have a lot of hair, but it’s very fine; so losing any weight from it makes it behave crazily. It’s really short and choppy at the front but long and quite straight at the back. Pics attached to show.

I’ve booked a cut at another salon to fix it, but I’m not sure what to ask for: I guess I will need to go shorter and blunter, but the layers at the front are so short and flicky, so I’m worried it’ll be chin length.

I’m not interested in going back to the salon I went to - it wasn’t my usual one, only had one stylist (and an expensive one at that!) and I’m now regretting it sorely.

A couple of people have told me it looks weird from the sides, so I don’t think it’s just me imagining things 🙁

Well the fabulous condition should get you through but could you bear to have it levelled up?

I have to say it just looks like long hair to me. It's fine. If you really hate it, though I really can't see what there is to hate, can you tie it up until it's grown a bit and you can have it cut again?

Nothing 90's about it. It looks nice.

Sure it's grand, not 90s at all. By the time you've washed it it'll be completely different anyway.

It looks fabulous. Healthy and shiny.

It looks fine, leave it rather than loosing any more length. Beautiful hair

I honestly think it’s beautiful OP - it just looks like lovely glossy long hair in good condition… nothing 90s about it at all! The front layers will grown out soon enough and then you can just get a blunt trim.

I'll swap you my fizzy mess! Looks fine to me

Looks good and I don’t see the 90s thing at all. I think it’s just more layered than you were expecting? If that’s it, I’d just wait - in a few more months/trims you can get it to where you wanted it without doing anything drastic now.

Nothing wrong or 90s about that at all (90s are back in fashion anyway!)…! Just looks like lovely smooth long hair.

If you really don't like it then take a couple of inches off the bottom. Does your hair grow quickly, The front of my hair never seems to 🙄

It may not be what you're used to, but it's not short or especially 90s. But I get it can be annoying to have loose bits around the front (got my husband to cut mine from boob length to collarbone in lockdown, but he managed to cut it to shoulder length!) so you may have to get some clips/slides to deal with that if you like to tie your hair back.

The choppy bits are current shaping trends, my hairdresser does this too. I'm used to a more blended diagonal from shortest point to longest point so if this is what you were expecting too, then you'll need to explain to the new salon.

It looks lovely OP. From what you said I was expecting something like this 😆

Same here! Or the famous Rachel from friends layered lob thing.

It looks really nice.
Doesn't look 90's at all.

I think it looks nice but then my hair looks like this so I might be biased!

Sorry to be direct OP but I can't agree with PPs

That cut is entirely shapeless, weirdly layered & looks flat.

It needs to be cut shorter, with more defined layers I think.

Honestly it’s lovely, it’s not90’s at all.
Now I had a 90’s cut that I didn’t ask for, that was completely a very short flicky Rachel cut, yours isn’t at all like that.

Your hair looks beautiful!

Your hair looks lovely!

Have you washed and dried ityourself? Id do that first. Your hair is lovely,great condition.

It looks great, I’d leave it to grow out a bit before you get it fixed. I was also expecting the Rachel cut 😂

I was expecting Rachel from Friends or Ginger Spice. I’m not seeing 1990s. And your hair is in such good condition too!

Your hair looks long, healthy and shiny. I don't see the problem. But if you don't like it, it's well long enough to have a couple of inches off to level up and no one will notice.
