To undercut or not to undercut - help! Pics included.

[Mc3209]

I am currently desperately trying to get to what I have in my mind as a very short tight bob, with front bits sitting about chin level, with a short back. My last haircut 8 weeks ago did not go to plan, the front bits got cut too short and the back not short enough. I had a cracking mullet by week 4 🥴

Now, I just had a trim today and I am still not quite happy with how it looks. I know the front will take another few months to get to where I want it to after the last haircut, but the back is very duckbutt look. I have another haircut appointment tomorrow to get it fixed (don't want another mullet in few weeks, thanks), and I was going to ask for a nape undercut. Am I being delusional that this will look good?

First pic is me today after a trim, the ducktail that I don't care for. Next pic is what I would actually like (the back specifically).

I am no English rose, and my USP is slight quirkiness. I wear bright stand out glasses and need a sharp cut to 'go with the look' that should fit with my professional job.

Will I be making a mistake by asking for an undercut? Am I chasing something not compatible with my hairline/type?

I like the second pics .I'm not a haidresser but I can't see why you can't have that done to your present cut.

Do it. I think it will look fab.
The way my hairline is, I too ended up with a duckbutt when I had a short Bob.

Of the second pics are the example, do it, looks fab!

Thank you for all your replies!
Yes, second pic is the example.

Now I am getting giddily excited about tomorrow 😬

I’d definitely go with the undercut, I think it would look fab on you x
fingers crossed it goes ok and please come back and show us a pic after ♥️

I would like to see it too. Had a very similar issue very recently. Have had it squared off and it’s much better. No duck tail/mullet here!

I wouldn’t suit what you have suggested but I think with your overall look it will be much much better.

There is clearly a hairdresser issue around this.

Thank you, everyone! Undercut it is then. I shall report back once I have it done.

Do it! I've had it done recently and love it. My hair's curly on top.

I also had mine clippered at the back and my hairdresser said when I came in for a free fringe trim I can have the back sorted too.

Did you get it it OP? I wish I had enough hair for an undercut!

Got it! And much happier with it.
(Excuse my slobby dressing, I am on annual leave and really milking 'active wear').

@Ilovetable my hair is fine and tends to look like rat's tail if I grow it long, and I find it looks better with a shorter cut.

It looks really really nice OP
lovely volume on the crown you have good thick hair ❤️

Looks much better , I had very similar last year with the under cut one side as well. It's really easy to grow out when as well

Looks fab! Good on you for going for it!
