I've just had the worst haircut

The images I showed him and what he did.

He's cut it all round like a fucking page boy cut.

I told him I didn't like it and showed him the photos and that it's long at the front, it's passed the jaw!

I'm so upset. My hair was passed my shoulders and I've felt really horrible lately and wanted to feel better.

I feel so fucking ugly :(

Wait a minute, what do you mean you told him you didn’t like it? I didn’t know that was an option. I thought we all understood that you say “yeah it’s lovely, thanks!” whilst dying a little bit inside, pay and then go home and cry?

It's the first time I've ever done it.

The problem taking photo in, is that often the hair has been styled and then the person is upset when they can't create the same style at home.

Having said that, I do agree that the cut doesn't look great, it is edgy but its also very uneven in parts, and I wouldn't be happy with it either. It only hair though and it will grow back, this is only a temporary state

Lumiodes · 04/03/2024 19:22

I agree your hair is a mess! If you go back they’ll make it worse. Go to another hairdresser and ask them to fix it. It needs to be more feathery and a better shape. It’ll end up a bit shorter but hopefully a decent style that you can live with.

I had a bad experience last year - was supposed to get highlights but it was really uneven, some parts were caramel while others bits were almost white blonde! So I went to a different hairdresser who recommended cutting off as much as possible and dying the rest with a wash-out colour until all the bleach has grown out. I went from chest length hair to a 3 inch crop! I cried for days. But now I’m actually enjoying having a crop for a change, it’s not something I’d have chosen but it’s different for a while. Maybe you’ll end up with something that you like even though you wouldn’t have chosen it.

allthegoodusernameshavegone · 04/03/2024 19:24

I love it. It’s really suits what I can see of you and you can really funk it up when you feel like it or going out. It’s so refreshing from boring old shoulder length hair that just gets put into a ponytail.

HairDyin · 04/03/2024 19:25

If I put it behind my ears (might need to get some clips and try and ignore the long bits I can wait for it to grow a little.

I can feel your pain that it’s not at all what you asked for, but I actually don’t think it’s awful. It looks pretty good like this.

Catsandcuddles · 04/03/2024 19:28

Looks much better and pretty cute actually tucked behind your ears

NestaArcheron · 04/03/2024 19:30

In the latest photos I absolutely love it!! It looks so nice!!

ScierraDoll · 04/03/2024 19:31

I think it looks quite good on you

Sidebeforeself · 04/03/2024 19:32

If your hairdresser thought your hair type couldn’t take this sort of cut, he should have said so, made suggestions etc so you could decide what to do. I think has done a very poor job and is hoping to get away with it - hence no charge. It’s suits you much better tucked behind your ears and if will quickly grow into a softer look but I can understand why you are upset. Well done for saying something though!

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 04/03/2024 19:33

I never take photos in as I think it’s impossible to recreate a similar cut depending on hair texture, thickness etc.
I hate cutting in/ razor cutting whatever it’s called where they thin the hair out.

I don’t think it looks that bad to be honest, I think he’s tried to emulate the cut but has taken too much off the length and cut in too much. It’ll look better in a couple of weeks.

lotsofpeoplenametheirswords · 04/03/2024 19:36

I actually quite like it tucked behind your ears!

pictoosh · 04/03/2024 19:36

There's a saying...

What's the difference between a bad haircut and a good one?
About two weeks.

And you know what? It's true.

EcstaticMarmalade · 04/03/2024 19:40

I’ve dealt with the pain of these things before by distracting myself with grips and headbands. More for the fussing with it making me feel better than anything.

Chewbecca · 04/03/2024 19:40

Behind the ears is good!

This works

Violetparis · 04/03/2024 19:41

It looks lovely tucked behind your ears, I really like it like that. I think a cool hairband would look good too.

TheFormidableMrsC · 04/03/2024 20:00

I wonder if you need some product and a pair of straighteners followed by something like salt spray to give it the tousled look you're after. I don't this it's a terrible cut but I think it needs styling.

Londontown12 · 04/03/2024 20:04

Hairdresser here !
that is not a French Bob wrong shape at the side !!! I actually cannot believe that was a qualified stylist u shud double check because even making it textured on the bottom u wouldn’t lose the shape !
I am so sorry for u !! That’s a disgrace!!!
Big Hugs you’re not ugly at all but your hair has been butchered !
lots of hugs 🤗

DesignForLife01 · 04/03/2024 20:08

It looks nice behind your ears. Pps are so right that two weeks makes a big difference to a haircut.

I had a haircut once that was done entirely with a razor blade no scissors. I had all those wispy bits doing nothing that you have but I’m sure it was worse than yours. The next day I went to a hairdresser across the road who cut all he wispy bits off and then it looked like a bowl but was marginally better.

I would live with it for a couple of weeks and see how you go.

GiselleRose · 04/03/2024 20:12

It’s not far off, I think it just needs a bit more feathering around the front? Its cool.
