The OP has styled her hair and is now happy with it. It actually seems to me the hairdresser knows how to cut curly hair, which is rare. Upthread, someone suggested hairdressers who let you leave the salon with curly hair don’t know how to do their job. I disagree completely - as someone with very similar hair I’m very suspicious of anyone pushing too blow dry my hair straight at the end. It tells me they have given me a cut which won’t help my curls and want me out of the door…

Wow ! Stylist here whoever cut your hair clearly does not know how to layer around the face and side you have clear holes where there should be hair !!!! That is someone that doesn't know what their doing sorry !
Go and speak to the manager there isn't much u can do tbh except grow it out ! Get your money back and tell them she needs more training !!!
If u can pin it up that is good ! Just keep doing that ! X

It's NOT a wolfcut at the front or side is it? How many women who think this right are walking around like that? 🤔

MrsCarmelaSoprano · 18/03/2026 09:25

It's an odd cut but your hair is gorgeous and it hides it well,so unless you look really closely it's fine.

Why on earth did you have such a drastic cut with a hairdresser you didn't know? 😱

I would want a refund , do not let anyone in the salon near your hair to correct it.

Grow it a bit and then try again.

Hairhelpasap · 18/03/2026 09:26

I’m on my way back now to see what can be done to salvage it. I’d be happy enough if the long bits at the front could be feathered to match the rest of the hair style. There are other glaring chunks on the other side that don’t make sense as well. Like a quite long section that hasn’t been cut into at all so sits like a little mushroom on the side of my head….not explaining it very well, but in all no years of shaggy cuts I’ve never had anything like this.
At least all the nice comments have offset some of my pissedoffedness about having to take another 4 hours out of my day for this

No this is deffo not a wolf cut lol and the heavy fringe is way to wide that's why there is a huge hole !

Hairhelpasap · 18/03/2026 09:32

I’d also accept a refund or partial refund but my thinking is I definitely want it improving if only slightly today. I’ll make an appointment somewhere else in a few weeks then. I’m crossing my fingers it’s the stylist’s day off or it will be so awkward 😂

GoldDuster · 18/03/2026 09:41

Don't let the same person come anywhere near you with scissors today, speak to and get a consulation with the senior stylist, show them the photo you showed her yesterday.

Your hair is amazing and will bounce back, but you're not wrong, this is a spectacular fuck up and nowhere near a wolf cut.

JeannieJo · 18/03/2026 09:50

I really like it. It’s heavily layered and your head is forward which is why you see it looking uneven but I think it looks really cool 😎

MrsCarmelaSoprano · 18/03/2026 10:02

Noooo, why would you let anyone in that salon near your hair again? Even if it's someone new the manager must know what a shoddy stylist they've employed!!

Hairhelpasap · 18/03/2026 10:06

I’m waiting to be fitted in now. The senior stylist has thanked me for coming back in

Excellent - they can tidy up your hair until it's 'settled' and you go elsewhere

Hairhelpasap · 18/03/2026 10:40

They’re being so apologetic about it.

Janey90 · 18/03/2026 10:43

Do they agree its an 'unusual' cut?

Frostynoman · 18/03/2026 10:47

Well done for going back. Looking forward to the new photo!

theemmadilemma · 18/03/2026 10:54

Oh I'm glad they're being nice about it.

Mincepietastic · 18/03/2026 11:01

Glad they're being nice and I hope you get a lovely fix.

You have stunningly beautiful hair - at least the haircut is only temporary

wjn · 18/03/2026 11:31

Yup, that was an absolute disaster. I am glad you have gone back to have it fixed.

TheHillIsMine · 18/03/2026 13:14

Good luck!

I should probably say, it’s been straightened almost poker straight this time but I’ll not straighten it so much myself. I’m pleased with how it’s turned out all things considered! Another upside is that my hair grows really fast so if this is still a disaster and I’ve become immune to it, at least it will grow out

OP posts:
outerspacepotato · 18/03/2026 15:14

They did a decent job with that fix. Now it looks more piecey instead of randomly chopped at.

Janey90 · 18/03/2026 15:20

That looks a million times better - I hope they didn't charge you?! And will you ever go back to that salon?

MiaKulper · 18/03/2026 15:20

Looks really nice OP but the proof will be when you wash it and not straighten it.
