Haircuts


Myself and my daughter went for haircuts today - there's a nice woman in Greystones two of my friends get beautiful haircuts from.
And yet... last time she gave me a good cut that looked good for ten minutes due to elaborate styling which just didn't work for me and ended up looking frumpy. So I just went back to get my little layer put back in and it's still all very bobbed looking - I suspect I'm too old and round faced for a bob, again, it just looks frumpy. Still, I'll reserve judgement for a few days til I've washed it and let it relax a little, as you do. But just once, I'd love to walk out of a place thrilled.
And as for my daughter - she has very straight, lovely hair, and I just wanted it trimmed and her fringe trimmed out of her eyes - I asked the girl cutting it for it not to be straight, to have a more natural look, you know when they cut it upwards so it's kind of feathery instead of a big straight line across the forehead? What have we got? A big woobly straight line across the forehead. And I didn't quite have the nerve to ask for it to be fixed, esp as my daughter and husband had been waiting ages for mine to finish. Also I forgot to ask for a sort of gentle V in the back rather than a straight line, which I now have, despite its original shape. SIGH!! Why is it so hard.
Luckily my daughter is too small to worry/obsess over such things, she just likes getting her hair cut, I think.
For now... presumably all too soon she'll be thanking incompetent hairdressers with tears in her eyes, as she hands over a big tip and goes home to sob in to her pillow!

if u didnt like your or your daughters hair cut you should have said so ... im a cosmetology student and for me i need very specfic instructions as for what i give my clients so may suggest that the next time you get a cut you write what you want or even better find a picture stylists are people not mind readers and im sure if something is wrong it can be fixed you just have to say so

It was just a fringe trim - and I wanted it feathered as oppsed to lumpy. I wasn't asking for anything out of the ordinary, or complicated!

It could have been fixed, I contemplated it, but we'd been there for an hour, and she's four - I wasn't going to put her back in the chair, with the implication that her haircut didn't look nice.

I've since gone back to the same hairdresser, who gave me a good haircut, if that makes you feel any better.
