Bad Haircuts

I find myself going to a different salon/barber shop to cut my hair every 2 haircuts. The first one is always good because I stress to "not cut it too short". The second time I go in they always think that they know how I like it, regardless of how much I explain to them that I don't want it cut too short. And once they start, it's hard to tell if they are going too short until it's too late and you feel a huge piece fall off your head, while you think to yourself, "oh shit, here we go again." You look up and you know that the $10 tip you were ready and willing to part with is going to be staying in your wallet. And then!!!, while you try to get up and leave... ohh nooo... they always gotta spray some fucking gel shit on your hair when you have already made it clear to them in the beginning that you NEVER USE GEL and don't like it.

I'm very annoyed right now. I think it will take 6 months for my hair to grow back to the normal length I like. I guess it will save me money in haircuts over the next fiscal year.

Am I alone in this or is this a common shared experience in the world?

I always have ideas of how my hair should look and the cutting people (dont know what they call themselves) never get it right. Bad thing about haircuts is, you never can look in the mirror till you are done and they will not refund your hair!

There is always the next time to look forward to, i guess.

i agree the first and second visit are worlds apart. even if you find a great hair stylist (?) they still manage to mess up somehow. this is why i havent cut my hair since march. but i have my sister do it anyway lol

i finally found a lady who cuts my hair the right way every time, but its like $25 plus tip every time.

I HATE getting my hair cut. I let it grow as long as i can before getting it trimmed. Like so long that i have to resort to a different hair style becasue its gotten too long for my usual style lol

It's all about finding the right place. Always go to the same person and always tip well, this way they'll spend that extra time with you

Re:Bad Haircuts

Hi Mantooth,

Hey , You are my brother as I am facing same problem of Haircuts. I don't like to go for hair cutting. Same reason , every time I have to informed him that " please cut my hair medium" but he forget my wordings and cut my hair in his own style. I am telling again and again same thing to him but no effect on him.I'm very annoyed right now. I think it will take 3 months for my hair to grow back to the normal length as I like. I guess it will save me money in haircuts.What to do they are not listening to any one advices, always ready to start their activities against us.

Thanks

Took me a while before I found the right place. The worst was this barber who would not listen to how I wanted my hair cut. Everytime I'd try to tell him he would interrupt me and give me his resume and tell me to trust him. An hour later (I shave the sides and back, 3 on top, high fade... easy right?) and 3 cuts later - he finally listens to me and does his best job at making it look how I want but failed miserably.

I now go to the same girl every 2 weeks - hot little blonde who massages the shit out of my head while getting it washed after the cut. She's a work of art...
