Basically happened to me :c
(I hate haircuts)
Finding a salon that will pay attention to what you want is hard, and once you find it you never let it go. Ideally you cling to the specific hairdresser for dear life.
I tried to find a new hairdresser after I moved. I cried. Now I travel by ferry off my entire island just to visit my old hairdresser.
Mine is the opposite. Two years without a salon cut “please chop it off to my shoulders” gets its cut to mid back. Ok thanks.
I asked for a pixie cut once and got a long Lord Farquad. I mean, come ON.
Lol, omg y’all, one time I went to a big box store after work. I worked in an environment where coveralls were standard, but I was pretty sure I was rocking them. This lady saw me and just knew that whatever I said, I obviously wanted a mullet.
Did anybody at any point in history really want a mullet, deep down?
I can unequivocally say absolutely yes. I know a few. But I wasn’t one of them. Lol
Yeah but the new hair looks great most of the time.
Me before I went to a women’s salon.
“I want my hair trimmed, just an inch”
1ft later
“Oh my fucking God what did you do???”
Been there…
And thats why i don’t trust barbers since the age of 12 and I just cut my own hair (90% success rate)
I cut SO’s hair. I got a “UFO”-shaped thing for about 120RMB (about fifteen bucks) that features adjustable hair length from 3mm to 19mm. Every week he sits in the bathroom, I trim back his hair to levels suited to the season (currently it’s 5mm at the sides to 9mm at the top, with some 3mm smoothing along the edges), and he then showers and cleans the floor. Net cost: a few fractions of a cent in electricity. The device paid for itself within two months of purchase in saved barber’s fees.
And he actually prefers the simple cuts I give him to the barber ones. (Or he’s sweet enough to pretend to; I’m pretty good at sussing his real feelings, though.)
I wish I could get a device that simple and practical for my own hair. It would make my life so much easier.
