I'm NEVER satisfied with my haircuts even when I go to professional salons because somehow or other it always lands up being completely different to what I specifically requested. My definition of shorter at the back and longer at the front turns out into a bob. A side fringe will turn out into a front fringe or a piece cut hanging to the side. No layers and they chop more layers to give it "volume". So it's just something I've come to accept .... They're just not seeing what I'm asking for and I'm not getting what I want because they're just doing what they see as fit and not really what I asked for.

I swap hairdressers a lot because I'll hate the way they cut it so I'll never go back again.

Fortunately hairstyles are temporary - I know yours took years to grow but give it a little while to grow out and see someone who can do a bit of a "change" in style for you so it feels a bit different, but good different.

Just, erm, um, don't get your mom to cut your hair again .....

Be well.
