I went with my husband to the barber shop and had a genuine barber, albeit a woman barber, cut my hair after I convinced her it would be all right. She kept explaining that she was a "barber" and only knew how to cut men's hair and she'd be giving me a man's haircut, etc. Apparently she'd had a bad experience with a woman who wanted her to cut her hair then complained when she wouldn't "style" it. This barber shop does have a woman's stylist but she wasn't in today. Anyway, I got my hair cut like a "man" but it looks fine to me!
Can most people really tell the difference between a "man's" cut and a woman's? I wear my hair short and the only difference I can see between this cut and the ones I get at the Hair Cuttery is that the back is "rounded" and the "layering" is done a bit differently. But are people going to point at me from behind my back and whisper that I got a man's cut? :-) I think the only one who will know the difference is the next "stylist" who cuts it. __________________ "Never give a sword to a man who can't dance." ~Confucius |

Eh, as long as it looks cute to you, who cares?? LOL....I can't tell the difference honestly, all I know is that for my head shape, short hair doesn't look right. I think a "man's" cut on a woman is referred to as a "pixie" cut? I dunno, I think short hair is soooo cute though!

My hair is long, long and so must be good at cutting layers, so I dunno if I'd go to a barber. But, my gf has short hair and can go to a barber and like her hair just fine

Umm... no. A pixie cut is different from a man's hair cut if your talking about the standard cut for a man. A pixie cut has bangs and the sides brush out on the face... just like a pixie!
