I had been trying to grow my hair out for about a year. I went to the hairdresser to keep it at shoulder length and specifically said, āLetās just trim the ends a bit.ā At first, everything seemed fine, but suddenly she took the scissors and I donāt know what she did, she cut my hair super short to ear length. Now Iām stuck with a really short style. Iām really angry, but I couldnāt say anything at that moment; I just froze. What would you have done? Should I have said something?
I had the exact same thing happen to me. When she said shoulder, I swear she was going to chop it off. Then she said letās fix the angle of your hair, and I ended up struggling for another 3 months thinking it would grow out.
I think it would have been better if it were said at that moment; sometimes hairdressers take a customerās silence as approval. But of course, when you think about that shock, you freeze ā you are right 
Has the hairdresser done this for the first time or does he/she always cut hair directly the way he/she knows? I mean, is there a history to this?
@kahvebitmeden Iāve actually been going for years, usually itās good, but this time it was very different. But I donāt think itās the first time heās done this, maybe he had a burst of confidence.
I think the ear-level model looks good on most people, but itās clear you donāt want it. I canāt understand why you would take such a risk.
@soncaykaldi yeah, but it seems like you may have gone a bit overboard too, right? If they said they wanted to straighten things out and if you also agree, it might have gotten a little complicated
When it comes to hair, thereās something to consider, folks. Hairdressers often interpret āletās take a little offā differently. Itās important to define the measure clearly and to check the process in the mirror, but of course, not every customer shows the same level of calm.
then get used to the new model, there is no other way anyway
Could he have cut it just so it would be easier to hear if he said it was ear level? (just kidding, I think you should just change the hairdresser) 
I donāt think the hairdresser has the right to betray that trust when you sit in the chair. Your hair isnāt their playground. Be straightforward: ask, āWhy did you cut it like this? It didnāt turn out well this time.ā Donāt leave without knowing
