I told you to take 10 centimeters from the ends!

I went to the hairdresser and told them to take off just a bit from the ends, I even emphasized it because I hadn’t cut my hair in a long time, and I had gathered it with care. But the result? They cut about 10 centimeters. I’m literally experiencing a hairdresser’s tragedy. Now every time I look in the mirror, I feel sad, and I’m stressed that the people around me will say something. How can I recover from this? I guess I have to walk around with this lack of confidence.

That’s right, I always say you need to clearly explain to the hairstylist what you want. In fact, if necessary, show a flash example with a photo. But even if you say something extreme, their understanding is different. Because long hair, for them, means ā€˜unkept’ or something like that. Even if you are clear, they impose their own aesthetic judgment.

But you said something at the beginning like I warned a lot, what exactly did you say? Like, did you say ā€œdon’t cut it any moreā€ or something like, ā€œtake a little but don’t make it shorterā€? Sometimes clarity is important, maybe I misunderstood :roll_eyes:

@sorgulayan I said, ā€˜just take the unhealthy parts but keep the length the same, don’t mess up what I’ve gathered’. And it was at shoulder level, now it’s pretty much below the ears…

@soran Just look, I’m going to say something. If they did this after all that talk, either they really pretended not to understand or they wanted to try a different approach with you. Sometimes they just think ā€œthis would suit youā€ and do whatever they want. I think they did it on purpose…

@dedikoducu I partially agree with what you’re saying, but let me add this: there is a reflex in hairdressers: doesn’t it happen that to get rid of split ends, a slight straight cut is a must? It does. I think you should first go to your hairdresser, sit down, and talk openly, asking if there’s an option for a correction. But these things can also happen from small misunderstandings, so let’s not jump to conclusions.
