I have spent 25 years trying to describe how I wanted my hair to other people. Then I realized that If I wanted it done how I want it, I just needed to teach myself how to cut my own hair. My hair has been on point ever since :) Also, I now get free haircuts for life! Worth a try maybe? Great vid :) -Nathan
I tried cutting my own hair for the first time when i was in 4th grade... I was going for the side swept emo hair with all those layers? Yyyeah. all I can say is that I've definitely grown since then!! Lmao! But yes, cutting your own hair definitely has its benefits!!
I found this great stylist who always gave me amazing haircuts, but she was also real expensive and one time I was like "oh I just need a trim, I'll run across to Supercuts. It'll be okay" Wrong. I had these great layers from the lady before and then after supercuts, it was clearly 3 layers of hair. I was like a cake. It was awful.
Unfortunately in Cosmetology school they only teach you how to pass State Board and Learn in the Real world about cuts, sad but true, everyone starts out someway or another but it's also about COMMUNICATION talk to your stylist, show them pictures, tell them what you don't like about certain styles. Especially for my color people, tell them all about your hair, trust me there will be no regrets, #Hairstylist
I'll never understand why people blame the location and not the stylist, just because you get a shitty haircut from someone doesn't mean the salon is trash. Lmao
Had a similar SuperCuts experience and getting layers cut! I have pretty thick hair so when the hairdresser cut the top layer and let it fall, she just said "oh where'd it go" she tried to laugh it off, I did too, but she looked concerned as to where she just cut hair from. It came out totally uneven.
To generalize this as don't go to Supercuts video isn't fair. I manage and work as a stylist at a very good Supercuts salon, not an Academy. Hair Stylist Academy is for New to the company stylist who go through training before taking paying guests. I am sorry you had a bad experience but I can attest not all Supercuts are bad!
FUCK SUPERCUTS. I went in there (first mistake) to get my haircut. Now, cutting ethnic hair is not the same as cutting white hair. So I asked if they could cut my kind of hair to which they replied, "of course!". So I sat in the chair (second mistake) and the lady tried combing through my hair....with a comb...my 5-6 millimeter long hair. Long story short, she fucked up my hair and it looked like we were off roading while she lined my hair up. I didn't leave the house for about a week.
I have a Korean friend who knows and only gets hers. It by stylists who specializes in her hair type. She told me going to an Asian hair salon is one of the few things she splurges on because if she goes to a regular salon they will screw it up.
One time, I decided I wanted "side bangs" or whatever and I'm not even kidding, the second she snipped the first strand I started freaking out and saying things like, "Ah no never mind abort this mission, etc." So I just had one singular strand of hair that was slightly shorter than the rest of my hair for awhile. It was super not embarrassing.
Of course you will get the bad haircut from some hairdressing student,because it is a STUDENT ))) Anyway I am a hairdresser too and the funniest thing is that if you are the hairdresser with short hair - you can*t cut your own hair unfortunately(personally I failed) and I had SOO many troubles with my own haircuts from other hairdressers... And cried few times as well,but the thing is - you need to find only one hairdresser which one you will like and stick to it !
I wanted to get a pretty big chunk of hair cut off (like boob length to bob right below ears) and then have that fade from black on top to aquamarine on bottom (an ombre if you will). I went to this place in the mall that a friend had recommended me called Lords and Ladies. The hairdresser I got seemed pretty nice but she was having a hard time understanding what I was trying to ask her even though I didn't think it was really that hard at all. First mistake she made was doing the color before the cut, which I know is "standard practice" for some fucking reason but the way she was doing it was that it looked like she was starting the colored part below where I wanted it cut (I was right) but I assumed it was some hairdresser thing and it was actually gonna be much higher so I didn't say anything. Then she starts the cut and she gave me SUCH a hard time about the length, which actually happens to me almost every time I get my hair cut. I kept saying I wanted it very short and she was like "are you SURE though?? that's really short! Let me just cut it to this length and you can tell me if you want it shorter!!!" which is fucking aggravating cuz I know what I want but I'm too nice to snap at people. So she did that and I told her to go shorter THREE times and it still was longer than I wanted but if she went shorter it would've cut the very little bit of color left off. The biggest kicker though: it costed me FOUR HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS when I went to the register. So I left a skathing review and never went back
Alright, this didn't happen to me but it happened to my younger sister. She was in 4th grade and she, too, wanted layers. She went to JC Penney's salon. She went in with her hair down past her shoulders and walked out with a bizarre bowl cut. I can't even describe it correctly. Short all the way around with TONS of layers making it even shorter. My poor sister had a tough enough time having to wear round glasses. Add this haircut and she aged 75 years.
Not a bad hair cut but a bad hair dye story, I went to a beauty academy and asked for my hair to be blonde. My hair was long like down to my butt all 1 length. Long story short 4 hours later. All my clothes I wore into the place were ruined with dye and I ended up walking out with pink hair, a full fringe and shoulder length hair.
The lady that used to cut my hair doesn't know how to measure, I'm pretty sure. I donated my hair and when I went in I said I wanted to give 10 inches and she told me that her comb was 5 inches long so she'll measure out 2 comb lengths. When she tied it off it was really short, like just below my ears and I was like, are you sure that's 10, when I measured it at home it was a lot longer, almost to my shoulders, but she insisted. So she cut it off and my hair looked terrible! Going from hair that's down to your butt to hair that is really short is not a fun thing it's a shock. So I cried. When I got home and measured it was 15 inches, a lot longer than 10! In the end it went to kids with cancer, but I looked like a weirdo, since, to keep all the length I asked for a not styled at all cut.
When I was in fourth grade, my father took me to the barber, who I don't particularly care for, but I was used to being sheperded into the establishment on a regular basis. It was boring, there were only magazines for good ole hunting equipment and how to take care of your truck, and I knew that I'd be bored, so I brought my gameboy. As I sat around minding my own business playing the game, my father notifies me that its in fact my turn to get a cut. So I get into the barber's chair, and my dad asks me whether I want a cut like the guy who had just walked out. Mind you, I wasn't paying any attention at all, I was in the middle of the Elite Four, and whatever I could do to speed up the process and get back to playing was what I was going to do. My dad warns me that it'll be short, to which I think, yay, that means I won't have to come back for a little while longer. Then the barber pulls out a contraption that I've seen him use before for the back of my hair, and just runs it across from the front to back and buzzes of a fifth of my hair. I am shocked. I tell him to put it back, because I don't want it that short, and he says he can't do anything about it now except cut the rest of it the same length. And so he continues to give me a buzz cut while I openly weep in the barber chair, and my father awkwardly laughs telling me its going to be fine and grow back. That was not a fun day.
a hair person cut my ear hardcore when i was 5 so from 5 until 18 my dad cut my hair...terribly. got to a point where i just didn't want a haircut so my hair got crazy long. it was rough times.
so relateable! I'm blind without my glasses, and I had to take them off for my hair cut. I asked for a trim, I was pretty specific, and long story short I came out looking I came from the military...with practically no hair...
When I was a child I was taken to this place called "The Cutting Cabin" (it was a cabin style building with logs and everything). I had butt-length hair which was just going to be trimmed… came out with basically a diagonal line of hair with a slope of about 3 inches (noticeable). My mom took me somewhere else to fix it in the same afternoon.
When I was 10 my sister wanted to play "barbie barbershop" which I excitedly agreed to (I loved barbie at the time). Twenty minutes later I had only a few chunks of hair in the back, half inch straight across bangs, and "kick me" written on my forehead in sharpie.
I had the exact same problem at Supercuts! Instead of "layers", it was like they just cut one giant layer. My family and I refered to it as my "shelf" and I swear to god it took at least a year for that to grow out again.
In 4th grade I wanted to get my hair cut shoulder-length. My hair dresser cut my hair up to my ears. I held it together in the salon but I had quite the tantrum when I got home and I ended up wearing my hair with a bandana on it to cover the terrible haircut for probably about 6 months until it grew out some. I am now forever afraid of hairstylists tbh and basically only ever get a trim whenever I go now.
This is why I get my mom to do my hair.Thank God she went to hairdressing school and I can trust her ( mostly,sometimes she goes shorter than I want and I get a bit sniffly).Or I do it myself,I'm fairly competent.I mean I can get the same look every time which is why my hair hasn't changed in the past decade,but atleast it's consistent.
My experience from Supercuts in Stratham nh has always been great because I have great hairstylist, shout out to Melora. Always gave me the best haircut and good conversation. It depends on who’s cutting your hair. Plus, you’re hairstyle is pretty chic, different. It looks good
When I wanted to switch to purple hair, my stylist was all for it and all the other stylists were so excited. Instead of processing my dark hair, she put some "glaze" on it, spent 5 hours trying, and all I had was kind of a brown/red color in streaks. I held it together until another stylist had the nerve to say, "oh my god, purple looks so good on you!" I sobbed and still had to shell out almost $200 because of how much "dye" she used. Never again. Took my new stylist 2 hours and $100 to do my whole head...good times.
The bowl cut incident happened to me several times, but then I learned that I can do my own hair in a mirror and then I have no one to blame but me... but I'm usually pretty happy with it
The last time I had a bad haircut was when I asked for layers in my elbow-length hair and she cut it to my shoulders. I never went back to a hair salon, I've been cutting it myself now for 8+ years now.
You know how when your family or friends "have a friend that cuts hair" so they pressure you into supporting their "friend who cuts hair" and that "friend who cuts hair" is a poser? Yeah, this lady just grabbed my swoop bangs and chopped them off without asking what I wanted, so I had too short straight bangs for a while, and people were looking at me weird b/c was I trying to go for Spock or was I just appropriating Asian culture? Don't let your loved ones pressure you into seeing their "friend who cuts hair."
+Raspberry Italia Similar case happened to someone in my family where one of my mums friends friend was a hairdresser and my auntie wanted an ombre brown to blonde look so she went to her. It looks like a dip dye of bleach (blonde) and not an ombre. My faded highlights looked more like an ombre than what my auntie got done..
I'm planning on dying my hair blue next week. It would be the first adventurous thing I've ever really done with my head, and I'm preparing for the scrutiny.
I specifically went into a salon asking for a buzzcut because I fried my hair so badly with bleach that it just started breaking off in half at the slightest tug. Pretty sure I can handle any other hair disaster that comes my way now. Except bowl cuts.
EVERY TIME!!! i made a whole video about the terrors of the hair dressers ! I despise going! but you have a beautiful face and a sense of humour so its all good :)
I've tried to explain my wishes to hairdressers using words. Using pictures. Using performance art. The only thing I haven't tried is singing them broadway songs. They ALWAYS end up doing it differently. At the salon I go to nowadays, I always get the same girl who, in the beginning, would even get into arguments with me about how she doesn't like my ideas. But by now, we're getting around. Kind of. I only ever go to have my very ends trimmed.
Yeeah, I was fourteen and trying to grow out these awful bangs that may have looked cute when I was little, but definitely didn't anymore. I asked the lady to just trim the hair but told her a few times to not cut the bangs at all, because I was trying to grow them out. She turns me around when she finished and I see that in fact she did cut my bangs and made me lose almost all the progress I'd gained. I kept a straight face when there, but as soon I was gone I just sat in the bathroom and cried. I feel your pain.
i work at supercuts and i know it can be bad. they hire young and insecure stylists because they are easy to take advantage of. they send you to a clss for a week to learn their fucked up way of cutting which is extremely non ergonomical and bullshit. luckily my manager was like, look just do it their way in class and when u get on th floor, do it your way. they pretty much tilor cutting so that unexperienced stylists can do it, but ive been in high end salons for years so i do my own thing. only shitter is, im giving haircuts with my previous $80 a cut quality for $17. i only came back so i can rebuild my speed after a 2 yer maternity leave.
fabuloso fabuloso I hope your employed in a better salon now getting paid with the rate you deserve. I always tollerate getting a slow and long haircut session because that's when my hair comes out looking perfect.
I had a haircut once where the buzzer wasn't working right and it was pulling my hair the entire haircut. The lady said she fixed it after my first complaint, and I was too scared to tell her she didn't. That's the worst pain I've ever felt.
On more than one occasion I have asked for a bang trim, and the stylist gave me "versatile" mini bangs underneath my regular long bangs...my hair is incredibly thick and wavy so both times I left looking like I got drunk and cut my own hair. It's just the terrifying moment where you want to slow-mo shout NOOO but you can't for some reason...I actually gave up on stylists and cut my hair myself now. I think I do a pretty good job. And it's free!
One of my friends used to wear his hair long, like about shoulder+ length. I liked that, and tried it too. Usually I wear it short, still do vecause I later found my hair does not like being long. It clumps into locks and just is gross. But it was down near my nech at this point, making good progress, but its getting untidy. So we go for a slight trim at the place across the road from where we normally went and got sorted. The destruction was slow. Laborious. Tedious. Excruciating. For over an hour they trimmed and pruned my blossoming mullet and rock locks, until it was shorter than I'd gotten it cut before I decided to grow it long. I was what, about 14? Tears were shed. I wouldn't call them manly tears, but tears were shed. And then there's the time they made me bleed with razor burn getting the back of the neck and my 'whorls' to behave.
When I was 8 my sister cut my hair from shoulder length to just below my ear - only on one side, though. That may be cool today but 1998 wasn't ready for that so I got a bowl cut the next morning instead of going to school. And the worst part is that my stepmom talks about how good that bowl cut looked on me to this day. I feel ya.
A few months ago I went to get a pixie cut and I specifically told the hairdresser that I wanted my bangs to swoop across my forehead. She ended up giving me a middle part and gelled the rest of my hair back
The worst for me was getting it cut way too short for a summer haircut. My hair grows pretty fast, and I wanted it shorter for summer, but it was just too much, and it looked really bad.
I don’t understand why you went along with the cut if you didn’t feel comfortable with her. I work for Supercuts and have a large clientele. Btw A bad haircut could be done at any salon. I personally have heard about bad experiences at high end salons, so ask questions next time make sure you know how much experience your stylist has.
Do I have stories about bad haircuts? Well, there was this time, in my early twenties, when literally a group of middle-school kids laughed at my haircut and one of them asked me if it was a wig. And then I shaved it all off. And decided this is the way to go. Does that make you feel any better? That I haven't lost my hair; I shave it every couple of days out of fear of laughing teens.
I haven't gone to get my hair cut in 10 years because it was cut up to my chin, about 5 inches too high, when I asked for a trim. I cried hysterically in my basement next to my dog for 3 hours.
My hair was below my shoulders and when I went to SUPERCUT. A lady had butcher it. I refused to tip her. Now I'm doing my best to handle such traggety before military homecoming.
The only time I ever cried getting my hair cut was when I cut my hair shorter for the first time. I would usually always have pretty longish hair, because I like how it looks on me, but I decided I wanted to try shorter hair. After I got it cut short and went home, I just stared at myself in the mirror and started to cry. And I cried more before I went to sleep. But hey, I actually ended up liking it, after a few weeks!
I've never had a bad hair cutting experience at an actual salon, but my grandmother cut my hair once and it was terrible. I'm a guy and as far as my memory goes back I've always felt like I'm supposed to have long hair, when I was like 12 my mum finally let me grow it out. Twoish years later it had grown past my shoulders and I loved it. One day I had the grand idea to braid it in two braids and use rubber bands to tie them off with. The bands got stuck, so I asked my Gram to cut the bands out, instead she cut above the band cutting my hair off. She then told me she could "fix" it so I wet my hair and she began cutting. She cut it all one length right under my ear, cut bangs like an inch and a half above my eye brows that stretched past the top of my ears and then decided to give me "layers" by putting slants like one of these things '/' on the sides of my head. I then had to go to a family gathering right after and people who I didn't see for a while didn't recognize me and the ones that did laughed once they saw me and continued to die laughing as they walked away. When we got home my Gram felt bad and somehow managed to convince me she could "fix" that disaster. She didn't. people at school always picked on me for being the gay guy with the long blonde hair, but when I came into school with that lovely haircut all the people that made fun of me for having long hair said that I shouldn't have cut it and left it long. I don't trust anyone with my hair now, so I cut it myself & if it gets fucked up it's my own fault and I'm okay with that.
I used to do hair, but don't anymore. I didn't want to mess it up, because you can't just start over like makeup. So I do makeup now. So I don't have to make people cry. Cutting hair is terrifying.
I have had the same hairdresser since I was little, so I cannot deal with anyone else cutting my hair. Then I lived in France for a year in 2012 and I had to get it cut by someone different. The hairdresser was a man and he used an electric razor to do my entire haircut, it was the weirdest and most awful experience. I have trust issues now. Ava, I have so much sympathy for you x
I went to First Choice when I was in the sixth grade and asked for a pixie cut. The lady said I was "too young" for that, cut my hair into a shaggy Aaron Carter cut, and said that was as far as she would go. I cried like a little baby. I had the Bieber cut before Bieber was famous.
I feel your pain. I wanted a trim on my bangs before a high school dance. So I went to hair academy or whatever... As this chick was cutting my bangs she said "Oh sh*t". She gave me across the forehead bangs that were WAY to short, and I have a cowlick up in there. I kept so composed but didn't tip her. I went home and cried for a while then I wore my bangs pinned back for like two months.
One time when I was in second grade my mom took me to some barber to get my usual hair cut but yet did we know the man was drunk and instead of just trimming my hair he freaking shaved it ALL OFF I cried and had to go to school bald it was horrible. Plus he was smoking WHILE cutting my hair... I remember it so clearly.
i am went to a place called "Just cuts" which i think is Australia knock off of super cuts and i asked for a trim just nice and simple…she made me look like spock…i cried..i was 15 never went back and now pay way to much money for a simple cut at an amazing place called Azz hair design, they never let someone have weird hair, its great!
I had an apprentice hairdresser once, who when I asked for shoulder length hair [pretty self explanatory, right?] gave me a bob that ended at my ears. Apparently she couldn't get it level and that was the cause. I was also in year eight. I didn't cry there, but as soon as I looked in the mirror at home, the tears poured out. I didn't get my hair cut for two years after that.
I feel ya, going to the hairdressers is absolutely terrifying, they could take a shit on my head in the name of fashion and I'd be like "yeah, that's great, thanks so much" while screaming inside. Too awkward to say anything bad.
I went to a different place and whatever dye they used on my hair just ruined it. Like INCHES of split ends and damage. I cried. It's been almost 4 years and my hair has still not recovered fully.
I so feel you right now. This has nothing to do with hair cuts but earlier today I happened to go off on one of the people I work with. We kept saying crap back and forth to the point where I, being the emotional person I am, started crying because she took it too far. So in the end I got her keys and broke this owl hand sanitizer rubber thing off her key chain. Long story short, I started a fight, she made me cry and now I'm paying her $5.
I went to Great Clips and asked them to take the bulk out of my sideburns because they were getting poofy. The lady gave me tracks on both sides of my head. I didnt notice them in the salon's light, but when i got home and showered, i realized all these weird lines of the side of my hair! I went back and they tried to fix it, but you could still see faint lines. At least I didnt cry lolololol aw ava.
I have a phobia of hair cuts and have never gotten one I liked until 3 weeks ago. It's really worth it to do your research and find the person you want to cut your hair. If you don't want a particular person to do it, the don't let them do it. That's my new rule for life.
***** I have curly hair and it just needs to be cut in a particular way or else it won't sit properly. It's cut dry, then wet, then dried again. If you like the way you cut it though, that's great. A really great stylist however will make sure it's healthy and looks good. I just had to let go. And I'm sorry if you suffer with panic attacks, I do too x
So I was in my schools production of Robin Hood and I got the role of friar Tuck. I was happy until my drama teacher told me that I had to cut my hair like a friar. That means completely bald on the top with a circle of long hair around it. Needless to say I wore a lot of hats.
My hair is now down below my bottom. But in 4th grade my parents thought it was a perfect idea to give me a pixie cut. Now I would have been fine with this if I had not been half asleep coming back from a trip. Sure it only took me a few years to grow my hair out but ... I was asleep and lost My hair
I bought my own hair clippers and started cutting my own hair. I've always hated going to a barber shop since I was little because they cut my soft, delicate, angel-kissed black locks off every time. My hair is completely different than how it use to be, so to avoid further disappointments and homicide attempts, I learned to do it my damn self.
the worst hair cut i got must of been about a year ago, I didn't know what the cut i got before was called so i went with a childhood favourite of mine which was 2 on the top one on the sides and a bit of a fringe. Not realising that the last time i got that i was maybe 10 or 11 I was pretty much almost bald for a solid 2 months. But on the upside didn't have to get my hair cut for a while.
I actually just got back from Supercuts lol. I think they're good if you're a guy and you want a short hair cut aka a simple, basic cut. I get my hair done short on the sides and longer on the top and I've never had a issue with length. I also don't get my hair styled.
I've had two traumatizing haircut experiences. The first was about 7 years ago. I'd had my bangs grown out since I was about 10 and I decided I wanted some side swept bangs. I went to the salon at Walmart and she literally cut about a 1/2 inch section short and called it bangs. I literally had just this tiny weird part of my hair hanging around the side of my forehead. The second one was about 3 years ago. I decided I wanted to cut my hair super short. I went to a salon and told her i wanted a layered bob. she cut it into a bowl and layered it underneath. So it looked like a weird stacked bowl cut. I cried both times.
I got the worst haircut ever in December of last year. I have bangs that go above my eyes and I just wanted a trim. She cut them extremely too short and it looked like how Beyoncé currently has her bangs now. I had never felt so ugly in my life and I cried. Now I go to a new lady and haven't had a bad experience yet.
The length my hair's at right now is the length at which I wanted my pixie cut in the first place, but when I went for my appointment the dude who usually cuts my hair was busy so I was like okay nbd I'll just let this other person cut my hair. I think alarms in my head should have gone off when she asked me, "Do you like anime?" Then she gave me the bowl cut I had when I was 4, and I almost started crying. Finally the dude who usually cuts my hair was like oh crap!! I'll fix that for you! He salvaged my hair, but it was way shorter than I wanted it, and it's taken me a year for me to actually be in the grow out phase rather than the mullet phase. Every time I tried to get the back trimmed, the stylist would just cut everything. What my pixie cut taught me: Trust no bitch.
When I was 13, my mum's bf at the time thought it would be a good idea if I shaved my hair...so I had a grade 1 all over my head. I cried when I got home and begged my mum to not take me to school the next day...that was a fun few weeks.
I have a bad hairstyling story. I went to get my hair done for prom (only in grade 12 in Canada) and first several people asked me if it was my grade 8 grad which gave my self esteem a hit. Then instead of doing the soft french braid leading into my hair at the side in waves like I asked for the stylist gave me a tight french braid that led into a pippy long stocking type pig tail (just one) out the side of my head. I told her I hated it and she tried to convince me it was great... I left with it looking the way I wanted at least
A while back I gave myself bangs and bleached my hair at home. (my natural hair color is nearly black). I was going through a Taylor Swift stage. My then orange streaky hair was paired with uneven bangs Needless to say, those months just enhanced my awkward teenage self.
In our tiny town, we had a barber who everyone called, "Mick the Mower". (Not to his face I assume.) My fathers solution was that He take 'barbering' into his own hands, and bought some clippers, which he set to 1/4". For many years, my brother and I would have to endure the shame of siting on a footstool, clamped between Fathers knees, and getting sheared like sheep. As I was a child of the 60s, all I wanted was long hair, and when I got to full height, I started growing it out. Almost everyone did. I still wear it pretty long. And yes, many buckets of tears got shed over those years when I felt and looked, basically, bald. =Me.=
My grandfather, my father, all of my uncles, and my cousin are barbers and one day when i was 14 my mom took me to super cuts to get my hair cut. The next day i went to my grandmothers house where all of them were at and got made fun of for the whole hour i was there because it was REALLY uneven. Today is my 18 birthday and when i go to my birthday party one of them is most likely going to bring it up. I know what your going through and then some.
When I was a kid my family was moving to a new town and had to find a new place to go to for our haircuts. During that process we went to Walmart because my hair grows fast and my mom didn't want to wait anymore. The only thing we told the lady was to not give me a buzz cut, and the first thing she did was take an electric razor and take my hair from four inches down to a half inch. Boy that was perfect...
Picture it, High School, 2007, My mother thought my hair was too thick, and my older brother talked my mother into shaving from right over my ear around the back to the other ear all the way down. It was as short as could be and then the hair on top of my head came down pat my neck. I dont know how but it made my hair look stringy as fuck, and it was just an all around bad, thing, I almost cried....
I always like my new haicuts for the 5 minutes I'm still in the store, and then after a bike-ride home I hate it for two full weeks. I completely hate everything about every haircut I ever get for two weeks. Now I try to brace myself for the hate, but... aaah, I'm going this Saturday again! WHY? (you know what helps though; color! liking the color helps forgetting about the cut)
On Thursday I had a hair cut, I asked for a trim and she cut off 5 INCHES , its fair to say that since she had been my hairdresser since I was a child, that I didn't want to cry in front of her so I held it in, but the moment I got out of there I was in tears.
Get this - I had damaged my hair being stupid with bleach. Like you I tend to think "it's just hair" so I opted to buzz it off. You can go to supercuts for THAT right? Wrong. The woman insisted on trying to "make it girly" by shaving the part in front of the ears to be pointed... and she didn't even manage to buzz it all evenly. How the fuck do you become a hair dresser and can't even buzz off hair? Also I told her 8 times "please don't do that" to pointing the sides that way. And she just was like "I'm going to do it" I almost slapped her. Never go there.
I think the last time I had a horrible haircut was done by myself. I tried to trim my fringe but I cut it waaaay to short. I pinned it back to hide how bad it was, but I showed a friend and she laughed. yup
My mother used to cut my full on bangs. She would cut them way too short and I would bawl my eyes out. It's funny how short bangs became a style….. I wish that was my situation, HA! Don't feel too awful :)
I cry over bad haircuts about every 6 months when I get the sudden urge to cut my own bangs. Will send pics when I regret cutting them again in about 2 months.
When I was around 7 I had hair down past my shoulders, my Mom took me for a hair cut and I came out looking like a boy..... a pixie cut it was called. All because my Mom couldn't deal with my hair. lol To be fair, her hair is very fine and not much of it so dealing with my thick coarse hair was beyond her. lol I've only ever gone back to get a hair cut fixed once. I lived with an asymmetrical hair cut for about a week and then went back and make her change it. :D I have to say, I don't remember ever crying over my hair though.
I have trichotillomania and every haircut is a bad haircut. No matter what anyone does to my hair I always pull it out and it always looks awful. And it doesn't help that some hairdressers are insensitive about trich. I swear if another stylist goes "Well why don't you just stop pulling out your hair?" I'm going to scream. My boyfriend is a hair stylist and I don't even let him touch my hair; I get so anxious about it. Trich makes simple hair matters so stressful and sometimes painful. I can't remember the last time I was satisfied with my hair or had an easy time with the haircut.
if i do not go to my aunt to get a haircut it's terrible because my hair is too thick one time i got my haircut at a place and the person thought layering and thinning was the same thing, and she layered it wrong and it was still thick.
went to get a pixie cut, hairdresser did her own thing instead of following the pictures I showed her and I ended up looking like kate gosling circa 2009. went home and cried like a baby embarrassingly. luckily another hair dresser was able to fix it.. kind of.
I went from hair dresser to hair dresser ever since I went for short hair. For some reason short hair on girls completely phases hair dressers... I went for Supercuts once... and came out with basically a buzz cut... An actual buzzcut. I said, "Pixie cut..." and apparently that meant to the hairdresser 'I am going to shave off most of her hair'. I just... tried to... like it... and I couldn't... I wore hats for a really long time. Now I only let our family hair dresser for the whole 22 years I've been alive cut my hair. He knows me and he knows how to not fuck things up.
When i was in grade 8 i asked to get layers and the man made me look like Willy Wonka circa Tim Burton version... keep in mind i have curly hair and he straightened it (like an idiot, may i add) and then he cut it... Yunno hair cuts tend to look different with different hair textures so after i looked like i had chewbacca pubes on my head...
I've actually never gotten I hair cut that I truly liked, but I think the worst was when I went for a trim and lost no less than four inches and ended up with some kindergarten looking shit
I went to get my hair cut at a Visual Changes when I was in high school. I asked for a mohawk and the woman outright told me no??? and that it would look horrible on me??? She gave me this awful awful haircut. It was sort of like a mullet. With weird, wispy 1 inch bangs. I was so unhappy with it and the other hairdressers were so confused with what she'd done that they scheduled another haircut with a different hairdresser, free of charge. (I looked super cute with the mohawk, btw.)
Don't feel too bad about crying.... My mom recently got a bad haircut, she asked for a trim and it was cut super short and just awful, and she cried in the car. Later that day I chatted with five older women and they all told me they cried at least once over a horrible haircut. (I'd just like to add that your hair really doesn't look that bad!!)
The Saturday before freshman year of high school, I got a hair cut from a man who was watching a variety show and obviously cut my bangs crooked. I heard him "oops.." and he didn't look at me in the eye when he was finished. I don't even know why I got a hair cut. Anyway, my hair is a thousand feet long now so whatever, but still... freshman year, c'mon.
It's NOT WHERE YOU GO it's who you get. Trust me on this :)
Yes, my brother had a side part , (like me) and it turned out he got a way better side part... My person didn't even know what a side part was!!!
No... I have been to Supercuts and no matter who I had they fucked up.
Nah all Supercuts are bad
I have spent 25 years trying to describe how I wanted my hair to other people. Then I realized that If I wanted it done how I want it, I just needed to teach myself how to cut my own hair. My hair has been on point ever since :) Also, I now get free haircuts for life! Worth a try maybe?
Great vid :)

I tried cutting my own hair for the first time when i was in 4th grade... I was going for the side swept emo hair with all those layers? Yyyeah. all I can say is that I've definitely grown since then!! Lmao! But yes, cutting your own hair definitely has its benefits!!
one time I gave myself a perm
that's all

I found this great stylist who always gave me amazing haircuts, but she was also real expensive and one time I was like "oh I just need a trim, I'll run across to Supercuts. It'll be okay" Wrong. I had these great layers from the lady before and then after supercuts, it was clearly 3 layers of hair. I was like a cake. It was awful.
"I was like a cake." My sides.
Unfortunately in Cosmetology school they only teach you how to pass State Board and Learn in the Real world about cuts, sad but true, everyone starts out someway or another but it's also about COMMUNICATION talk to your stylist, show them pictures, tell them what you don't like about certain styles. Especially for my color people, tell them all about your hair, trust me there will be no regrets, #Hairstylist
I'll never understand why people blame the location and not the stylist, just because you get a shitty haircut from someone doesn't mean the salon is trash. Lmao
Had a similar SuperCuts experience and getting layers cut! I have pretty thick hair so when the hairdresser cut the top layer and let it fall, she just said "oh where'd it go" she tried to laugh it off, I did too, but she looked concerned as to where she just cut hair from. It came out totally uneven.
To generalize this as don't go to Supercuts video isn't fair. I manage and work as a stylist at a very good Supercuts salon, not an Academy. Hair Stylist Academy is for New to the company stylist who go through training before taking paying guests. I am sorry you had a bad experience but I can attest not all Supercuts are bad!
FUCK SUPERCUTS.
I went in there (first mistake) to get my haircut. Now, cutting ethnic hair is not the same as cutting white hair. So I asked if they could cut my kind of hair to which they replied, "of course!". So I sat in the chair (second mistake) and the lady tried combing through my hair....with a comb...my 5-6 millimeter long hair. Long story short, she fucked up my hair and it looked like we were off roading while she lined my hair up. I didn't leave the house for about a week.
I have a Korean friend who knows and only gets hers. It by stylists who specializes in her hair type. She told me going to an Asian hair salon is one of the few things she splurges on because if she goes to a regular salon they will screw it up.
One time, I decided I wanted "side bangs" or whatever and I'm not even kidding, the second she snipped the first strand I started freaking out and saying things like, "Ah no never mind abort this mission, etc." So I just had one singular strand of hair that was slightly shorter than the rest of my hair for awhile. It was super not embarrassing.
Of course you will get the bad haircut from some hairdressing student,because it is a STUDENT ))) Anyway I am a hairdresser too and the funniest thing is that if you are the hairdresser with short hair - you can*t cut your own hair unfortunately(personally I failed) and I had SOO many troubles with my own haircuts from other hairdressers... And cried few times as well,but the thing is - you need to find only one hairdresser which one you will like and stick to it !
I wanted to get a pretty big chunk of hair cut off (like boob length to bob right below ears) and then have that fade from black on top to aquamarine on bottom (an ombre if you will). I went to this place in the mall that a friend had recommended me called Lords and Ladies. The hairdresser I got seemed pretty nice but she was having a hard time understanding what I was trying to ask her even though I didn't think it was really that hard at all. First mistake she made was doing the color before the cut, which I know is "standard practice" for some fucking reason but the way she was doing it was that it looked like she was starting the colored part below where I wanted it cut (I was right) but I assumed it was some hairdresser thing and it was actually gonna be much higher so I didn't say anything. Then she starts the cut and she gave me SUCH a hard time about the length, which actually happens to me almost every time I get my hair cut. I kept saying I wanted it very short and she was like "are you SURE though?? that's really short! Let me just cut it to this length and you can tell me if you want it shorter!!!" which is fucking aggravating cuz I know what I want but I'm too nice to snap at people. So she did that and I told her to go shorter THREE times and it still was longer than I wanted but if she went shorter it would've cut the very little bit of color left off. The biggest kicker though: it costed me FOUR HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS when I went to the register. So I left a skathing review and never went back
Alright, this didn't happen to me but it happened to my younger sister. She was in 4th grade and she, too, wanted layers. She went to JC Penney's salon. She went in with her hair down past her shoulders and walked out with a bizarre bowl cut. I can't even describe it correctly. Short all the way around with TONS of layers making it even shorter. My poor sister had a tough enough time having to wear round glasses. Add this haircut and she aged 75 years.
Not a bad hair cut but a bad hair dye story, I went to a beauty academy and asked for my hair to be blonde. My hair was long like down to my butt all 1 length. Long story short 4 hours later. All my clothes I wore into the place were ruined with dye and I ended up walking out with pink hair, a full fringe and shoulder length hair.
wow. how did they mess it up so bad?
The lady that used to cut my hair doesn't know how to measure, I'm pretty sure. I donated my hair and when I went in I said I wanted to give 10 inches and she told me that her comb was 5 inches long so she'll measure out 2 comb lengths. When she tied it off it was really short, like just below my ears and I was like, are you sure that's 10, when I measured it at home it was a lot longer, almost to my shoulders, but she insisted. So she cut it off and my hair looked terrible! Going from hair that's down to your butt to hair that is really short is not a fun thing it's a shock. So I cried. When I got home and measured it was 15 inches, a lot longer than 10! In the end it went to kids with cancer, but I looked like a weirdo, since, to keep all the length I asked for a not styled at all cut.
When I was in fourth grade, my father took me to the barber, who I don't particularly care for, but I was used to being sheperded into the establishment on a regular basis. It was boring, there were only magazines for good ole hunting equipment and how to take care of your truck, and I knew that I'd be bored, so I brought my gameboy. As I sat around minding my own business playing the game, my father notifies me that its in fact my turn to get a cut. So I get into the barber's chair, and my dad asks me whether I want a cut like the guy who had just walked out. Mind you, I wasn't paying any attention at all, I was in the middle of the Elite Four, and whatever I could do to speed up the process and get back to playing was what I was going to do.
My dad warns me that it'll be short, to which I think, yay, that means I won't have to come back for a little while longer. Then the barber pulls out a contraption that I've seen him use before for the back of my hair, and just runs it across from the front to back and buzzes of a fifth of my hair. I am shocked. I tell him to put it back, because I don't want it that short, and he says he can't do anything about it now except cut the rest of it the same length. And so he continues to give me a buzz cut while I openly weep in the barber chair, and my father awkwardly laughs telling me its going to be fine and grow back. That was not a fun day.
Lol u copied a article smh
a hair person cut my ear hardcore when i was 5 so from 5 until 18 my dad cut my hair...terribly. got to a point where i just didn't want a haircut so my hair got crazy long. it was rough times.
so relateable! I'm blind without my glasses, and I had to take them off for my hair cut. I asked for a trim, I was pretty specific, and long story short I came out looking I came from the military...with practically no hair...
When I was a child I was taken to this place called "The Cutting Cabin" (it was a cabin style building with logs and everything). I had butt-length hair which was just going to be trimmed… came out with basically a diagonal line of hair with a slope of about 3 inches (noticeable). My mom took me somewhere else to fix it in the same afternoon.
When I was 10 my sister wanted to play "barbie barbershop" which I excitedly agreed to (I loved barbie at the time). Twenty minutes later I had only a few chunks of hair in the back, half inch straight across bangs, and "kick me" written on my forehead in sharpie.
I had the exact same problem at Supercuts! Instead of "layers", it was like they just cut one giant layer. My family and I refered to it as my "shelf" and I swear to god it took at least a year for that to grow out again.
In 4th grade I wanted to get my hair cut shoulder-length. My hair dresser cut my hair up to my ears. I held it together in the salon but I had quite the tantrum when I got home and I ended up wearing my hair with a bandana on it to cover the terrible haircut for probably about 6 months until it grew out some. I am now forever afraid of hairstylists tbh and basically only ever get a trim whenever I go now.
This is why I get my mom to do my hair.Thank God she went to hairdressing school and I can trust her ( mostly,sometimes she goes shorter than I want and I get a bit sniffly).Or I do it myself,I'm fairly competent.I mean I can get the same look every time which is why my hair hasn't changed in the past decade,but atleast it's consistent.
My experience from Supercuts in Stratham nh has always been great because I have great hairstylist, shout out to Melora. Always gave me the best haircut and good conversation. It depends on who’s cutting your hair. Plus, you’re hairstyle is pretty chic, different. It looks good
When I wanted to switch to purple hair, my stylist was all for it and all the other stylists were so excited. Instead of processing my dark hair, she put some "glaze" on it, spent 5 hours trying, and all I had was kind of a brown/red color in streaks. I held it together until another stylist had the nerve to say, "oh my god, purple looks so good on you!" I sobbed and still had to shell out almost $200 because of how much "dye" she used. Never again.
Took my new stylist 2 hours and $100 to do my whole head...good times.
The bowl cut incident happened to me several times, but then I learned that I can do my own hair in a mirror and then I have no one to blame but me... but I'm usually pretty happy with it
The last time I had a bad haircut was when I asked for layers in my elbow-length hair and she cut it to my shoulders. I never went back to a hair salon, I've been cutting it myself now for 8+ years now.
These stories make me wanna hug my stylist so hard.
You know how when your family or friends "have a friend that cuts hair" so they pressure you into supporting their "friend who cuts hair" and that "friend who cuts hair" is a poser? Yeah, this lady just grabbed my swoop bangs and chopped them off without asking what I wanted, so I had too short straight bangs for a while, and people were looking at me weird b/c was I trying to go for Spock or was I just appropriating Asian culture?
Don't let your loved ones pressure you into seeing their "friend who cuts hair."
+Raspberry Italia Similar case happened to someone in my family where one of my mums friends friend was a hairdresser and my auntie wanted an ombre brown to blonde look so she went to her. It looks like a dip dye of bleach (blonde) and not an ombre. My faded highlights looked more like an ombre than what my auntie got done..
I shaved a sidecut last month at a friend's house. I'm used to it now BUT BRO WAS I UPSET RIGHT AFTER I DID IT
I'm planning on dying my hair blue next week. It would be the first adventurous thing I've ever really done with my head, and I'm preparing for the scrutiny.
How’d it go? I’ve dyed my hair blue before too.
I specifically went into a salon asking for a buzzcut because I fried my hair so badly with bleach that it just started breaking off in half at the slightest tug. Pretty sure I can handle any other hair disaster that comes my way now. Except bowl cuts.
EVERY TIME!!! i made a whole video about the terrors of the hair dressers ! I despise going! but you have a beautiful face and a sense of humour so its all good :)
I've tried to explain my wishes to hairdressers using words. Using pictures. Using performance art. The only thing I haven't tried is singing them broadway songs.
They ALWAYS end up doing it differently. At the salon I go to nowadays, I always get the same girl who, in the beginning, would even get into arguments with me about how she doesn't like my ideas. But by now, we're getting around. Kind of. I only ever go to have my very ends trimmed.
Yeeah, I was fourteen and trying to grow out these awful bangs that may have looked cute when I was little, but definitely didn't anymore. I asked the lady to just trim the hair but told her a few times to not cut the bangs at all, because I was trying to grow them out. She turns me around when she finished and I see that in fact she did cut my bangs and made me lose almost all the progress I'd gained. I kept a straight face when there, but as soon I was gone I just sat in the bathroom and cried. I feel your pain.
i work at supercuts and i know it can be bad. they hire young and insecure stylists because they are easy to take advantage of. they send you to a clss for a week to learn their fucked up way of cutting which is extremely non ergonomical and bullshit. luckily my manager was like, look just do it their way in class and when u get on th floor, do it your way. they pretty much tilor cutting so that unexperienced stylists can do it, but ive been in high end salons for years so i do my own thing. only shitter is, im giving haircuts with my previous $80 a cut quality for $17. i only came back so i can rebuild my speed after a 2 yer maternity leave.
fabuloso fabuloso
I hope your employed in a better salon now getting paid with the rate you deserve. I always tollerate getting a slow and long haircut session because that's when my hair comes out looking perfect.
I had a haircut once where the buzzer wasn't working right and it was pulling my hair the entire haircut. The lady said she fixed it after my first complaint, and I was too scared to tell her she didn't.
That's the worst pain I've ever felt.
On more than one occasion I have asked for a bang trim, and the stylist gave me "versatile" mini bangs underneath my regular long bangs...my hair is incredibly thick and wavy so both times I left looking like I got drunk and cut my own hair. It's just the terrifying moment where you want to slow-mo shout NOOO but you can't for some reason...I actually gave up on stylists and cut my hair myself now. I think I do a pretty good job. And it's free!
One of my friends used to wear his hair long, like about shoulder+ length. I liked that, and tried it too. Usually I wear it short, still do vecause I later found my hair does not like being long. It clumps into locks and just is gross. But it was down near my nech at this point, making good progress, but its getting untidy. So we go for a slight trim at the place across the road from where we normally went and got sorted.
The destruction was slow. Laborious. Tedious. Excruciating. For over an hour they trimmed and pruned my blossoming mullet and rock locks, until it was shorter than I'd gotten it cut before I decided to grow it long. I was what, about 14?
Tears were shed. I wouldn't call them manly tears, but tears were shed.
And then there's the time they made me bleed with razor burn getting the back of the neck and my 'whorls' to behave.
When I was 8 my sister cut my hair from shoulder length to just below my ear - only on one side, though. That may be cool today but 1998 wasn't ready for that so I got a bowl cut the next morning instead of going to school. And the worst part is that my stepmom talks about how good that bowl cut looked on me to this day. I feel ya.
A few months ago I went to get a pixie cut and I specifically told the hairdresser that I wanted my bangs to swoop across my forehead. She ended up giving me a middle part and gelled the rest of my hair back
The worst for me was getting it cut way too short for a summer haircut. My hair grows pretty fast, and I wanted it shorter for summer, but it was just too much, and it looked really bad.
I don’t understand why you went along with the cut if you didn’t feel comfortable with her. I work for Supercuts and have a large clientele. Btw A bad haircut could be done at any salon. I personally have heard about bad experiences at high end salons, so ask questions next time make sure you know how much experience your stylist has.
I am waiting to have a good haircut first. the straight fringe looks bangin'.
Do I have stories about bad haircuts? Well, there was this time, in my early twenties, when literally a group of middle-school kids laughed at my haircut and one of them asked me if it was a wig. And then I shaved it all off. And decided this is the way to go. Does that make you feel any better? That I haven't lost my hair; I shave it every couple of days out of fear of laughing teens.
I haven't gone to get my hair cut in 10 years because it was cut up to my chin, about 5 inches too high, when I asked for a trim. I cried hysterically in my basement next to my dog for 3 hours.
My hair was below my shoulders and when I went to SUPERCUT. A lady had butcher it. I refused to tip her. Now I'm doing my best to handle such traggety before military homecoming.
The only time I ever cried getting my hair cut was when I cut my hair shorter for the first time. I would usually always have pretty longish hair, because I like how it looks on me, but I decided I wanted to try shorter hair. After I got it cut short and went home, I just stared at myself in the mirror and started to cry. And I cried more before I went to sleep.
But hey, I actually ended up liking it, after a few weeks!
I've never had a bad hair cutting experience at an actual salon, but my grandmother cut my hair once and it was terrible. I'm a guy and as far as my memory goes back I've always felt like I'm supposed to have long hair, when I was like 12 my mum finally let me grow it out. Twoish years later it had grown past my shoulders and I loved it. One day I had the grand idea to braid it in two braids and use rubber bands to tie them off with. The bands got stuck, so I asked my Gram to cut the bands out, instead she cut above the band cutting my hair off. She then told me she could "fix" it so I wet my hair and she began cutting. She cut it all one length right under my ear, cut bangs like an inch and a half above my eye brows that stretched past the top of my ears and then decided to give me "layers" by putting slants like one of these things '/' on the sides of my head. I then had to go to a family gathering right after and people who I didn't see for a while didn't recognize me and the ones that did laughed once they saw me and continued to die laughing as they walked away. When we got home my Gram felt bad and somehow managed to convince me she could "fix" that disaster. She didn't. people at school always picked on me for being the gay guy with the long blonde hair, but when I came into school with that lovely haircut all the people that made fun of me for having long hair said that I shouldn't have cut it and left it long. I don't trust anyone with my hair now, so I cut it myself & if it gets fucked up it's my own fault and I'm okay with that.
I used to do hair, but don't anymore. I didn't want to mess it up, because you can't just start over like makeup. So I do makeup now. So I don't have to make people cry. Cutting hair is terrifying.
I have had the same hairdresser since I was little, so I cannot deal with anyone else cutting my hair. Then I lived in France for a year in 2012 and I had to get it cut by someone different. The hairdresser was a man and he used an electric razor to do my entire haircut, it was the weirdest and most awful experience. I have trust issues now. Ava, I have so much sympathy for you x
I went to First Choice when I was in the sixth grade and asked for a pixie cut. The lady said I was "too young" for that, cut my hair into a shaggy Aaron Carter cut, and said that was as far as she would go. I cried like a little baby. I had the Bieber cut before Bieber was famous.
I feel your pain. I wanted a trim on my bangs before a high school dance. So I went to hair academy or whatever... As this chick was cutting my bangs she said "Oh sh*t". She gave me across the forehead bangs that were WAY to short, and I have a cowlick up in there. I kept so composed but didn't tip her. I went home and cried for a while then I wore my bangs pinned back for like two months.
One time when I was in second grade my mom took me to some barber to get my usual hair cut but yet did we know the man was drunk and instead of just trimming my hair he freaking shaved it ALL OFF I cried and had to go to school bald it was horrible. Plus he was smoking WHILE cutting my hair... I remember it so clearly.
i am went to a place called "Just cuts" which i think is Australia knock off of super cuts and i asked for a trim just nice and simple…she made me look like spock…i cried..i was 15 never went back and now pay way to much money for a simple cut at an amazing place called Azz hair design, they never let someone have weird hair, its great!
I had an apprentice hairdresser once, who when I asked for shoulder length hair [pretty self explanatory, right?] gave me a bob that ended at my ears. Apparently she couldn't get it level and that was the cause. I was also in year eight. I didn't cry there, but as soon as I looked in the mirror at home, the tears poured out. I didn't get my hair cut for two years after that.
I feel ya, going to the hairdressers is absolutely terrifying, they could take a shit on my head in the name of fashion and I'd be like "yeah, that's great, thanks so much" while screaming inside. Too awkward to say anything bad.
I went to a different place and whatever dye they used on my hair just ruined it. Like INCHES of split ends and damage. I cried. It's been almost 4 years and my hair has still not recovered fully.
I went through a "scene" phase. In my eighth grade photo it looks like a dead cat on my head.
Also I've been a ginger bald kid before;// fun times
Multiple times that I've gotten "layers" I've essentially gotten a bowl cut on top of my hair. ugh. I just want my hair to look gooooood
I so feel you right now. This has nothing to do with hair cuts but earlier today I happened to go off on one of the people I work with. We kept saying crap back and forth to the point where I, being the emotional person I am, started crying because she took it too far. So in the end I got her keys and broke this owl hand sanitizer rubber thing off her key chain. Long story short, I started a fight, she made me cry and now I'm paying her $5.
I went to Great Clips and asked them to take the bulk out of my sideburns because they were getting poofy. The lady gave me tracks on both sides of my head.
I didnt notice them in the salon's light, but when i got home and showered, i realized all these weird lines of the side of my hair!
I went back and they tried to fix it, but you could still see faint lines.
At least I didnt cry lolololol aw ava.
I have a phobia of hair cuts and have never gotten one I liked until 3 weeks ago. It's really worth it to do your research and find the person you want to cut your hair. If you don't want a particular person to do it, the don't let them do it. That's my new rule for life.
***** I have curly hair and it just needs to be cut in a particular way or else it won't sit properly. It's cut dry, then wet, then dried again. If you like the way you cut it though, that's great. A really great stylist however will make sure it's healthy and looks good. I just had to let go. And I'm sorry if you suffer with panic attacks, I do too x
So I was in my schools production of Robin Hood and I got the role of friar Tuck. I was happy until my drama teacher told me that I had to cut my hair like a friar. That means completely bald on the top with a circle of long hair around it. Needless to say I wore a lot of hats.
My hair is now down below my bottom. But in 4th grade my parents thought it was a perfect idea to give me a pixie cut. Now I would have been fine with this if I had not been half asleep coming back from a trip. Sure it only took me a few years to grow my hair out but ... I was asleep and lost My hair
I bought my own hair clippers and started cutting my own hair. I've always hated going to a barber shop since I was little because they cut my soft, delicate, angel-kissed black locks off every time. My hair is completely different than how it use to be, so to avoid further disappointments and homicide attempts, I learned to do it my damn self.
the worst hair cut i got must of been about a year ago, I didn't know what the cut i got before was called so i went with a childhood favourite of mine which was 2 on the top one on the sides and a bit of a fringe. Not realising that the last time i got that i was maybe 10 or 11 I was pretty much almost bald for a solid 2 months. But on the upside didn't have to get my hair cut for a while.
I actually just got back from Supercuts lol. I think they're good if you're a guy and you want a short hair cut aka a simple, basic cut. I get my hair done short on the sides and longer on the top and I've never had a issue with length. I also don't get my hair styled.
I've had two traumatizing haircut experiences. The first was about 7 years ago. I'd had my bangs grown out since I was about 10 and I decided I wanted some side swept bangs. I went to the salon at Walmart and she literally cut about a 1/2 inch section short and called it bangs. I literally had just this tiny weird part of my hair hanging around the side of my forehead.
The second one was about 3 years ago. I decided I wanted to cut my hair super short. I went to a salon and told her i wanted a layered bob. she cut it into a bowl and layered it underneath. So it looked like a weird stacked bowl cut.
I cried both times.
I got the worst haircut ever in December of last year. I have bangs that go above my eyes and I just wanted a trim. She cut them extremely too short and it looked like how Beyoncé currently has her bangs now. I had never felt so ugly in my life and I cried. Now I go to a new lady and haven't had a bad experience yet.
The length my hair's at right now is the length at which I wanted my pixie cut in the first place, but when I went for my appointment the dude who usually cuts my hair was busy so I was like okay nbd I'll just let this other person cut my hair. I think alarms in my head should have gone off when she asked me, "Do you like anime?"
Then she gave me the bowl cut I had when I was 4, and I almost started crying. Finally the dude who usually cuts my hair was like oh crap!! I'll fix that for you! He salvaged my hair, but it was way shorter than I wanted it, and it's taken me a year for me to actually be in the grow out phase rather than the mullet phase. Every time I tried to get the back trimmed, the stylist would just cut everything. What my pixie cut taught me: Trust no bitch.
Dying at "do you like Anime", Haha. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Thanks fr sharing :)
When I was 13, my mum's bf at the time thought it would be a good idea if I shaved my hair...so I had a grade 1 all over my head. I cried when I got home and begged my mum to not take me to school the next day...that was a fun few weeks.
I have a bad hairstyling story. I went to get my hair done for prom (only in grade 12 in Canada) and first several people asked me if it was my grade 8 grad which gave my self esteem a hit.
Then instead of doing the soft french braid leading into my hair at the side in waves like I asked for the stylist gave me a tight french braid that led into a pippy long stocking type pig tail (just one) out the side of my head. I told her I hated it and she tried to convince me it was great...
I left with it looking the way I wanted at least
Speaking as a photographer I need to tell you that your eyes are amazing. You would work very well in Lifestyle photos.
Sky1 Who the fuck asked you
A while back I gave myself bangs and bleached my hair at home. (my natural hair color is nearly black).
I was going through a Taylor Swift stage.
My then orange streaky hair was paired with uneven bangs
Needless to say, those months just enhanced my awkward teenage self.
In our tiny town, we had a barber who everyone called, "Mick the Mower". (Not to his face I assume.) My fathers solution was that He take 'barbering' into his own hands, and bought some clippers, which he set to 1/4". For many years, my brother and I would have to endure the shame of siting on a footstool, clamped between Fathers knees, and getting sheared like sheep. As I was a child of the 60s, all I wanted was long hair, and when I got to full height, I started growing it out. Almost everyone did. I still wear it pretty long. And yes, many buckets of tears got shed over those years when I felt and looked, basically, bald.
=Me.=
My grandfather, my father, all of my uncles, and my cousin are barbers and one day when i was 14 my mom took me to super cuts to get my hair cut. The next day i went to my grandmothers house where all of them were at and got made fun of for the whole hour i was there because it was REALLY uneven. Today is my 18 birthday and when i go to my birthday party one of them is most likely going to bring it up. I know what your going through and then some.
When I was a kid my family was moving to a new town and had to find a new place to go to for our haircuts. During that process we went to Walmart because my hair grows fast and my mom didn't want to wait anymore. The only thing we told the lady was to not give me a buzz cut, and the first thing she did was take an electric razor and take my hair from four inches down to a half inch. Boy that was perfect...
Picture it, High School, 2007, My mother thought my hair was too thick, and my older brother talked my mother into shaving from right over my ear around the back to the other ear all the way down. It was as short as could be and then the hair on top of my head came down pat my neck. I dont know how but it made my hair look stringy as fuck, and it was just an all around bad, thing, I almost cried....
I always like my new haicuts for the 5 minutes I'm still in the store, and then after a bike-ride home I hate it for two full weeks. I completely hate everything about every haircut I ever get for two weeks. Now I try to brace myself for the hate, but... aaah, I'm going this Saturday again! WHY? (you know what helps though; color! liking the color helps forgetting about the cut)
On Thursday I had a hair cut, I asked for a trim and she cut off 5 INCHES , its fair to say that since she had been my hairdresser since I was a child, that I didn't want to cry in front of her so I held it in, but the moment I got out of there I was in tears.
Will you share a picture of that 8th grade haircut with us lol and what did the hair cutter at that academy say when you started to cry 😳
How far did you stick your nose up her ace?
Get this - I had damaged my hair being stupid with bleach. Like you I tend to think "it's just hair" so I opted to buzz it off. You can go to supercuts for THAT right? Wrong. The woman insisted on trying to "make it girly" by shaving the part in front of the ears to be pointed... and she didn't even manage to buzz it all evenly. How the fuck do you become a hair dresser and can't even buzz off hair? Also I told her 8 times "please don't do that" to pointing the sides that way. And she just was like "I'm going to do it" I almost slapped her. Never go there.
I think the last time I had a horrible haircut was done by myself. I tried to trim my fringe but I cut it waaaay to short. I pinned it back to hide how bad it was, but I showed a friend and she laughed. yup
My mother used to cut my full on bangs. She would cut them way too short and I would bawl my eyes out. It's funny how short bangs became a style….. I wish that was my situation, HA! Don't feel too awful :)
I cry over bad haircuts about every 6 months when I get the sudden urge to cut my own bangs. Will send pics when I regret cutting them again in about 2 months.
When I was around 7 I had hair down past my shoulders, my Mom took me for a hair cut and I came out looking like a boy..... a pixie cut it was called. All because my Mom couldn't deal with my hair. lol To be fair, her hair is very fine and not much of it so dealing with my thick coarse hair was beyond her. lol I've only ever gone back to get a hair cut fixed once. I lived with an asymmetrical hair cut for about a week and then went back and make her change it. :D I have to say, I don't remember ever crying over my hair though.
My barber always uses blunt scissors they kill like hell but hes only a 3 minute walk away so I keep going back
I have trichotillomania and every haircut is a bad haircut. No matter what anyone does to my hair I always pull it out and it always looks awful. And it doesn't help that some hairdressers are insensitive about trich. I swear if another stylist goes "Well why don't you just stop pulling out your hair?" I'm going to scream. My boyfriend is a hair stylist and I don't even let him touch my hair; I get so anxious about it. Trich makes simple hair matters so stressful and sometimes painful. I can't remember the last time I was satisfied with my hair or had an easy time with the haircut.
if i do not go to my aunt to get a haircut it's terrible because my hair is too thick one time i got my haircut at a place and the person thought layering and thinning was the same thing, and she layered it wrong and it was still thick.
went to get a pixie cut, hairdresser did her own thing instead of following the pictures I showed her and I ended up looking like kate gosling circa 2009. went home and cried like a baby embarrassingly. luckily another hair dresser was able to fix it.. kind of.
I went from hair dresser to hair dresser ever since I went for short hair. For some reason short hair on girls completely phases hair dressers... I went for Supercuts once... and came out with basically a buzz cut... An actual buzzcut. I said, "Pixie cut..." and apparently that meant to the hairdresser 'I am going to shave off most of her hair'. I just... tried to... like it... and I couldn't... I wore hats for a really long time. Now I only let our family hair dresser for the whole 22 years I've been alive cut my hair. He knows me and he knows how to not fuck things up.
1:03 Oh my fucking god you had me QUAKING when you said this
When i was in grade 8 i asked to get layers and the man made me look like Willy Wonka circa Tim Burton version... keep in mind i have curly hair and he straightened it (like an idiot, may i add) and then he cut it... Yunno hair cuts tend to look different with different hair textures so after i looked like i had chewbacca pubes on my head...
I've actually never gotten I hair cut that I truly liked, but I think the worst was when I went for a trim and lost no less than four inches and ended up with some kindergarten looking shit
I went to get my hair cut at a Visual Changes when I was in high school. I asked for a mohawk and the woman outright told me no??? and that it would look horrible on me??? She gave me this awful awful haircut. It was sort of like a mullet. With weird, wispy 1 inch bangs. I was so unhappy with it and the other hairdressers were so confused with what she'd done that they scheduled another haircut with a different hairdresser, free of charge. (I looked super cute with the mohawk, btw.)
Don't feel too bad about crying.... My mom recently got a bad haircut, she asked for a trim and it was cut super short and just awful, and she cried in the car. Later that day I chatted with five older women and they all told me they cried at least once over a horrible haircut. (I'd just like to add that your hair really doesn't look that bad!!)
The Saturday before freshman year of high school, I got a hair cut from a man who was watching a variety show and obviously cut my bangs crooked. I heard him "oops.." and he didn't look at me in the eye when he was finished. I don't even know why I got a hair cut. Anyway, my hair is a thousand feet long now so whatever, but still... freshman year, c'mon.
One time I wanted 1 in and they cut 4 inches off I cried too
A 1 is short.
