FYI - for those asking, I don’t live in NY. I had to travel for this appointment so going back and asking them to fix it isn’t worth it for me at this point. Plus I don’t even feel comfortable going back there at this point 🙃.
Also, please keep in mind that I NEVER straighten my hair (I haven’t straightened it in over 6 years). So devacuts are typically the best option for me. I know choppiness and unevenness can occur with devacuts and be more visible once your hair is straight but that is not something I have to deal with. My past devacuts we’re not this choppy or uneven while in its curly state and that is the point I was trying to make.
Sorry it dind't turn the way you wanted. You gave good advices on the questions to ask. I will keep them in mind if I ever want to try a deva cut
I was thinking about getting a devacut at devachan in soho 😞 I wish I knew who it was to avoid 😂 I’ll just won’t get a devacut. It’s the safest option 😭
Unfortunate. It's a horrible feeling when u are disappointed by a stylist....its like...dude.. I trusted you. Our hair can be our pride and joy...especially as much work as u put it. Sending much love!
Unfortunate! Honestly it's not noticeable until you point it out, so that's the silver lining
Sorry about your cut. I’ve been going to Soho for last 2 yrs (6 times) and I did have one bad cut with stylist who, when I said I wanted to keep my length and grow out... “well how much more do you want it to grow!?” Mind you, I big chopped and had inch long hair in 2015, so it was only about chin length on this visit. She cut my hair like it was straight... in large sections, rather than curl by curl. I told her I could have got this cut at J C Penney. Of course the results were uneven and choppy. I pointed out to her another stylist doing a proper Deva-advertised cut, complained at front desk, and was scheduled the following weekend with the stylist I pointed out and a couple of full-sized products gratis. Since then I’ve stayed with her.
It is important to let them know when you have any discomfort with the way things are going. $200 a shot entitles me to question stylist-if they get an attitude, they’re not the stylist for you.
Luckily I only have one person doing my hair and she knows my hair but you gave good advice and your hair looks great on camera😍
Oh 😭😭😭 I am so bummed and disappointed. You’re literally one of my favorite curly RUclipsr or just the favorite even and I was so exited for you and I’ve been waiting for your Deva experience for a longtime. Oh wow smh...😟💔
Awh thank you!!! 💕
Thank you for sharing! This was very informative and I would feel the same way, I hope your hair grows fast and I can’t wait for your next video ❤️✨ unfortunate
I hank you for watching!
I got my devacut in the devachan in soho, and after she cut my hair its looked great until she styled it and when I got home I re styled it and I was disappointed, spending 150 dollars on a hair cut that really isn’t worth it. Fast forward to 2 months later since my hair has grown out the shape is better and the cut is better but I know better then to spend those type of coins again!
Yes lesson learned for sure!
Unfortunate
When I had a devacut I wasn't madly in love with it because I had always had my hair blown out then cut. It was weird to have it cut in the curly state. I got a short tapered cut and it's been short for about 3yrs now. Btw I cut my own hair now (about every 3mos) and I love my hair. I don't think your hair looks bad however you know how you like it better than anyone. I have trust issues too.
I had the same experience I got a choppy cut too.... I would have done a better job after paying $150 I was very disappointed and she will come tell me come back in 5 months like really.. after tht cut I can never trust no one to cut my hair periodt!!!!
I’m so sorry!!!
I have mine cut by a Devacut stylist in West Hollywood, CA and always satisfied with my hair cut. My stylist has used Innersense and Uncle Funkys Daughter Curly Magic on my hair.
So glad you had a great experience ♥️
Lydia Tefera I’m going in July, my 4th time. Your hair is beautiful but girl I feel your pain.
♥️♥️
Corree is bomb!!! And sooo sweet.
See, this is why I stopped getting Devacuts! I went back to just layers so that my hair is even. I just couldn't deal with my hair being uneven.
Rosa Castillo Krewson Sounds good.
girl curl by curl cuts can end up really choppy because they don’t cut from how you style your hair . I have the same issue but I can’t tell on you . I ended up blending my hair myself. But curl by curl can definitely come out super uneven
i know how you feel i got a devacut like 3 weeks ago and it looked nice until i had to wash my hair myself its super uneven and i can only style it with a side part or else it looks weirds as hell :/ so now im just waiting for it to grow out more and have to trim it myself welp.
*Unfortunate...I have no tolerance wasting my money at a salon in my home town NYC. Your hair is gorgeous nontheless.*
Thank you!
I asked to get my hair a little bit off my neck + layers and my stylist cut 3 inches off and didn't give me layers. I managed to get it fixed, but I am trying to grow out my hair and it went from nearly shoulder length (pulled straight) to not quite chin length. When I went in to get it fixed, she didn't even apologize. She just told me it's normal to freak out after a big chop. Like? I didn't freak out because my hair is short, I freaked out because I asked for a trim and you gave me a pixie cut.
I’m so sorry 😭
😭😭😭 they definitely do treat you like you're clueless. You're so right for the most part they are only familiar with their own brand which is unfortunate. I had 4 unsatisfactory experiences with 2 stylist in my area. Last devacut was nov 2017. Devacuts seem to just be snip where they like not necessarily for all over evenness. 3 of my cuts were decent, one was too short 🙄 but the devacurl styling products DO NOT work for MY low porosity hair. I give up on them until they add hydrating stylers without coconut and proteins.
Thank you so so for sharing!
I would be mad too extremely thats why I don’t let anyone do my hair
Yeah it’s super frustrating 😭
Poor Lydia! You still look beautiful 💛 I hope things look up
Thank you so much!
😭bless your heart I am fortunate my curl can hide a lot. I am glad to know I am not the only one that doesn’t get my hair cut often.
12:30 - 12:43 so call them an let them know they messed up your hair. An have them fix it. Unfortunate..
I don’t live in New York, I traveled there for the cut. And at this point I’d rather have it get it fixed by someone I trust 😕
I absolutely agreed
I'm thinking when your hair didn't have product in it or the way you style your hair causes a different amount of shrinkage. So for a example when they styled it your curls on the left side were more elongated so they couldn't tell the choppiness. Then when go home and style the way you do your hair makes the curls shrink more in certain areas. I noticed that when I got my Deva cut. Even though she cut a lot of hair off I could tell my curls didn't shrink as much. So when I did my hair at home the shrinkage was too real and some of my looser areas were longer. So what I do after my hair is dry is a go in and stretch and shape my hair. I hope that helps you too! 😭
Yeah I’m gonna have to start doing that with my hair now too! Thank you for sharing 💕
This is why i would never let anyone cut my hair. My hair is HP and is completely different wet to dry to with products. Add different curls and shrinkage across my head and only I know how to trim it. It would take a lot to get me to give scissors to anyone else!!
I feel you! I got the ouidad cut in March! Won’t be going back. The struggle is real. It’s not terrible but I don’t like it. Nothing worse than hating your hair and paying for it.
getting a bad haircut is so disheartening. i got a bad one in January and i’ve hated my hair ever since.
I’m sorry sis!
It could definitely be worse. I understand your frustration. Just continue to stick with your staples and grow your hair out. I’m pretty sure you can even it up later on this year. 😉💙
I feel your pain girl! I got a bad DevaCut about 6 months ago & my hair is still in the process of growing back/recovering 😩😩
I’m sorry sis!
Unfortunate! So sorry girl! It’s happened to me twice with deva 😫 now I have uneven hair and idk how to fix it. Looking for someone to just cut my ends and hopefully even it out little by little.
@Melissa Valdez-Drexler I'm really sorry you experienced this twice. Uneven hair is no joke. I'm used to it, as that is how my natural hair grows. But for someone that doesn't have that going on naturally. It really makes me feel for you. I hope you can find someone to help you out as well.
Oh man, I can't comment unfortunate. Only because I kind of wanted to tear up at hearing your story. And have to give you major kudos for just feeling unsatisfied with your cut. Cause although it's not super noticable and you can likely blend it. But still, your hair has always been positively gorgeous and healthy since I began seeing your channel. So to have it messed up at all, is just really heartbreaking to me.
It also reminded me of when I got my hair "trimmed"/"tapered" back in Feb. And that dude totally had some kind of shaving a sheep dog fantasy. Cause it was like no trim I've ever had. Had my coils picked out like crazy. And he took clippers and shaved too deep into the coil, that there was barely anything I could do with it once I got home(even after washing, conditioning, and moisturizing it). Totally led me to not even wanting me to look at my own hair for 2 days. As I just could not believe I had lost 6 months of growth in 1 day like that. And I was back to a length where I could not even do anything with my hair at all. The only thing that pulled me out of my funk about it, was getting on here and learning how to finger coil. And thank the lord that my hair in it's infinite awesomeness at being able to take any kind of curl well, I was able to pull off those finger coils for quite a while.
And although I get what you are saying about making sure to talk to the stylist about what they are doing and going on. Which is very true. But I still feel like, sometimes you want to just give someone the benefit of the doubt and trust they are a true professional. And won't jack up your head.
Important to note that if you wear your hair curly, a devacut may be right for you because it is more of a choppy cut. If you straighten your hair after a devacut you will notice it that it is uneven. In your case it is noticeable that it was not cut correctly. UNFORTUNATE!!! 😔
On another note, this pic of me is with the UFD and my flaxseed Eco with castor oil.
Yeah I always wear my hair curly. I haven’t straighted it in over 6 years so that’s why I get devacuts. I have had successful cuts on the past but just not this time with this new stylist :/
Lydia Tefera I only mentioned that for your audience. I know you are aware. Sorry that happened to you. I’ve only had 1 Devacut. She shaped it perfectly, was very meticulous. I now trim my hair myself because it’s a little pricey. I just needed it shaped.
Thank you for sharing 💕
Lydia Tefera Now that I’m natural. It’s hard trusting anyone to do anything for my head. Thanks God I’m capable.
Unfortunate. It’s Lydia, Lydia, Lydiaaaaa. Your hair looks more voluminous. Thanks for sharing your experience..
Thank you!
Yesss! Arc Angel is so drying. But if yall ever go to devcachan in soho just got to Mia. The last girl I went to left me choppy. You deff have to vocal and you can tell them what products you want
Yeah I wish I was more specific about what products I wanted to use.
It's 'UNFORTUNATE" that you didn't get your hair cut the way you wanted but your hair will grow back and you'll get an amazing hair cut next time around.
telling her it'll just grow back is a slap in the face and diminishes her feelings. we know it's just hair and it'll grow back.. that's not the issue here!
@@Shalayah2010 Steup!!!!! Where in my comment or even the tone of it seems like i'm diminishing her feelings? If I wanted to do so I would have stated exactly that "It's just hair and it will grow back" so try not to read and interpret something that is not there.
Unfortunate... but you’re still gorg! ❤️
Crazy i did not fall for the hype of the deva salons !! I went to cut my hair in curls on 5th , downtown !
Where is that? Can't find them
134 W 23rd St New York, New York it is located inside Deify beauty lounge . Check out their page
Thanks
After many videos about experiences with Devacut I'm convinced that is not the way to go. Still think a good blowout and a dry cut is the way to go. P.S. and it is way cheaper too!
It's all about shape and not eveness with the deva cut. If it's looking choppy curly, imagine straight. I think most people after they get their hair done they do a quick look and look more closely when they get home because we fear if we don't like it, it would get awkward and we need to stop it. You seem so friendly and happy in person so I can imagine you in person being very easy going. This is very UNFORTUNATE
Totally understand and Yeah I agree but the shape just kinda looks uneven and unbalanced in person. 😕
Did they give you bangs??? Apparently they do that without asking. Many ppl go get there hair done at the salon then when they do it themselves it looks crazy😭😭😭(unfortunate)😭 They sound like they've been reciting things they heard about natural hair but don't know much smh
I just asked for long layers
@@LydiaTefera yea some of them don't do the hair cutting correctly
OMG, someone gave me the same cut but on both sides and gave me shorter layers:(
I went to the same salon but different stylist, my normal stylist wasn't taking appointments for whatever reason. I feel like people think because they're a "curl specialist" they think they can cut curls that look similar the same and just do a one fits all cut. She wasn't thorough, didn't ask questions and let me leave with damp hair and even finished shaping it on damp her. My crown is short and choppy which is makes it even more difficult to manage. Sorry for the rant, no one understood what I was trying to say but your story is relatable so I don't feel crazy anymore. Thanks for sharing!!! Unfortunate😔
Ugh I live in ny and I have no idea where to go. I was skeptical about devacurl, my only hope is moknowshair but she’s always booked and a little pricey.... unfortunate
Yeah I’ve heard good things about her!
UNFORTUNATE!!! I live in NYC.... I would never go to the Deva salon in SOHO... IJS! Sorry you had to go through that. I’ll tell my friends not to visit that salon in Soho! Thanks for the heads up!
Why her hair type?
I’m so sorry you had that experience. I’ve been cutting curly hair for 10 years now and it really is a great way to cut hair . Not everyone has the right touch though.
I'm curious about the dry cut...recently visited a DevaCurl certified stylist who insisted on dry-cutting my daughters' hair. We specifically stated that we did not wish for their hair to be cut/shaped, just treated...however, the stylist took out her scissors and snipped away. It was disheartening as she violated our wishes. In addition, dry-cutting their afro-textured hair was not wise considering that their ends tend to shrink and curl into each other (4c hair especially), which means that when dry, 2-3 inches of hair could be rolled up into what appears to be a little ball..."trimming" that little ball will in fact become "cutting". Afro-textured hair needs to be stretched in some way in order for the stylist to accurately see if he/she is actually trimming/cutting/shaping the hair. Wet or dry, it seems that some stylists are more concerned about how artistic they are with cutting rather than what the client requests. My girls walked away looking like fur balls. Their hair was crunchy as crackers...that NEVER happens with our personal regimen. We re-washed and used our usual processes when we got home in order to restore their hair to some semblance of what it was prior to arriving at the salon. I'm a certified hair practitioner (which I never mentioned to the stylist), so I understand the needs of hair in general...all the advice that we were given was "counter" healthy hair...The stylist had no clue!
😭 Unfortunate 🤭 oh ma goodness Lydia. On the plus, u still look gorgeous! Andddd I’m not letting anyone touch my hair lol
Thank you!
I got a deva cut, and I loved my hair cut, but my stylist did a terrible job styling my hair 😭
I want a deva cut so bad! Now I’m afraid because I have had a lot of bad hair care experiences. I will have to research salons!! I still love your hair though 💕💕💕UNFORTUNATE
The right side looks longer than the left
Girl Who Was The Stylist who did this because I'm tryna get a devacut in June and dont want that to happen to me
So happy I never went to them and took my time to find a good stylist
♥️♥️
UNFORTUNATE!!!! Girl I was thinking about going to Soho for a Devacut to see what all the hype is about. This video came right on time. Thank you Lydia.
#NoDevaCutForMe
I got a devacut last year and was disappointed as well. I had the same experience about them asking what products I use and them not knowing what they are. I also felt the person who cut my hair disapproved of the products I use which is mostly shea moisture. I didn't like that basically they want you to use deva products all the time but I guess that's to be expected. I do occasionally wear my hair straight so in the end I realized the devacut is not for me. Luckily, I went to a devacut specialist and not the devachan salon in soho so I paid much less.
😭 I just got my Deva Cut done by a certified stylist 2 weeks ago. She is ALWAYS booked, but I waited (this was my second cut with her). I'm with you. I have trust issues on what goes in my hair and who touches it. Unfortunate situation, but definitely a learning experience.
I got my Deva cut In SOHO as well. I didn't like it. It was very choppy...one side was longer than the other. Never again. Not worth the money and they don't use enough product.
So sorry that happened to you too! 😭
yeah i havent gone to a devacurl salon since i first big chopped. i only trust 2 stylists in the soho salon.
Yeah definitely don’t plan on going back after this
😭Awe man. I'm sorry this happened to you. Hopefully, you can find someone who will even it out or you can do it yourself. A lot of people have been successful at cutting/shaping their own hair.
Yeah I’m gonna let it grow out a little end thing try evening out myself
Your hair is still beautiful. 😊
Thank you love ♥️
Unfortunate... I really wanted to get my haircut at the Deva salon in Soho but it's so expensive and got mixed reviews and we have similar textures so I'm scared I'm going to have bad experience , you're hair still looks great though!
Awww im sorry 😢
Unfortunate * I never had a deva cut before however I saw lots of reviews I really didn't like how they cut freestyle. When my hair was relaxed my stylist really took her time and made sure she cut it evenly all over. I think it's really hard for people to cut curly hair.
Yeah I’ve had great devacuts in the past. It really just depends on the stylist.
That so UNFORTUNATE .. gurl that’s why I cut my own my hair I don’t trust anyone. ❤️🌙🌙
Yeah I’ve been trimming my own hair for the past 3 years I should have just done it myself
At Least is only that part and can be fixed... One time when I was like 14 I was in a salon because a wanted a trim, this lady start to cut it...then I saw what happened to my hair.. it was at my shoulders and my hair was long... that why I cut my hair...
unfortunate. i definitely feel your pain because i got a deva cut last august and it was uneven as well 😩😩. like you said it looked good when i was looking at it in the salon but then when i got home and actually styled it myself i could notice how uneven it was. i made it work tho and it wasnt that bad afterwards
If you still live in the DMV area, Noodleheads salon in Dupont Circle does a good job. I got my DC done there before. Sorry this happened to you!
Thanks for the suggestion sis!
@@LydiaTefera Anytime sis! ::hugs::
go to mo knows hair! Jewe jewe bee had an even worse situation and mo fixed it!!
Omggg I’m so sorry u had to go through that😭😭😭 getting a haircut that ur not satisfied with Is the worst
Lesson learned for sure 😭
Omg I’m so sorry that happened to you ! If your up for it which they prolly ruined it for you , Try a ouidad cut 💕
Omg this is why I haven’t done it yet.
😭
Should try a ouidad haircut, they cut it wet and its not choppy. Best decision, devacut was not for me 😂, still growing it out and its been 3 years
Haven’t heard of that kinda cut before!
Notification Squad!💜🙋🏾♀️ Damn sorry you didn't get what you wanted I'm the same I don't like when people don't listen. 😔😭😭 So Unfortunate. 😭
😭😭😭😭
I was planning on going in June now Idk... I want to find someone I can trust 🤦🏻♀️ Unfortunate.
😭
Unfortunate 😭 I don’t think it looks bad though. Your curls hide the choppiness well, and I think it’s something that is more noticeable to you than anyone else. Your hair still looks wonderful ❤️
My hair lays so differently day to day that one day my hair will look layered but with a decent U-shaped hemline, and the next it’ll look ragged 😂 and I have a bunch of textures on my head from 2c-4a (mixed race problems, lol). Which means that if I wear my hair down in a natural state it looks like a drunken two-year-old did my hair. So I just keep it in a somewhat stretched state to even things out and embrace the wild look and variable hemline if I’m going to wear my hair down. Friends say I pull off that look well, and *anytime I get frustrated with my hair I just remind myself that life is not a Pantene commercial.*
Unfortunate....sorry you had to go through this at least it wasn't a total wreak.
Very true!
It doesn’t look that bad to be honest. I do see the mistakes though since you pointed them out. Still very pretty.
Unfortunate...😢. I feel your pain. I just Big chopped last month. Horrible dry cut and heat damage. Then had to cut it again because it was so uneven and the shape was VERY unattractive. Just cut for the third time yesterday to taper it more but noticed today, it’s still shorter on one side 👿. I’m leaving it alone and dealing with it. But I love love love your videos and your vibe overall and I look forward to more. You look good though. 😘
I’m so sorry to hear that 😭😭😭😭
Thank you so much for watching ♥️
Unfortunate!!! Ughh that's sad scary and ridiculous. What a terrible feeling to get home and see hair got jacked especially after going to a curly hair cutting professional!
I know right 😭😭😭
That's too bad.... There's so many ways to hide a short or bad cut accesorize.... Anyways good thing hair always grows.
😭 It's unfortunate that your cut didn't turn out as you had hoped. But thankfully in a few months the choppiness will grow out. Still gorgeous curls.💜
Thank you!
😉❤ unfortunate but stunning as always 😍
Janae Mason recently got a diva cut and one side is longer than the other. 🤦🏾♀️ Unfortunate 😭 I hate that you didn't get the results you wanted. I have anxiety about people in my hair. The horror stories are terrifying!
😭😭😭😭
omg this is my biggest fear ☹️☹️ i haven’t had a trim in 3 yrs.
I would say trims are a little better than asking for layers. There’s less room for error with trims but then again it all depends on the stylist. I would recommend maybe trimming your ends on your own so they don’t become too dead!
Idk if you would consider it but bangs could definitely help with that shorter section
Unfortunately 😢 I was not happy with my first and last Devacut
I’m sorry 😭
Unfortunate
I feel your pain. Side part Lydia will have to come back for a while.
I still think that because of the unfortunate cut, they should be informed.
UNFORTUNATE: Girl, I went to DevaChan & they did the same crap to me! I didn’t get the full spectrum of the “cut” until I got home. I ended up going to my favorite Dominican salon & they gave me a real layered-cut. Thank God, hair grows back!
I could see it too
Yup!
Awwww, that really sucks you didn't like your cut. I love the UF Curly Magic. I bought it after watching you and I love it!!! Awww, it did look choppy. I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I absolutely love your hair and your recommendations typically always work for me!!! Your the best...and thank God your on point with your hair so it will grow back quick.
Thank you!!!!
@@LydiaTefera Your welcome.
😭
I hear horrible stories about deva cut in some salons
It is so unFortunate about your hair cut still looks good though! That's why I haven't had mine cut in years...trust issues
Thank you!
Use a flat iron medium heat to bump it and even it out,it'll grow back
Yeah it will ♥️
Unfortunate! I feel your pain. I had a bad experience with a stylist many years ago and that’s why to this day I do not trust anybody in my hair. I’ve been natural for 17 months and in that 17 months nobody has touched my hair except me. I’m sure there are great stylist out there but I don’t know any personally and I feel really really reluctant to go to someone that I don’t know. So I get what you’re saying but actually your hair does look great. You have really really beautiful hair anyway. But I know why you are a bit disappointed. It will grow back.
Thank you so much for sharing!
I knew your hair looked different... I’ll keep watching!!
♥️♥️♥️♥️
Unfortunate, Lydia. Thanks for sharing your experience and salon tips. Your hair is still gorgeous but I know it doesn’t change that you didn’t get what you paid for 🙁
😭😭😭😭😭😭
♥️😭
😭 Unfortunate
Honestly the price alone deters me from a devacut. I’m sorry that happened to you
Unfortunate! This is why l don't trust these hairdressers! I have been through bad experiences! Most of the time they cut off way too much of my hair instead of trimming it! Right now, l need a proper trim as l write but l am just too afraid to go!
Born and raised in New York and trust me I haven’t gotten a deva cut or trim from any of these salons. I don’t trust anybody with my hair, I’ve gotten my hair damaged the most with some of these salons.
You hair is still pretty.My hair was short and scary,nightmare scary.
