How to deal with a disappointing new hair style?

I just had my waist-length hair cut by my long-time stylist (of about 15 years). I gave him only four directives before he began: Make it age-appropriate, flattering, easy to maintain, and no coloring. The resulting cut is just OK and not the transporting experience I'd hoped for. While it's true that the new style's unfamiliarity may be adding to my unhappiness, it's just not flattering. In fact, it's the way my mother-in-law wears her hair.

If you were me, would you live with it, call the stylist and tell him the situation, or make an appointment with someone new?

And if you suggest revisiting the stylist, would you expect that I would have to pay again?

Thanks...

I totally know how you feel. I know I can't see it but you may want to leave it alone, because some times a little bit of new growth starts making it hang allot better,sometimes things that look bad or to blunt or what ever kind of blend in with some new growth, some new growth can even blend the cut when it is actually cut wrong also. If you have it re cut,you may still hate it and your hair will be even shorter. Trust me I totally know where you are coming from. Give it three or four weeks and then if you really can not stand it go have it tweaked a little at the salon. Good luck

Oiy, a bad cut is hard to fix. You probably should have given him objective directions because the things you said are so subjective--they can mean different things to different people, so neither of you is at fault.

Can you post a picture? Maybe it's not bad--you're just not used to it.

I would definately contact the stylist and tell them that you are not satisfied. And they should NOT charge you for something you've already paid for. You are probably not the only person that has done this before. It's your hair, you need to make it clear that you do not like it. .. Good luck!

I recommend that you let your hair grow long(out) again. If you do not like the way your hair grows, then you may have to return to your favorite hairstyle that your stylist knows you like.

Honestly you asked your stylist to remember all of your directives.

Revisit the stylist and tell him you want him to *fix this*. Remind him of the directive that it be flattering and say that you don't feel that it is flattering. If he is not willing to fix it free of charge, get another stylist and go there from now on. If your stylist isn't interested in keeping a long term customer, he's got worse problems than bad taste in styles!
