Did my hairdresser mess up my hair or am I the problem?
I LOOK LIKE A PENCIL
(1-3 original hair [before]
4 straight out of the salon [after]
5-7 home after nap [after]
8-11 reference pics)
I shaved my hair a year ago because of my mental health and I didn’t like how overgrown and bulky it looked now.
I wanted a bixie cut with volume at the back and wispy bangs— I tried to communicate this to the hairdresser but…. I ended up looking more like a mushroom by the end :( This was a Japanese hair dresser in Hong Kong and I paid quite out of my budget for it ($590 HKD), perhaps there was a miscommunication? Maybe my hair isn’t capable of looking like that?
I’ve always had a problem with speaking up for myself because I don’t want other people to think I’m rude or unhappy so I didn’t say anything. Instead I cried on the way home and took a nap. I really really hate how it looks…. I wish I had one good haircut in my life :(
I’m wondering if I’m overthinking this? Or if I’m not styling it correctly? Is it possible to fix this? Did my stylist misunderstand me or was under skilled?
I have painstakingly grown out my hair since cutting it all off during a mental breakdown which is why this haircut meant so much to me. I really wanted to look pretty and maybe own my short hair a bit. Because of my hair texture, every stylist I’ve ever been to since I have been born has never given me a good haircut as they’re not used to working on folks outside of pin straight hair. :(((( I’m really upset and I just want to figure out what to do now.
