    I went for a haircut last week in my usual salon. My usual stylist was sick I got a new lady who had joined the salon recently. She blew dried my hair and then cut it. :confused: She said this was the way she was taught. Since then I don't feel like my hair was cut properly and I'm not happy with it.

    I've only ever seen children or men get a dry cut but never a women. Is this a new way to cut hair. Have any of you seen it before?

    My mother, who is in her seventies, has only ever had a dry cut.

    I had one once, didn't really like it.

    it's still an option given in all salons, I get my hair cut in peter marks and they always ask if i want a dry cut or a wash and blow dry so it's completely normal, I'm 25 so not that old :P My mother is in her 40's and always gets a dry cut, she has short hair though. You should have specified to the hair dresser before hand. But if your not happy with the cut just go back and get it fixed up.

    Are you actually unhappy with how your hair looks or feels, or does it just feel strange that things were done differently?
    I've seen my hairdresser blowdry other customers' hair before cutting, whereas she always cuts mine while still damp. One particular customer requests a dry cut because it means she can see exactly how it will turn out... horses for courses I suppose!

    When she started to blow dry my hair I told her I wanted it cut and she said she was taught to cut hair dry and couldn't cut it wet. I wasn't offered a different stylist but I didn't ask for one either. My hair has a natural curl so don't think you can cut it properly dry. Even when I was a kid and my mam brought me for haircuts they would also wet my hair.

    At 43 it could be that I'm just use to wet haircuts so something different has thrown me. I'll drop in tomorrow and speak to my usual stylist.

    Thanks for the input all. :)

    Oh I didn't know your hair was curly, I understood that curly hair should always be cut dry because it's so much shorter when dry?!

    I've been going to a salon that specialises in curly hair and they don't wash the hair, they just spritz a little water in. It makes for a better cut because they can see how each curl is going to sit; they don't all curl the exact same.

    That being said, you don't get the same swishy 'just been to the hairdressers' feeling, which I do miss. It might explain why the OP feels odd about it.

    I asked for a dry cut in PM a while back and they said they don't do them, weird. I much prefer a dry cut because it means the stylist is cutting your hair with whatever way it naturally sits when dry rather than being cut and then blowdried into place. I just do my own cut now on dry hair.

    Really? That's strange maybe it depends on the stylist, the girl in PM who cut my hair on Friday cut half my fringe while wet then the rest when it was dry, I have a bounCE in my fringe so that's probably why.

    They always did my fringe wet and dry like that but not a full head dry. Maybe as you say it depends on the stylists available
