    Go back and ask them to fix it. Why didn't you tell them at the time you weren't happy with it?

    Then nothing you can do now, if you've been to another hairdresser. You should have gone back to the original one.

    Hair styles like fashion is in the eye of the beholder. Someone else might love to have their hair looking like yours.

    Change hair stylist. I can't see what else you can do. If you really hate the style change stylist & get a trim now

    I went to a different salon and they pointed it out.

    It was all different lenghts and cut awful

    Were you happy with it before it was pointed out to you?

    The day of straight layers is gone. Lots of stylists prefer a feathered look

    There's an old adage that a hairdresser, or barber, will always tell someone that their previous stylist mad a bad job of a cut.

    Totally agree
    I had hair salons and barber shops for almost 30 years. I used to love hearing the odd client reply "you did" when asked who cut this last.

    Just trying to understand here, so I can try to give some advice

    You got a haircut at Salon A. Were you happy leaving A?

    You then went to Salon B. Why? Was it to get a blow dry etc?

    I would add:

    Did you let Salon B do anything to 'fix' the styling? Because if you did, you now have no business going back to Salon A.

    I had your problem and i did highlight at the hairdresser before I left that I was not totally satisfied, yet I had gone there a lot in the past, and they charged me in full, did not address it, only told me that they had used a lot of time and product on it, but anyway they will not have me as a customer any more

    whats the time frame between original cut and second hairdresser complaining about it

    whats the time frame between original cut and second hairdresser complaining about it

    It was a couple weeks. Now Im after realising that Salon B did an even worse job. It was chopped up and its an even. They cut loads of it and its terrible and thats what is uneven. Im thinking now that the first one was not as bad aa it is now I did this last Saturday

    So you walked around perfectly happy for 'a couple of weeks' until someone else told you that it wasn't a great cut and NOW you're looking to do something about it?

    :rolleyes:

    On the odd chance you're not actually a troll.....just go to a different hair dressers

    I was very happy for a couple weeks went to the 2nd hairdresser she told me not cut wright. So I got her to cut it and now its worse than when it was cut previously.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 568 ✭✭✭HelgaWard


    The length can look lopsided if the parting is changed, did both hair dressers use the same parting when cutting you hair?

    Well I guess there's really only one option open to you at this stage....large scale social media campaign demanding justice for your hair.

    Don't forget a catchy #hashtag

    Let it grow, let it grow
    Can't hold it back anymore
    Let it grow, let it grow
    Turn away and slam the door

    Here I stand and here I stay
    Let the storm rage on
    My hair never bothered me anyway

    How, exactly? :confused:


    You initially left Salon A happy, it's now weeks later, and someone else has had a go at it in the meantime.


    I really can't see what you can do about it at this stage!


    But do keep us posted, I'm intrigued!!!


    (BTW, the one good thing about (even dodgy) hairstyles is it'll always grow back again)

    Men traditionally do. A barber could have a life long customer. The customer will most likely be happy with the same cut all his life

    Ladies hairdressing is different. Ladies tend to change their style often. Cutting their shorter & shorter then growing it out again. Some ladies change hair salons as often as my wife changes shampoo.

    Same thing happened me a few years ago. Salon A cut my hair, I wasn’t sure about it, but with all the product/professional blow dry etc I thought it would be ok. Over the next week, I realised it was a really bad cut, couldn’t manage it myself at all. They had hacked into it so it was impossible to style.

    Went to salon B to try and rectify it and they did their best, but salon A had done such a hatchet job, there wasn’t a lot salon B could do without leaving it really really short. So I just had to put up with it for a couple of months.

    I don’t blame the OP for not realising it was a bad cut straight away, your hair always looks great leaving the salon, the proof is in how well it looks when you style it yourself.

    OP, maybe salon B did the best they could but due to how it was cut before, they might not have been able to do much without leaving it very short. I don’t think you have any comeback at this stage. If you had an issue I think it would need to be high lighted there and then or at least in a couple of days.

    Try not to worry about it, I know it’s frustrating but at least hair grows back!
