Asked for a trim, got a wolf/butterfly cut. HATE IT. Fix?
 | I went in for a trim, told the hair dresser that I never really style my hair, only air dry or blow dry sometimes. Good amount of breakage, knew I’d need a couple inches off. I asked what cut could help make my natural hair look a bit better, she said some layers. When describing it, she said “not a wolf cut”. I said sure. After the wash we were talking more about my past hair cuts and I said I loved when I had my bangs with minimal layers and long hair, but didn’t want to commit to the effort of a haircut I need to style. She said the layers were very different than that. I said I understood that layers are different than the previous cut, and said that I wasn’t looking for a major change right now, just a trim and some shaping. She said the cut would be classic and simple. She dries it, and it looks awful. It looks like a bob with long hair underneath. It’s like she took the hair on the top, but towards the back of my head, and cut it chin length. I said all this to her. I wasn’t rude, but I said it really didn’t feel like what she described and I really disliked the look. I had to run because I had a doctors appointment right after, so I paid and called back after. She said she didn’t hear me say no major changes, and she admitted she probably should have explained the cut and shown me pictures. I just don’t know how she thought this was the move. I explained I play and coach sports as a job, and don’t like styling my hair so I like to keep it easy to pull back and unfussy. I said I need to be able to braid it for the ocean diving I do three times a week. I can’t even do that with this cut. She called it a butterfly cut after she dried it, and after looking that up, I never would have agreed. It’s foul on me, and so far from my aesthetic. I can’t understand why she did this. I asked what we can do, understanding that theres no way to put the hair back now… She said she wanted to do some thinning to take out bulk. I don’t want to lose any more hair, but I feel like this will grow out awfully as is. Any suggestion on what can be done to correct a butterfly cut? Edit: would post a picture but I had it pulled back because I start crying when I see it and it wouldn’t be fair of me to post it all wonky from a ponytail edit 2: added photos [link] [comments] |
