More Evidence for My Theory
I have a theory that the people who work at lower end hair cutting establishments only know about 3 basic hair cuts for women. If they show more ability then they quickly move on to higher priced places so if you manage to get a good one you won't ever see him or her again. Lower end being under $50 for a hair cut.
I base this theory on the fact that I can bring in pictures of the hair cut I want, on models with different textures of hair even, and leave with a hair cut that looks almost exactly unlike the picture but does bear a strong resemblance to the hair cut I got the last time I had my hair cut before I grew it out to try again. Even if it's been years and the cut was done in a different town by a different stylist.
There is ONE short cut, ONE Medium cut, and One way of trimming long hair that must get taught in the first month of beauty school and ingrained into the trainees. Then when they are faced with a hair cut they don't know how to do instead of admitting it they automatically revert to the default cut.
I showed the woman a hair cut that was very short on the sides and back with the top being in long layers that came down to the top of the ear in length. I have very short everywhere with very short badly done layers up top that want to go kinda squarish.
The woman in the photo had the long layers softly lifted a little to fall in gentle feminine waves to mingle with the bangs which were nearly to the eyes. I barely have any bangs left and I look fairly butch. Plus when the styling part came and she blow dried it she tried to arrange what's left into a style that would be appropriate for a 60 year old church lady of 2 decades ago, not the professional modern woman in the pic. She brushed everything back from the bangs in that little poofed up way that women who used to wear a bouffant hairdo do when they decide to compromise and get their hair cut short because they finally admit that the previous hairdo is out of style and not coming back. I fixed this before I left and she looked a little put out with me interfering with her masterpiece.
I first noticed this phenomenon when my mother would take me to her hair stylist and the woman would ask me what I wanted. Every time I would say that I didn't really care as long as I didn't have those stupid feathering side whatsits that were popular in then ('77) and every single time I would leave with those stupid feathering side whatsists. I finally just had the whole mess cut as short as it would go and then didn't get another hair cut for 4 years and that was a trim of the split ends.
I'm starting to remember why I ended up with waist length hair at one point. My hair is not of a texture that really looks good waist length but I could braid it and save a lot of hassle.
I also had the color redone and the shade I got was NOT the shade I asked for at all and she used permanent dye instead of semi-permanent without consulting me so I'm not sure how redoing it will go. It's an okay color and I can live with it for a couple of months but it's not what I wanted dang it!
