3 /5 Emily Meng: i had an okay experience with my most recent haircut. i came in hoping to get an inch or so taken off and thin bangs, but when i offered to show a photo, he said there was no need. i was a little confused but stayed hopeful, indicating that i wanted to keep my hair right at my shoulders and no shorter. he said that it’s better to keep it short at the back, which was fine, but then he took out buzzers and started to shave the back of my neck, which is when i started to be a little concerned about the length.
my current hair is at least 2-3 inches too short and nowhere near what i asked for in terms of length (i indicated with my hands where i wanted it to get cut at, and was clear that i didn’t want it to go above there), and there is no hair at the back of my neck because it was buzzed off.
it’s also uneven, which you can see in the photo. part of this falls on me because i wasn’t more assertive in showing him the inspiration photo i wanted but based on the positive reviews here i was hoping that he would still deliver what i was asking for.
i’m just overall disappointed that it was so short when i asked for only an inch or so cut off and now will have to wait at least a month or more for it to get back to the length i wanted it to be at. i’m not sure i’d be willing to come back, but maybe if i’m able to show him a photo next time i’ll have a better result. total cost was $60 before tax
