I'm also usually disappointed with my haircuts. Like, it doesn't look *bad*, it just wasn't really what I wanted. And it's expensive as hell to get it done in Dr. Phillips (admittedly, I also get color, which accounts for much of the $$. But still). I always want layers to offset the heaviness and I never really get them. I feel like I should *love* my hair for the amount I'm paying. I'm considering going somewhere else. I did get an unsolicited compliment on my hair at trivia night, so that was nice.
OMG, I usually drive out to Dr. Phillips or someplace snooty (Winter Park) for haircuts, and it doesn't seem to make a difference at all. I've had a few magical unicorn "good cuts", but it's completely random, I've tried sticking to the same salon where I got the good cut and the next time she'll hit me with something completely different even if I show pics of the cut I liked! Do not understand it!
Also, I do think that in our area it's difficult to get consistency because A) everything caters to tourists who are leaving in 5 minutes anyway and B) everything else caters to the huge retired senior population, and that is NOT the cut I want lol
We probably don't look all that bad :) But I'd like to FEEL confident after a haircut more often than once every 10 times I get one.
I had a series of bad haircuts as a teen and I was like, "Eff it!" and started cutting my own hair and never went back. Even when its not that great of a cut... (usually because I go in with no plan except, "what if I do.... this.....??") at least I have no one to blame and generally know what went wrong... and it was all free for the cost of a pair of nice barbering scissors (about $40) which I can't sharpen so I just buy a new pair every year and downgrade the old ones to utility scissors.
However, I also wear my hair below my shoulders so cutting my own hair is a lot easier. When I tried to do a short shaggy thing last time (below my ears, above my shoulders) it was 100x harder and did not come out as great as my other 'dos.
Yeah that's the problem, my hair is above shoulder length now. I'll have to wait at least a year before it's long enough to even try maintaining it myself. And meanwhile I'll still have to trim it up so the two separate layers she created will line up eventually. Sigh.
