I asked person to cut 3 or 5 inches of split end and layer, she cut front sides short 6-8 inches of hair by accident and asked me how I felt about u cut in rear hair - and cut back to match. When I saw cutting guide I should have left. If someone puts measuring guide on when your your getting a haircut leave immediately…. is heavy and goes in back as guide while your getting haircut. Even with guide she cut more tan wanted. . I lost 8-10 of hair. I went from middle back length to shoulder because she doesn’t know what the heck she is doing or has poor depth perception. . Older lady short hair avoid at all cost Arden great clips airport road, asheville, nc. Missing 8-10 at least inches of hair before starting a new job. You demolished me, you took away what little self respect I had by cutting all my hair off.
