I told the stylist I wanted bangs that were resting on my eyebrows and that blended into the rest of my hair to frame my face. She cut them wet which I didn’t think about at the time but I remembered when I got home that I’ve never had that happen before… looked it up and it’s well known that you shouldn’t do that! This is what I got. I even told her I’d rather start longer because we can’t put the hair back on and she agreed! She asked what I thought and I told her that I think we had two different ideas of what “on the eyebrows” meant and she didn’t even say sorry, she just stood there, so I had to fill the silence by saying it would be ok and I’m sure it would look cute when it dried. She didn’t even dry my hair, and it’s 40 degrees and a little windy outside! I won’t be able to fix this and am going to have to buy headbands to cover it up. This is what it looks like when I dried it at home. Uneven, choppy, short. Sad thing is that I saw several other women recovering absolutely gorgeous haircuts! I left with my self confidence crushed. :(

Very quick getting in but they did an awful job. Everything is uneven and honestly just seems rushed. Won’t ever go back and wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
