I didn't go back because the only thing to fix it would've been to cut off the length, and I did NOT want that. Basically I have long hair, asked for layers, and they gave me really short layers on top with long hair in the back - it was seriously like a long mullet. It was horrible. In your case, I would go back , it seems like and easy enough fix! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1424411 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 12:23:30 +0000 Greentea 1424411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: oh good! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1424405 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 12:22:47 +0000 Greentea 1424405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: since it wasn't a "super expensive place," which in this case I am translating as "the nicest/ best place" I would personally go to a GREAT place and get it fixed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1424396 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 12:19:50 +0000 Michmarm 1424396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went back to get my hair redone (botched color and cut) and it turned out ok...I wouldn't say I liked it but it was ten times better than the original mess they left me with. They were really nice about it, but I never went back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1424387 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 12:16:32 +0000 autumnlove 1424387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ree723: Yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1424336 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 12:01:20 +0000 LuLu Mom 1424336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's my sister, so if it wasn't what i liked I made it very clear and she fixed it. I think you go back and explain, this happens a lot (I used to be a receptionist at a hair salon) don't worry you aren't the first or the last ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1424209 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 11:29:28 +0000 edelweiss 1424209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'm sorry, how disappointing! i bet you look great, but if it's that bad that you don't want to live with it, if you can maybe you could treat yourself to a fix at a different salon. maybe get a recommendation from a friend/coworker so you know the stylist is good, regardless of cost? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1424199 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 11:26:41 +0000 Mommy Finger 1424199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for a hair cut for for a hair style. My mom and I got our hair done someplace for my brother's wedding. I can't even describe what he did to my hair but it was awful. I came back to my mom almost in tears and told her we'd just have my aunt fix it. My mom said no and took me back to the guy. Apparently, he thought I was 13 and did my hair to reflect that. I was 20. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1423608 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 08:39:08 +0000 looch 1423608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The last thing I want to do is go back to the salon where I had a bad experience, and I have had lots, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1423554 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 08:18:38 +0000 erwoo 1423554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go back. Sorry it wasn't what you expected. I also find that bringing a picture in helps a lot. I recently found a new stylist (sort of) in a new country and my hair isn't as layers as I'd like nor thinned out but it's good enough. I could have went back but it wasn't a bad cut. Most new stylists that I go to is always conservative until I go a second time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1423457 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 06:44:59 +0000 blackbird 1423457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh good! It could be that your hair doesn't want to do what the style should do, too? I have wavy hair so sometimes mine misbehaves. I can't do a straight bob, for example. Glad you like it, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1423449 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 06:27:40 +0000 Ree723 1423449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went back and they fixed it! Well, sort of. It's still not exactly what I wanted but I couldn't be assed to try and explain again what I was looking for; also, with how short the front was initially cut, I don't think they could quite achieve what I wanted. Regardless, it is much closer to what I wanted and a thousand times better than it was! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1423428 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 05:49:55 +0000 StbHisMrs 1423428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes for a dye job gone awry, I'm friends with her so it wasn't too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1423363 Fri, 14 Feb 2014 03:12:54 +0000 Purpledaisy 1423363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a bad haircut once and I went to a different salon to fix it. I hated paying again but I didn't trust the first salon and I didn't want to end up with super short hair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1422281 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 20:21:18 +0000 HLK208 1422281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let the manager know and they usually have another, more experienced stylist fix it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1422268 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 20:19:43 +0000 AmandaB8 1422268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got back and gotten it fixed by another hair stylist. But I totally peeped through the windows to make sure that the one who effed it up wasn't there XD </p> <p>I've now found a stylist I LOVE and I don't go to anyone but her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1422252 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 20:16:41 +0000 JessKas 1422252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went back after a dye job I was unhappy with. They were SUPER nice about it and fixed it no charge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1421840 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 18:49:03 +0000 spaniellove 1421840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never actually done it, but been told by stylists that if I don't like something about my cut I can come back within 10 days to get it fixed and shouldn't suffer until my next cut. </p> <p>About the flipping, was it your usual stylist? I've found that it can be a matter of your stylist knowing your hair texture and the direction your hair grows in, and cutting layers in a way that compensates for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1421819 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 18:37:36 +0000 avivoca 1421819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I learned my lesson last time and now I always ask them to fix it if it looks awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1421806 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 18:32:05 +0000 MapleMoose 1421806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my hair highlighted for my wedding. I went back a few days later to have them put the color closer to my roots. They cut/color my grandmother, aunt, and two cousins hair so they were nice to me. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1421765 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 18:15:12 +0000 sandy 1421765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummm...I freaking cried and they offered to fix it... And while it was better than before I still hated it and never went back </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1421756 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 18:10:29 +0000 snowjewelz 1421756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had haircuts I didn't like but nothing that was so bad. I think you should call the stylist and ask what they think... I'm not sure if yours can be fixed since the cut is already short. Unless you will consider a pixie cut. Maybe they can straighten out the ends for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1421740 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 18:06:52 +0000 sunny 1421740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but the receptionist saw how unhappy I was when I was paying and offered to book me for a fix with another stylist for the next day. I don't think I would have had the guts to ask myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1421730 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 18:03:45 +0000 autumnlove 1421730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and it turned out well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1421722 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 18:02:22 +0000 GrapeCrush 1421722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went and got my hair fixed(bad dye job) at the same place, because I refused to pay again, when it should have been correct the first time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/botched-haircut-do-you-go-back-to-have-it-fixed#post-1421689 Thu, 13 Feb 2014 17:52:09 +0000 Ree723 1421689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got my hair cut on Wednesday (it's Friday here now) and I hate it!! I wanted several inches cut off and for it to be majorly thinned out (it's so thick!) - essentially I wanted a chin length bob with some layers.</p> <p>Well, the front of my hair is cut in a chin length bob and is fine, but the back is below the nape of my neck, just past the tops of my shoulders, and the layers are cut in a way that makes the underneath layers flip up, giving me a super awesome Mrs Brady look. NOT the look I was going for.</p> <p>Now the haircut only cost $28, which is super cheap for here, but I really hate it and want it fixed! DH wants me to go back to the same salon and ask them to fix it, but I'm really nervous I'll insult them and then they'll botch my hair even more! Or I'm worried they'll tell me that I didn't explain my hair cut well enough and they gave me what I asked for, therefore they're under no obligation to fix it etc.</p> <p>What do you do when your hair cut goes awry? How do you diplomatically ask for it to be fixed? Have you ever had a bad experience when you have gone to have it fixed and it ended up worse than before?</p> <p>For reference, I've attached a pic of the Mrs Brady look (a la my hair now) and two pics of what I was going for. Note: I did not bring these pics in with me but will do so if I go to get it fixed today. </p> [attach=1312/14/n0yi6y.303x400.image.jpg] [attach=1312/14/n0yi70.270x365.image.jpg] [attach=1312/14/n0yi71.539x600.image.jpg]
