If I would have been you, then I would never go there again. After all it relates to ones personality.

I have had my fair share of horrible haircuts. Sometimes I go back, sometimes I do not. The only reason I sometimes choose not to return is if I feel like the mistake is so bad that the stylist is not qualified to fix it. Otherwise, definitely go back. My stylist gives me 2 weeks and during that time if I decide it is not right, I am not charged anything to fix it or my money is refunded if it is cut too short.

If I have to fixed my haircut I prefer to cut all of my hair as short as it could. I prefer to get started from the beginning and blame no one.

I will enjoy it rather than change the style.

I’d say you should have a regular hair dresser. That way they know your hair better and they know what to do and what not to do next time you come in. Also, if you know them on a personal level, they would probably be more reasonable with giving you touch ups if they knew they made a mistake.

My sister got her hair cut recently and after about a week she realized her bangs were a little long. So she went back intending to pay for a trim ((as she hadn’t realized her bangs were annoying that long and told the hairdresser to make them that way)) and the nice woman did it for free. It was just bangs, but it was nice of her.

It’s a terrible idea to tip someone to fix something they screwed up. It’s like rewarding someone for a crappy job. It’s extra revenue. I wish you could go back to the barber after a couple of days of wearing a cut and ask them to fix it, but the fact of the matter is they won’t appreciate it and will probably make it known. That’s why I am striving hard to find a barber that doesn’t mess up. That takes their job seriously.

My story:
I finally got tired of my barber giving me good haircuts one week and terrible haircuts the next. Well last week for the first time I worked the courage to ask them to fix the crappy haircut they were sending me out into the world with, mainly because I had an important date and I couldn’t show up like that, and as expected they looked at me with a frustrated, annoyed look. Safe to say they didn’t do a good job fixing it.

Two days later I went to a different barber and asked them to fix the haircut. They did, now I have a new barber. I tip every time I get a haircut. I hope that buisness realizes that people are paying them to make them look good, not to buzz off a few pieces of hair and slap on a half-@ssed fade.

Well, what if they cut it too short. I had a barbor (same person, same mistake twice) cut my hair which was at my shirt collar all around to honestly a bowl cut. I don’t know how she could make such a huge mistake. I wouldn’t ask her to fix it because she might make it worse. It took me 6 months to get it back the way it was before. I would want my money back and never go back there again. As far as just not being cut right, I’d say if they mess it up they fix it, within 1 or 2 weeks. You might have gotten it cut then gone on a trip or something so it shouldn’t be such strict circumstances.

well if you’re gonna give this generous tip, you might as well pay for another hair cut.
