I've been growing my hair for the last 7 months so I thought a salon was a better route than a barber shop. I went in and asked her to just "take off the ends but keep most of the length." I ended up getting about 2/3rds of my hair taken off. To make it worse all of my hair is one length, big poofy sides don't look great on men. Had high hopes but will likely just go back to a barber shop again.
