| - Short version:
This is the worst haircut I've ever had as an adult (I once chopped off my own bangs as a child haha)
It was over a year ago and I am still struggling to grow my hair after this fiasco. At the end I ended up with an emo mullet on one side of my head where it was all short in front and then got super long in back and then the other side of my head was left at chin length. It was like two hair cuts on one head - and only half was even close to what I wanted!And it was too short to wear up (so I invested in many creative headbansd and scarfs for a long time).
Kat at Glam was my stylist.
Bottom line: If you don't care what kind of crazy trendster hair you end up with, this is the place for you. (I even like edgy hair, but I want what I want - not what some stylist feels like doing).
Long version:
A friend recommended Glam Studio to me. She had a great cut, so I assumed I could get one to. I went to Kat. She was really nice and fun, and not actually bad at cutting hair, she just didn't give me what I wanted at all.
When I went in my hair at the time was probably an inch or two longer than chin length. I was so happy it was growing out and I made it very clear to Kat that I had just moved to Toronto and I hear the summers are really humid so I wanted to be able to pull my hair up. It wasn't quite long enough to do it yet, but it was getting there...
Anywho my hair going in was assymetrical - the back a little shorter, but also one front side was a bit longer than the other - I like my hair to have some personality. I essentially asked for a trim just to clean it up a bit, but I really wanted to keep the length cuz I was finally ready to grow it all out. She asked if I still wanted to keep one side a bit shorter in front and I said that I liked the assymetrical so to keep it that way but without losing length.
She then proceeded to chop the left side of my hair shorter than I'd ever had it since I was a baby - it was well above my ear - only an inch in some spots. She had hacked off a whole chunk of my hair before a word could even get out of my shocked mouth! I re-emphasized that I really wanted to keep what little length I had and she was like oh yeah no prob - no prob?!?! half my hair was gone.
I didn't know what to do I was so shocked so she kept going and luckily didn't cut off too much more but at the end I ended up with an emo mullet on one side of my head where it was all short in front - all cut above my ear and then got super long in back and then the other side of my head was left at chin length - it was like two hair cuts on one head - and only half was even close to what I wanted! She had the gall to say 'look you can totally still pull it up in a ponytail - aka just the mullet part in the back with the short bits sticking out in front on only half my head - WTF?!
I was too afraid to ask her to try and fix it and I was ready to bawl (for me, having half my hair hacked off when I didn't expect it was traumatizing). For some reason I paid (I think I was still in shock) and then promptly ran out of the salon.
It wasn't a horrible cut, it was decently executed, but it wasn't anything that I wanted. To say you're growing your hair out and then to have half of it gone is ridiculous!
I left it for a few days in case I was just over-reacting. My friends kept making comments on how they thought I wanted to grow my hair and why was it so short on the one side? Not by choice, I said heh.
I then went to Stacy Stray at Grateful Head (a week or two later), who fixed the disaster as best he could. Obviously he couldn't magically make it grow and my hair was way too short for extensions so he just ended up having to cut more off and give me a sort of pixie cut to tone down the mullet. I still wasn't totally happy cuz my hair was short, but he did a great job and I've gone to him since and luckily am finally growing back my hair. It's finally at chin length on the side that was super short - whoo!
I have photos on my other computer and will post to show what I mean.
