SO I have done this. I had photos of the front, back, sides, pulled back to show the different layers and angles etc like 15 photos. Printed them out (before ipads and the like were a viable option) handed them over and said "make me now, look like me then" and they messed it up so bad, that I told her to just pixie cut it and I'll start all over.
I'm sure there are stylists who would have done a great job, but the salon I went to...terrible I never went back there .

This happened to me once. All I asked for was a trim.

I asked for a two inch trim once and got 8 inches cut off. I have never cried about anything relating to my physical appearance until that moment. I genuinely felt like I’d been assaulted.

Yeah, I kind of felt like the girl who cut it must have had something against me.

As who does hair, I would have been overjoyed for someone to bring me all those photos. I’ll ask people if they have inspiration photos and they look at me like I’ve grown a third head.

I've started bringing an iPad with a Pinterest board. but ultimately since i just get a short/pixie/faux hawk type short style and main point being donating my hair, i dont fully care what happens anymore
Even started doing it for my tattoo artist shes been telling her clients to do the same.
