Great vibes and I actually switched to them because of such a poor experience with my prior place…read more I'll go ahead and say it, Pro Cuts closes early, even when you have a nice reserved appointment, and it tells you to come in at a certain time, which you do! I definitely don't wanna make it all about Pro Cuts (it's actually more aptly named Amateur Cuts.
OK I'll take a deep breath and get on track/target!
I came in with a challenge because I waited almost 3 times longer than I normally wait to get a haircut, which means that my hair was doing whatever it wanted, and it does not resemble anything near the results of the haircut I would be going for. But you know what, the stylus didn't think anything of it and just took charge like the pro she is!
Gosh, I can't even remember my stylist, but I will say that everyone in there was really great as it was. My stylist, and you can look me up and see, and I think management should , because she deserves some real kudos, as she gave me such a solid haircut. And I went ahead and chose a shorter guard along with the whole cut being shorter.
Now for the hard part... My hair grows forward, but when I get my haircut, I want the whole thing aiming towards the right and towards the back. Pretty much the opposite of what it wants to do, except for the middle and right side are less stubborn.
*** since I'm terrible at explaining, I've learned to just keep a picture of when my haircut has been very recent and I have it style so they can see what I'm going for, otherwise they would never guess... That's my opinion, because it's pretty different than if I left it alone***
* blending a 1.5 guard is not that easy of a task because it's extremely short, which I want to say just over 1/8 of an inch, and on the top I usually go just over an inch, but I decided that I would do basically exactly at inch.
- That blend was flawless, had no lines in it, and was
perfectly gradual!
- in addition, it didn't turn out as a high and tight (sort of
military like where it stays short pretty high up on your
head)... I like mine to blend to full length just about
halfway.
* NAILED IT!
The way I decide if it's right for me, is by more or less looking at the shadow or the outline, and seeing the shape. If it goes straight up and at the top starts inward, then I've just been given a high & tight
HOWEVER, if it starts short at the lowest point, and has a very slight outward angle because of that medium height fade/blend, and the top has a nice shape, then I know I'm going to be very happy! I was happy!!!
As you can tell, I know what I like and I'm also very specific in particular... But I am also very understanding that it's not always easy, so I will never get angry if it doesn't come out with the exact characteristics, i mentioned.
Details - CHALLENGES!!
* Mostly my hair Wants to grow forward and I have a ton of it but it's very fine...soooo
* because it's fine, not to be confused with thinning, it really wants to lay flat. But that's not my game plan and I figured out how to get it to do what I want. It took me a lot of tries & years!!
I WANT IT TO aim towards the right, with a bias towards the back. (so the front is actually towards the side and back a bit.)
1.) challenge 1 that could be disastrous if it was brought up really high, since it needs to be a little short, but they are perennial experts, and make it work, achieving results that I love
2.) CHALLENGE 2 (I think this is an art to achieve)
My left side actually wants to go down and forward. Well, that's exactly the opposite of what I want it to do. So the solution is that they cut that side, just a little shorter, and then, when I use gel or whatever, I have it short enough, so it doesn't stick out, but it does follow along with that right word aim, then the further over, I get, the more to the back it goes. (it's done so well, that certainly does not resemble a high and tight which... Well, if I were to do it, it certainly was... That's not if it just looks flat out like a bald patch )
So, the summary:
My hair likes to lay flat and more or less forward.
Oh, I like it to lay towards the right, with a bias towards the back, especially when you get to the right side. On the left side, where he wants to do the exact opposite, the solution is to go a little shorter, and I get to just let the side look good with a fade is and I am the longer portion (which is a little shorter than the other side on purpose), and Ament, with volume towards the right, keeping a uniform I am looking to have!
Thanks everyone!
I guess here's a picture of my haircut for context. .
