I have had way too many bad haircuts at the salon. The stylists not only did what they wanted, but took thinning shears to my hair when I specifically told them not to. So I fired the salon, and I take a seat every couple months to have my husband trim my hair for me, never a bad haircut, he does exactly what I ask. I get compliments on my hair, plus my mom and best friend have him cut their hair as they like his work, and had too many bad haircuts at the salon as well.
A hairdresser absolutely destroyed my hair, nothing like the picture, thinned out within an inch of it's life, short in the back tiny thin long pieces in the front, I'm heartbroken, I'd just grown out a pixie and now the back is a pixie again. 💔
@@mcangie1 so much better, i found a hairdresser who specialised in great lengths hair extensions who helped me grow out the mess of layers i was left with and she put extensions in so you couldn't tell on my wedding day at all, it was expensive but so necessary because my confidence was knocked, it took a year to regrow to a mostly one length bob because i was growing out a very short pixie cut all over again, but now i'm on my way to shoulder length, about an inch to go - i never go into a hairdresser's by myself now, my mum goes with me because the trust has been broken, i'm hoping to grow to bra strap length as my final goal. ♡
I’m with you. I’m crushed. I gave her inspiration of blunt cut. But she trimmed the outer side of my hair to make my hair look like a round mushroom which I asked her not to! I wanted a haircut like hers in the video, blunt, but my hair is like a trimmed short bob that’s super super short. I lost all my confidence, and look like a boy
@@Nikkiqiao I'm so sorry you went through that. I remember the time I went to a hair stylist for a bob with bangs. She was recommended by my sister and had cut my hair perfectly twice before. All she was supposed to do is trim the bangs. Instead, she hacked off a big chunk on one side because she said my hair was too heavy. Then she said to had to cut the other side to balance it out. When I went to my sister's afterwards, at first glance she thought I was her paperboy! I hope your hair grows super fast.
Everything you mentioned happened to me. I had thick hair with a more curly/wavy varied texture. Very, very difficult hair to control & style to be perfectly honest. I've had several nightmare haircuts in my life but now happier with my new regrowth of about 5 years. Since my hair loss from chemo/ radiation treatments, my hair grew back with a different texture & less curly & it's long & easier to handle now!!!! 💟💜💟
Great tips as always. I have very naturally curly hair and usually I can easily hide a bad haircut. HOWEVER, I once sat in a salon and the woman gave me a mullet. NO Kidding! I was in a panic state and went to another salon where the woman ended up having to cut all my long hair off to even it out. The upside is that same woman is still cutting my hair today, almost 9 years later. She's terrific!
I relate so much to this! The stylist went pretty far with my “give me some volume” request and gave me those super short layers so I feel like I have a 70’s shag. This from hair that was at my lower back. So frustrating to try and adapt to!
@@YS0093 About 5 months, though there's still a big difference in terms of length of layers. Glad the 90's aesthetic is in right now because butterfly clips became my best friend keeping those side layers back. Good luck with your haircut grow out!!
My Dad was the best hair stylist and I miss him so much. No one could cut my hair like he could.I bring pictures and I'm not asking to look like the woman in the picture just a similar cut and style and they can't do it.
Game up showing pictures of what I want because it always always always always always turns out terrible. I think there's only one haircut they know how to do. Layer down to nothing.
I don't know how exactly i ended with a horrible wolf cut i've been growing my hair for 8 months before having it and i absolutely hate it i actually searched "how to live with an ugly hair" and ur video popped out i still hate my haircut but now at least i have bangs i can live with. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for this! I had to change hair stylists because I moved from Hawaii to DC and this guy DEFINITELY went all Edward Scissor Hands on my lob and gave my ugly layers with whispy long under layers. I looked like Professor Snape. I balled my eyes out... I want my beautiful lob (long bob) back
Loved the music at the beginning of the video! Never had a bad haircut but several bad colour experiences at the salon. Everytime I looked in the mirror felt "sick". Since a young girl always wanted straight hair. I was born with thick curly hair. I've been having organic hair straighteners for the past few years and in my 60's my dream came true. Same length as yours Nikol a shiny silky straight bob and have never looked better. The upkeep costs a mint but my hair is my crowning glory and worth every penny. If u hair looks fabulous everything looks fabulous.
I haven't had the disasters you've had but whenever I have my hair done I do not like the way they style it. Often I go home & shower & then style it the way I want. Normally the cut I like but used to not like how much they took off. Growing out my gray now. My beautician is helping me by doing foil. She's doing an awesome job!!!
Such a sweet video. I was having a meltdown, my hair means so much to me! It got brutally thinned out, but it's still waist long 😬 it's so thin i could do a microbraid. I guess I'll just wait and cut little bit by little bit, until it evens. Sigh.
@@meameam same with me!! I used to have quite thick hair, and a lot of it, but the hairdresser majorly thinned it out and now a ponytail looks ridiculous
OMG. This IS the story of my life ever since I moved to Las Vegas! It seems no hair stylist here knows how to cut hair except in a bob. I dont look good in a bob! And, in the almost thirty years I have been in this town, so many more disasters than good cuts! So thanks for this advice. If anyone in this community can suggest a good hair stylist in LV, please pass it along! Btw, I’m loving your content Nikol! Just found you a few months back and trying to watch as many of your posts as I can! You are inspiring!
Just had this happen, I went in for a simple trim and fresh layers, and she gave me the popular octopus cut with super short layers at the top and a really thin bottom. My hair is too fluffy to have super short layers, but I dont want to go shorter, so there's nothing to do until it grows out and I can start evening it out.
Nikol, I just got my first bad haircut in decades!! Now that I'm totally white, I have to get creative while it grows out. Hot rollers are my savior. Big curls camouflage my layers. This video was very timely.
Omg 😆 this actually just happened to me ! i showed my stylist a picture of what I wanted and it turned out looking like a mushroom.. worked on it myself and asked friends, they assured me it was very cute. So with my hair tools I LOVE IT .. disaster avoidance complete 😂
OMG, back in the 80's I was getting a spiral perm, to have ringlets, I had gone to my regular stylist, but I think she left the solution on too long, because the next day my hair was coming out in "clumps" literally clumps. It was like straw. I went back to her a couple of days later and she acted like she could not see anything wrong. I pulled out a clump of hair. She conditioned it, but that didn't help. I went to another stylist who had to cut alot of my hair to get the dead part off. I was horrified! Since then I have been very careful who I go to.
Back in the '80, my young adolescent brothers wanted the Karate Kid look, so my mom took them to the stylist, who advised a perm to create volume. The boys walked out looking like two poodles!!
Thank you for this..I actually got the exact nightmare cut today that you’re talking about and I had the same angled bob and now I have that horrible short layer in the back and barely any hair on the bottom… I cried all day and can barely even put it up.. Just need to let it grow and eat healthy
At one time I was a hairstylist many years ago..... sooooooooooo I’m never happy when getting a haircut. Fortunately, I’ve always been able to cut my own hair and luckily it’s curly (frizzy in Florida humidity) ! But I can get away with it! Color was something else and fun for me to have it done! This past year has given me the courage to grow out my gray! Not everyone I know is happy with my choice BUT I AM!! So thank you so much for the encouragement and inspiration! Just one more thing ......before this year of the pandemic I thought about letting my gray hair grow out and everyone had an opinion including my colorist! Telling me I’d look ten years older!! But considering I’m 70 that was ,how can I say this, rude? Actually, I think my natural hair color softens my features and just looks healthier! So again, thank you and please excuse the rambling!!😜😜
I hate going to the salon. Every trip is a guaranteed bad haircut. They never "get" my hair, nor my style. I'm not into trends. I wish I could cut it on my own, but I like a layered lob with bangs (not the Rachel, though!), and I can't do that alone. But, at this point, after about 37 years of frustration, I might really try to learn. I used to have thick hair, and it's now sadly thinning. Thinking of chopping it all of, but how would I maintain very short hair?😔 Maria
There are so many terrible experiences with bad cuts and color. I am still growing out my last disaster. It doesn't matter how much you spend . Been cutting my own for the last year due to COVID and it really looks great. Go figure.
I was laughing when you were talking about the Rachel haircut!! I’m 56 now and have hair like yours. I had a hairdresser cut layers in my hair and I looked like the mom from the Brady Bunch!! I cried a lot.
Oh my god I just googled it and that is *exactly* how i feel! I just wanted a not blunt cut so i asked for layers and they gave me such a Rachel haircut. I don't know what to do, i hate how much of my hair the Hairdresser cut to chin length. Urgh. At least this comment gave me a good chuckle.
When I was in my 20’s, the stylist cut my hair so short, I couldn’t even get it to stay in my curling iron! I was devastated! She never cut my hair again!!!!
Same. My hair is so short, I can’t get my hair around my curling iron. All I can do is comb it with the curling iron. It wouldn’t matter as much if I didn’t have to go to church looking like this!!!
I love the way my friend's hair is cut. I went to her stylist and told the stylist that because I too have straight hair I wanted a cut similar to my friend's cut. Hahaha, no way did I get anything I envisioned. Luckily it was summer and I was going on vacation so no one I knew saw me til it had grown out for 3 weeks. Never again.
Mine was hoping to get a long bob but it landed up a short bob. I had waist length hair and was looking for something different. But I still wanted to be able to put it up. I'm never having a hairdresser cut it again. I'll do it myself in future.
A good stylist will be honest. When you want a stylish bob but have coarse, curly hair and don't want to spend time on your hair, he or she should suggest a cut that is low maintenance. If you have dark brown hair, they should dissuade you from platinum blonde. They're beauticians not magicians!
The haircut you described you got is exactly what happened to me a month ago. I had collarbone length hair that was mostly one length. I asked for some long light layers to just clean up the shape and the stylist cut very short (above the ears) heavy awful layers that left my ends looking so thin and the whole crown poofs up weirdly. It's literally the type of cut I always try to avoid. It's just so unflattering, frumpy, and dated. I cut about 2 inches off the ends myself and will just keep doing that periodically until these short layers grow. For now I'm just trying to camouflage it as best as I can!
I had a very short bob a few years ago because I was growing out my gray. I wasn't crazy about the clippers that were used...the haircut was beautiful, but I am happier with longer hair now.
You're rocking that look, Nikol!! Love the silver blazer, combined with those glasses and that lipstick. :)

I went to get my haircut a month ago from a hairdresser. He does copy the same thing if you show him what you want. I finally adapt but my hair loves acting wild. The haircut had to help me because thicker hair takes overnight to dry. Note: I avoid as much heat as possible and like taking care of health.
I forgot how long you had said it took to go gray. I started at the beginning of the pandemic- when I found you and you were such an inspiration. I love all your ideas - and I like changing things up -with a clip in fix. Thank you Nikol.
I'm 15 months in..when lockdown lifts and I get my bob cut to same length as nichole ..I'll be 95 per cent there. It's right at the ends of side part dye on ends. 🙄
It took me about twelve months. My hair is shoulder length. My hairdresser would help me by cutting off the ends regularly. I did get highlights to help with blending. Good luck to you! I hope you'll love your gray as much as I love mine!
My word of the day is mullet 😢 Waited 6 months to afford a salon appointment now I have a mullet rather than long layers and orange streaks instead of highlights
Nikol you are so hilarious! The short layer piece story was so funny to me. You hit all the keys points in hair cutting and you have such a positive outlook and it's great.
So I decided to go grey & try & cut a lot of hair off to get rid of some of the black. Didn’t get a fringe exactly maybe curtain bangs with a bob. I live in a really humid part of Australia. My hair has been constantly frizzy with these curly sticky out side bangs that won’t go in a ponytail & it’s constantly driving me nuts so I’m very impatiently waiting for it to grow but it’s taking forever 😣 🌸
I’ve been growing out a “fix-frustration” from a hairdresser I was going to. My next cut should correct that cut. Staying in a bob for a while. I really enjoy your videos.
Honestly once I accepted the fact that I have thin, fine hair and have very few choices I know what’s best for me. Basic Bob w/bangs now again. Even my best hairdresser (family member) who cuts it but can jack up the styling now and again. My sons wedding I had her cut & blow out the morning of his big day. I went right home, got it wet then blew it out myself!
I got a really bad Rod Stewart-like haircut in the 80s, unbeknownst to me, just before my graduation pictures were to be submitted. So there I am in the yearbook with my most hideous haircut for all to see and to remember throughout the ages. I was devastated!
This has happened to me. Omg I asked for something and she buzzcut it all. Which was not what I asked for. Nevertheless it worked out Bc i was growing out my grey. So truly nothing I could do but wait. Now it’s growing it’s all lengths but I am letting it keep growing before I get another cut.
Thank you so much for your uplifting words. I've been trying to get a nice long bob since three years. Blunt cut, no layers, longer front, shorter back. But... No matter which salon or stylist, they ruin it by cutting a stereotype chin-lenght standart bob, on top with shorter front and longer back. Adding 10+ years to my face. I show pictures and always explain the exact lenght that I want. I don't get why it doesn't work. Probably I'm wrong and this is a difficult cut? 🤔
I can't get them to leave enough hair left to ask for it to be fixed. I asked for them to take an inch off and then they leave only an inch to my scalp. Every time I grow it out enough to have something to work with they do this over again. And it doesn't matter who I go to they all do the same thing.
Don't judge but I was desperate enough to talk my husband into coloring and cutting my hair. The bleaching went very well except for the one giant spot of Bozo orange. And the cut? I swear he's a very intelligent man but I have no idea what he was thinking. It's kind of a reverse bob with occasional long chunks. Even if there had been no Covid, I would have stayed at home. With the shades drawn, of course.
I had hair that was below my boobs, beautiful Auburn curls like Merida from Brave. I asked my sister to trim it, we were taking and I asked if she wanted a guide and she said she had already cut it. I turned around and there is about 6 inches of my hair on the floor. I cried for 2 weeks straight. Because of the bounce in the curl I have a bob now. Although other people say it's look nice, I hate it, I dont feel like myself at all. That was 5 months ago. You are very much not alone. Hopefully you feel better about yours now.
Yes! I had my hair textrized a month ago and what did he do? Big hunks of hair falling on the floor!. It is growing but now I will have to cut length to get it thicker. 🤔 I bought clip in hair pieces. It helps.
My hairstyles cut my hair way to short plus ugly I started crying and every time I look at myself now I just burst out crying because it's so bad. Plus school starts in a week
Ive had so many bad haircuts at a salon that i started cutting my own hair 9/10 i get it exactly how i want and the one time i make a mistake well at least im getting a bad haircut for free.
I’ve practically never in my looong life had a good haircut, including yesterday!!😭 Over layered even though I thought she understood. All I do is hack on it myself and wait for it to grow out. Looking for advice for thin, fine, (old) hair..products!!!treatments(PRP therapy?) Have a laser hat; thought it was working but suddenly tons of hair loss. HELP.
I asked my hairdresser for a butterfly cut. I had 10 pictures that were all the same just different styling so you can see the layers. My hair was to my waist and i didn’t want any length off. She turns be aways from the mirror and when i was turned back i had layers that were 1/2 inch from my head heavy chopping bangs. Hair to my shoulders and you can see through it because she thinned it when the haircut is nothing like it. And she only cut heavy bangs on one side of my hair and bottom is uneven. My mother says it looks like a bunch of goats chewed my hair up its so bad. So i am really trying to not worry. I have naturally thick hair and this is ridiculously thin. I am just going to play around with it and have fun because my hair grows fast but i am still upset
it's been my experience that male stylists listen more than female. I don't know why but sometimes I think women get jealous, are on their periods, or some weird thing but men cut way better.
@@rebeccawebb2298 😆 I just changed my upcoming haircut appointment based on this comment thread from a female to male stylist - so hoping he won't be PMSing the day I see him! 😅
I shaved my head bald from elbow length long at start of covid, hoping it would grow back stronger/healthier after years of damaging it. Even with almost 2 years of no heat/styling products it looks like a super short Rachel haircut when I want a one-length blunt bob. Its soooo slow to grow. I just want my long thick hair back. I am so depressed. I am embarrassed to meet new people with my ugly hair.
The exact word to describe layers for people with hair like mine (which is much like yours) is the one you use: SAD. I did it too back then and is was so ugly! I wear it on an updo with bobby pins until it grew back.
I had my bangs cut yesterday and they are way too short to do the styles I like. Worse is I'll be going to a new school after a month and my bangs will definitely not be grown out enough. It'll probably take a few months to get them to an acceptable length and acceptable is still not what I really want. I already feel so ugly now this makes me feel even worse. I don't know what to do I've been avoiding people all day today while searching through TH-cam for advice and such
This happened to me two days ago 😩 I asked for some light layers on my shoulder Length and he just gave me a straight up wolf cut , yes almost like the Rachel haircut , it’s not my style , now the bottom is so thin and see through 😩 idk what to do
I had a really bad hair cut sent in for a bob cut she cut my bangs so short the hair was cut just below the ear I looked like the dutch boy on the paint can it was new years Eve was going out I was in tears
I’m very disappointed now… I wanted a bob just like hers, but I ended up like Dora the adventurer… plus the back is longer the front, just a disaster. I don’t know what to do😢
Once wore a bandana for 6 months after a 'bad' haircut. It was way too short for me at the time and I didn't recognize myself. Also, in HS, didn't realize Henna came in colors - my was Lucille Ball red! Oops. Now it's all funny...but then, it was like life/death.
No offense, but telling someone they remind you of their grandmother can be quite insulting. Perhaps you can expand as to WHY she reminds you of her grandmother to make it sound a little less demeaning.

Lol Mom from Brady bunch it’s not funny when it’s happening but at least we can have a little humor now that it’s over.
Mine is shorter than the Mom from Brady Bunch. 😭
Oh my god I just googled it and that is *exactly* how i feel! I just wanted a not blunt cut so i asked for layers and they gave me such a Rachel haircut. I don't know what to do, i hate how much of my hair the Hairdresser cut to chin length. Urgh. At least this comment gave me a good chuckle.
My husband cuts my hair although he is not a hairdresser !!!!! But it always turns out great after me directing him 😂😂
I LOVE your hair style!
Good video, great suggestions. Where there's more options, the anxieties and anger is greatly reduced, no matter how "bad" a salon trip became.
I absolutely love this video. Very wise advise!!. Thank you Nicole. I wish I had seen it before, but never late🌼😀
When I was in my 20’s, the stylist cut my hair so short, I couldn’t even get it to stay in my curling iron! I was devastated! She never cut my hair again!!!!
Same. My hair is so short, I can’t get my hair around my curling iron. All I can do is comb it with the curling iron. It wouldn’t matter as much if I didn’t have to go to church looking like this!!!
@@roseanneking8984 I definitely sympathize! Hopefully your hair grows fast! Thankfully mine did!
Loved your intro! Put a smile on my face 😊 Would love to see you put in your bangs!
Yes the same with me I always ask for a blunt cut and they always give me stacked angled bob 😢
Love watching your videos 💗
Truly a ray of sunshine here and make the day soo happy 😁
Have a beautiful day ☀️🌟
I love the way my friend's hair is cut. I went to her stylist and told the stylist that because I too have straight hair I wanted a cut similar to my friend's cut. Hahaha, no way did I get anything I envisioned. Luckily it was summer and I was going on vacation so no one I knew saw me til it had grown out for 3 weeks. Never again.
Mine was hoping to get a long bob but it landed up a short bob. I had waist length hair and was looking for something different. But I still wanted to be able to put it up. I'm never having a hairdresser cut it again. I'll do it myself in future.
Absolutely love the glittery jacket. Automatically inspired to find.
I’ve had so many bad haircuts 😓
A good stylist will be honest. When you want a stylish bob but have coarse, curly hair and don't want to spend time on your hair, he or she should suggest a cut that is low maintenance. If you have dark brown hair, they should dissuade you from platinum blonde. They're beauticians not magicians!
The haircut you described you got is exactly what happened to me a month ago. I had collarbone length hair that was mostly one length. I asked for some long light layers to just clean up the shape and the stylist cut very short (above the ears) heavy awful layers that left my ends looking so thin and the whole crown poofs up weirdly. It's literally the type of cut I always try to avoid. It's just so unflattering, frumpy, and dated. I cut about 2 inches off the ends myself and will just keep doing that periodically until these short layers grow. For now I'm just trying to camouflage it as best as I can!
I had a very short bob a few years ago because I was growing out my gray. I wasn't crazy about the clippers that were used...the haircut was beautiful, but I am happier with longer hair now.
You're rocking that look, Nikol!! Love the silver blazer, combined with those glasses and that lipstick. :)
I went to get my haircut a month ago from a hairdresser. He does copy the same thing if you show him what you want. I finally adapt but my hair loves acting wild. The haircut had to help me because thicker hair takes overnight to dry. Note: I avoid as much heat as possible and like taking care of health.
I forgot how long you had said it took to go gray. I started at the beginning of the pandemic- when I found you and you were such an inspiration.
I love all your ideas - and I like changing things up -with a clip in fix.
Thank you Nikol.
I'm 15 months in..when lockdown lifts and I get my bob cut to same length as nichole ..I'll be 95 per cent there. It's right at the ends of side part dye on ends. 🙄
It took me about twelve months. My hair is shoulder length. My hairdresser would help me by cutting off the ends regularly. I did get highlights to help with blending. Good luck to you! I hope you'll love your gray as much as I love mine!
My word of the day is mullet 😢
Waited 6 months to afford a salon appointment now I have a mullet rather than long layers and orange streaks instead of highlights
Nikol you are so hilarious! The short layer piece story was so funny to me. You hit all the keys points in hair cutting and you have such a positive outlook and it's great.
so glad I found your channel!!! I'm 57 and you make me feel young!
Ahhhh that’s so sweet thank you 😘😘
Great suggestions, Nikol! Thank you for all these fun ideas.
So I decided to go grey & try & cut a lot of hair off to get rid of some of the black. Didn’t get a fringe exactly maybe curtain bangs with a bob. I live in a really humid part of Australia. My hair has been constantly frizzy with these curly sticky out side bangs that won’t go in a ponytail & it’s constantly driving me nuts so I’m very impatiently waiting for it to grow but it’s taking forever 😣 🌸
I’ve been growing out a “fix-frustration” from a hairdresser I was going to. My next cut should correct that cut. Staying in a bob for a while. I really enjoy your videos.
Honestly once I accepted the fact that I have thin, fine hair and have very few choices I know what’s best for me. Basic Bob w/bangs now again. Even my best hairdresser (family member) who cuts it but can jack up the styling now and again. My sons wedding I had her cut & blow out the morning of his big day. I went right home, got it wet then blew it out myself!
Really helpful suggestions!
Very positively presented! Thankyou.
I got a really bad Rod Stewart-like haircut in the 80s, unbeknownst to me, just before my graduation pictures were to be submitted. So there I am in the yearbook with my most hideous haircut for all to see and to remember throughout the ages. I was devastated!
Thank God I can cut my own..my goal this year is to find a stylist I can trust.
This has happened to me. Omg I asked for something and she buzzcut it all. Which was not what I asked for. Nevertheless it worked out Bc i was growing out my grey. So truly nothing I could do but wait. Now it’s growing it’s all lengths but I am letting it keep growing before I get another cut.
Thank you so much for your uplifting words. I've been trying to get a nice long bob since three years. Blunt cut, no layers, longer front, shorter back. But... No matter which salon or stylist, they ruin it by cutting a stereotype chin-lenght standart bob, on top with shorter front and longer back. Adding 10+ years to my face. I show pictures and always explain the exact lenght that I want. I don't get why it doesn't work. Probably I'm wrong and this is a difficult cut? 🤔
I can't get them to leave enough hair left to ask for it to be fixed. I asked for them to take an inch off and then they leave only an inch to my scalp. Every time I grow it out enough to have something to work with they do this over again. And it doesn't matter who I go to they all do the same thing.
Thank you SO much, Nikol!... this was such an informative, helpful video!... we are blessed to have you!!!!💜💜💜💜
Don't judge but I was desperate enough to talk my husband into coloring and cutting my hair. The bleaching went very well except for the one giant spot of Bozo orange. And the cut? I swear he's a very intelligent man but I have no idea what he was thinking. It's kind of a reverse bob with occasional long chunks. Even if there had been no Covid, I would have stayed at home. With the shades drawn, of course.
I had hair that was below my boobs, beautiful Auburn curls like Merida from Brave. I asked my sister to trim it, we were taking and I asked if she wanted a guide and she said she had already cut it. I turned around and there is about 6 inches of my hair on the floor. I cried for 2 weeks straight. Because of the bounce in the curl I have a bob now. Although other people say it's look nice, I hate it, I dont feel like myself at all. That was 5 months ago. You are very much not alone. Hopefully you feel better about yours now.
Great advice. U look fabulous! I love the sparkly blazer and the dark glasses! 🤓
Yes! I had my hair textrized a month ago and what did he do? Big hunks of hair falling on the floor!. It is growing but now I will have to cut length to get it thicker. 🤔 I bought clip in hair pieces. It helps.
I truly enjoy your channel always so uplifting. Can you share info on who you use as your hair dresser.
Asked for some more layers to my wolf cut, and to trim my fringe but I ended up with a mullet and micro bangs and it got super thinned too
Love your hair! I’m on my way to growing out my natural color. 😊
Here is my little movie star!!!... looking stunning!!!🎬🎬🎬🎬💄💄💄💄🕶🕶🕶🕶🕶🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
My hairstyles cut my hair way to short plus ugly I started crying and every time I look at myself now I just burst out crying because it's so bad. Plus school starts in a week
I have to live like this for 10 months to a year now yayyy
Ive had so many bad haircuts at a salon that i started cutting my own hair 9/10 i get it exactly how i want and the one time i make a mistake well at least im getting a bad haircut for free.
I’ve practically never in my looong life had a good haircut, including yesterday!!😭
Over layered even though I thought she understood.
All I do is hack on it myself and wait for it to grow out.
Looking for advice for thin, fine, (old) hair..products!!!treatments(PRP therapy?)
Have a laser hat; thought it was working but suddenly tons of hair loss. HELP.
Been growing out a BUZZ CUT for 9 months and my hair is super messed up. Just called my mom crying again to ask if I should buzz it again
Hi Nikol, what do you recommend for loss of hair or stop the shedding of hair?
I asked my hairdresser for a butterfly cut. I had 10 pictures that were all the same just different styling so you can see the layers. My hair was to my waist and i didn’t want any length off. She turns be aways from the mirror and when i was turned back i had layers that were 1/2 inch from my head heavy chopping bangs. Hair to my shoulders and you can see through it because she thinned it when the haircut is nothing like it. And she only cut heavy bangs on one side of my hair and bottom is uneven. My mother says it looks like a bunch of goats chewed my hair up its so bad. So i am really trying to not worry. I have naturally thick hair and this is ridiculously thin. I am just going to play around with it and have fun because my hair grows fast but i am still upset
How’s your hair growing… I had the same thing happen Saturday and am beyond upset
it's been my experience that male stylists listen more than female. I don't know why but sometimes I think women get jealous, are on their periods, or some weird thing but men cut way better.
Yes!!!
@@Woman_in_the_Wilderness Its actually a true story!! All that power in their hands during a bitchy mood. It happens.
My sister quit her male stylist because she said he always acted like he had PMS! 🤣 Never listened to her on the color she wanted, either.
@@rebeccawebb2298 😆 I just changed my upcoming haircut appointment based on this comment thread from a female to male stylist - so hoping he won't be PMSing the day I see him! 😅
@@Woman_in_the_Wilderness Too funny ,i cant even...😀 but stick with a male stylist and yrll never look back. .!!
I shaved my head bald from elbow length long at start of covid, hoping it would grow back stronger/healthier after years of damaging it. Even with almost 2 years of no heat/styling products it looks like a super short Rachel haircut when I want a one-length blunt bob. Its soooo slow to grow. I just want my long thick hair back. I am so depressed. I am embarrassed to meet new people with my ugly hair.
The exact word to describe layers for people with hair like mine (which is much like yours) is the one you use: SAD. I did it too back then and is was so ugly! I wear it on an updo with bobby pins until it grew back.
I had my bangs cut yesterday and they are way too short to do the styles I like. Worse is I'll be going to a new school after a month and my bangs will definitely not be grown out enough. It'll probably take a few months to get them to an acceptable length and acceptable is still not what I really want. I already feel so ugly now this makes me feel even worse. I don't know what to do I've been avoiding people all day today while searching through TH-cam for advice and such
Any suggestions on the best place to purchase hair pieces as you are going gray? Thanks Nikol!
Those bangs looked good on you.
It can be devastating when you get a bad cut 😭....great information!! Also, can you please tell me which pink gloss that is? I LOVE it!
Thank you yes it’s called Upgrade here is the link www.freshbeautystudio.com/product/upgrade-lip-gloss/
Wonderful! Ty😁
You are an awesome beauty queen ! Love your Chanel 😊
My hairdresser cuts my hair too short. This time it was at my chin I love having my hair shoulder Length.
Haha I had that same high layer one time I called it my Carol Brady cut one layer up near me crown and then a flip in the back
Lol what is with the crown layer? Lol so awful
You just brightened my whole month! Your personality is amazing and it cheered me up so much
This happened to me two days ago 😩 I asked for some light layers on my shoulder Length and he just gave me a straight up wolf cut , yes almost like the Rachel haircut , it’s not my style , now the bottom is so thin and see through 😩 idk what to do
I had a really bad hair cut sent in for a bob cut she cut my bangs so short the hair was cut just below the ear I looked like the dutch boy on the paint can it was new years Eve was going out I was in tears
I’m very disappointed now… I wanted a bob just like hers, but I ended up like Dora the adventurer… plus the back is longer the front, just a disaster. I don’t know what to do😢
Once wore a bandana for 6 months after a 'bad' haircut. It was way too short for me at the time and I didn't recognize myself.
Also, in HS, didn't realize Henna came in colors - my was Lucille Ball red! Oops.
Now it's all funny...but then, it was like life/death.
We’ve not had hairdressers opened in UK for months. We all look awful 😁
I got the same haircut as before that I used to love but now i hate it, I don’t look the same aaaa
They chopped my crown so bad I have long thin layers sitting on top of buzzed areas. Can you say flat head?! Ugh
But that was the Rachel cut ! Thank goodness hair grows. Some people need layers. What is good about curly hair is that you don’t see the mistakes.
I’ve had horrible color jobs, the worst was eggplant color 😢
You remind me so much of my grandmother!! ❤️
No offense, but telling someone they remind you of their grandmother can be quite insulting. Perhaps you can expand as to WHY she reminds you of her grandmother to make it sound a little less demeaning.
@@Woman_in_the_Wilderness ...it was definitely a compliment!!
@@carolynmareck5112 ❤
I was so depressed over my boy haircut, and I read some of these comments and I’m laughing so hard my stomach hurts!!😂😂😂😂🤣
You look amazing!
Thank you Nikol💕💕💕
Thinning shears disaster! Took forever to get my thick hair back!
Where did you get your glasses??
