At least it will cut down on the long haired hippie comments.

A buzz cut's not all that bad. Something similar happened to me too, albeit not involving army personnel.

How does this even happen.

The stylist should have confirmed what you wanted.

Couldn't stop the hairdresser as soon as they started? Have fun with short hair, hope this and your next haircut are free.

Are you the golden retriever in the previous post?

Hey, OP here. I'm new to this site, guess I should've made an account before posting? Sorry about that. Anyway, everyone had a pretty good laugh about it after the initial shock wore off! The place had these staggered walls in between the chairs and the other guy was blocked from view. Since it was a busy day, I guess the first stylist had said something along the lines of "the guy on the end just needs a buzz cut". When the second woman had come out she just launched right into it, and I did not say anything about the electric razor because I figured she was just going to clean up the back. But nope. Like a few of you had said, once it was started there was no going back because she went straight down the middle from my forehead to my crown! She was super apologetic about the whole thing, and sent me off with a full giftcard for the future. My hair was sort of on the longer side before, maybe just up to my ears but now it's only 1/8 inch all around. It was a big change but I guess I'll keep it for now since it's comfortable and looks alright. Thanks for all your comments, didn't think anyone would even read this!

This was definetly a mix of miscommunication and unprofessionalism. As a cosmetologist and a cosmetology teacher the number on rule is your consultation. No matter what the other stylist told her, she should have confirmed what you wanted. At least they handled it the right way after the damage was done!

You should've said something. But not until after she went down the middle. Inverted Mohawks ftw!
