99% of hairstylists donโt give a fuck what you want, theyโll just do what they think looks good or will โbenefitโ your hair. itโs why people always complain about being cut shorter than they wanted. the hairstylist thinks you want the damaged ends removed even if you donโt, so they wonโt ask and theyโll just go for it. they also donโt tend to cater your cut to the styling routine you have so that youโll buy more products from them. donโt gotta have that issue if you DIY
Slightly related but hear me out, investing some money in some affordable hair cutting and thinning shears is so much better. Especially for alt looks, thinning shears are a game changer. I have a set of each that cost maybe $15-$20 dollars and Iโve been using them for the past 3 years
