I took a seat in the cramped waiting area and grabbed a couple of magazines. Initially, I was looking for a more stylish bob than the shoulder-length one I had on, but I also found a cute shorter cut I liked.
When Santos sat me down for the pre-cut consultation, I showed him the bobs first and the shorter cut--maybe for down the road. He showed me another cut that was between the bob and the shorter cut. He was all excited about this chin length cut--I have the face shape for it, it would look great, etc. So I agreed to go for the shorter cut thinking it was more medium than short.
Well, guess what? On my first go with a new stylist, I should have gone with my original intentions to just update the bob.
This is what it looked like when I left the salon yesterday:
And this is what it looked like today, sans product and me NOT blow drying it for an HOUR.
It's low maintenance, but it's almost as bad as the stupid Chachi haircut I got in 1999 when I couldn't get in to see David the Hair God.
Which begs the question: Will I have to go back to Cali EVERY TIME I want a decent haircut?

Maybe I'm missing something, but it doesn't look that bad to me. You could definitely do worse.
That is definitely not a 'happy camper' face. I'm with JaneAnne, though. I don't think it's bad. Having said that, I totally understand what it means to know the difference between a good stylist/style and a bad one. To this day, I wish my hair goddess was closer and more accessible. (Granted she's just north of Philadelphia, which is about three hours from here, but still.... I can't be doing that every six weeks.)
Have you asked around at work?
It IS worse than what I walked into the salon with.
Most people think it's cute, but I'm NOT HAPPY with it. I've had totally cute short haircuts and this ain't one of them. This is a cross between Carol Brady and the sensible haircut you get before moving into the rest home. Dammit, I'm too young to look like this!
And I've BEEN asking at work, at church, even random people with cute haircuts and I still end up with a disappointing 'do. More like a "don't," actually.
on the bright side it IS a good hair-do for Lake Powell - not many styling opportunities there (except for post water-ski soaking wet and windy speed boat blow out)
when you get back from vacation it will have grown out a bit, you might feel better about it then
Sorry. Bad haircuts (and by bad I mean ones you hate no matter what anyone else says) suck. On the bright side, you didn't nearly have both your thumbs ripped off by a Scottish Terrier (or "Scottish Terror" as I'm now calling him) this week.
If you want to try to fix it while you're here in SLC, let me know and I'll hook you up with my guy. Hey, Utah is a tad closer to Texas than Cali . . .
After applying two styling products and spending three times as much time styling, the results are passable. Much better than the pics from Sunday or the stringy, tweaky mess it was yesterday.
I think I can Make It Work until our California trip. I even found a cute rescue cut that would work while it's growing out.
I have three words for you: Toni & Guy. They are pricey, but boy do they know how to give fun, stylish haircuts.
I think there are some locations in Texas, but I'm not sure if any would be near you.
Glad you've figured out how to make it work in the meantime!
You always hate the haircuts that I like on you. Oy vey. I think it's way darling, dahling. And it wouldn't be hurt any by SMILING for the camera, now would it?? :-) Now *I* sound like I'm ready for assisted living. (Hell, maybe I am.) Anyhow, I like it. So there.
