No, but I would not be taken along to client meeting if I looked anything but professional. My place in my workplace isn't so strong that I would get away with it.
Also, I don't think it looks that bad, and the front curl is really cute, but then again if it looks like your mom's hair... nobody wants to have their mom's hair. *g*
It already has some blonde highlights, they just don't show in the pic. It looks just like the short-whatever that women change their hair after they feel like they are too old for the long-whatever. It isn't *bad*, it just doesn't look like anything (other than my moms hair..). :/
A hairdresser did that to me too, once. She did some evil magic and I ended looking like our mother, curls and all. And I don't even have curly hair! I had asked either short enough for not to need to put it up at work (hospital) or long enough to have a pony tail. And I hate to blow dry my hair. So I ended up with too short and too long hair cut which had to be blow dried each morning.
Two weeks, and I had my hair cut to 2cm short. Much better. Too bad, that we had our family portrait taken during those two weeks...
I would so much like to go all emo and get straigt lines and geometrical asymmetrical cut and bangs and shit, but that would mean straightening my hair with a flat iron after every shower! With wawy hair, there is only so much that you can do...
It doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look YOU either. But it's long enough that it has potential to change with colour or very soon it will grow a bit and you can change the style complitely. That's the good thing with short(ish) hair. They grow so fast that the wrong kind of haircut or hairdo will be solved fairly quickly. Of course odottavan aika on aina pitkä....
Ooh, I should go to a hairdresser something liek once a month now! Yeah, no, since a simple cut will cost 30 euros, sigh.
And then I have this "my hairdresser"-problem. I have a feeling that my hairdresser will feel bad if I just go to some other, and I just can't say to her that I ddin't like it, as I was all "looks good!" whe nshe cut it. Sigh. I just have to learn to one of those people who can say that no, I don'r like it, can't you still do something to it?
I changed my hairdresser right after I had moved to Turku and been there twice - didn't like. I had pressures like you to go back there, but then I just thought that they are not going to miss one customer (except when talking about money they lose) and how the hell do they even know if I have moved to another town or country and that's why stopped going there. You should do the same if you moved back here, and unless the hairdresser is your very good friends, I doubt that you'd go there to explain why you won't be coming anymore. People move. And people change hairdressers.
Hell, if I had the guts to leave the old one (and even get my wedding look done by someone else instead of my regular hairdresser and I confessed it) and choose a new one, you should too. : ) The biggest problem might just be that where to find a good hairdresser that suits your style and understands you. You many suffer a couple more disappointments while doing that, but when you find the one you can really trust, it's worth everything.
And no, I didn't mean you should keep your hair short and go to hairdresser every month. Unless you really like to keep it short and neat, in which case it's a must. But it's your choice. I just mean the if you really want to fix what they did now and you are not comfortable with that even when it grows and changes a bit, you just need one visit to change it all after the hair has grown a bit so the model can be changed. After that you can return to the once every 3 months or every 6 months or whatever you want and can afford. I was just saying that fixing that damage won't take long, it just requires one extra visit within fairly short notice.
Hair will grow. If it feels bad now, it definitely won't take long. And you could even go to some other hairdresser and without cutting or anything just aske them to show you some other ways to style your hair with what you've got now. That can't be very expensive and they might find a solution that solves the whole problem. I have always wondered how professionals can create such a different styles from such a simple and short hair. Very long hair is actually much more difficult to modify than short one. Unless you can do 10 different kind of buns or ponytails etc.
Okay, I'm just going to say this right out. In my opinion, which you can certainly disregard, the so-called "emo hair" looks just unwashed. As in, not very clean. So I wouldn't recommend that (for anyone).
While you're waiting for the hair to grow (?), can you change the look with pins? Like, pull a chunk of hair to one side and pin it there? Obviously, I haven't used pins in years so my advice might not be useful ;)
Also, my sister renewed her ID or something a few years ago and discovered she looked like our dad in the photo. =O Which was a bit of a shock.

Sedated butch lesbian sounds fun too. ^^
Work appropriate... sigh, I guess that will await for me eventually too. Luckily I'm too lazy to dye my hair more than every few years.
